Curls in the Rack

I think it’s pretty satisfying when you can turn a pile of metal into something useful.

Here is the first DIY project almost completed… just needs to be painted.

I wanted to make a stand for my Dumbells that was at a perfect level so the top plates didn’t fall down at all when taking out the desired weight (which made re-racking difficult on my other stand) and also I wanted to be able to stand between the Dumbells when picking them up (rather than leaning over them from the front) mission accomplished

The full tutorial will be up on my YouTube channel soon, if you wanted to build one for yourself.

Special shout-out to for always being super helpful in getting the metal I needed.

Big shout out to for making a slightly less wide rack making my transformer bar fit without almost hitting the pop-pins 🤙💪🏻👍

Here are a few pic of the dip station, absolutely beautiful knurled handles, 3 different width adjustments, uhm on all areas that touch the rack, including when it’s in the storage position… I love it and highly recommend. I’ll have full YouTube video out soon. “Curls in the rack”

No filter needed… having no filter is my deadliest flaw or a great skill… only time will tell… full gym tare down and rebuild is on my YouTube channel now.

Almost finished with the garage gym transformation, the final step was changing out the ghd that I had originally made for my lever arm setup. (Since I think I’m done with lever arms… for now ;)

So I went ahead and used some spare metal tubing and brackets… so that once you remove the pads and foot rollers/anchor

The rest of it simply detaches and folds up onto it self (I’ll show in a future video) for easy storage… hopefully this helps someone out there 🤙

I just noticed that you can now for a limited time put in a pre-order for the Tri-Rack…from an awesome option for anyone you needs a rack that completely fold down and can be ticket away.

And for people that also want an extra post that doesn’t get in the way to use with the isolator.

The complete gym pare down/tare down is almost complete.. and I’ll be posting numerous reels/YouTube videos showcase what I did and why in my small garage gym setup to maximize the space but also incorporating as much equipment that I actually use into without it getting in the way… so stay tuned for that.

I will be showcasing all the companies who have helped me with that vision along the way. But I want to give a special shoutout to Mark aka Mr (link in my bio) for taking the time to go back and fourth with me to make sure that my vision for the gym was going to come out perfect.

This is only part of what we worked on. But as you can see the distressed wood look that I have had in my gym is here to stay and now the new weight stacks reflect that as well.

Full shabang! Coming soon to YouTube most likely. Too much to show in 1 reel. “Curls in the Rack”

The Gym transformation is almost complete… I went ahead and purchased the Double Decker Barbell holders and The Shorty Bar from

Thank you to everyone who helped me make the decision to go with with your opinions in the comment section… only drawback is they are too pretty to use 😜

The isolator from attachments are just too nice to throw on the ground. So I made a little wall attachment (going to throw a little lip on or magnet) which one do I choose? 🤔

If you are looking for a great bench at great price, this bench is fantastic. Check out my review on YouTube (curls in the rack)
