>>39914804
I don't know OP, why don't you go ask John Ashe.

Ashe was found dead at his home in Dobbs Ferry, New York on June 22, 2016. The Westchester County, New York medical examiner's office reported that Ashe died of injuries (specifically, traumatic asphyxia, and laryngeal fractures) suffered when a barbell he was lifting from a bench dropped on his neck.

TL;DR, don't piss off Hillary.

does shittetoe recommend against a wood-frame house?

>>39915565

>>39914804
so uh...what happens when you fling several hundred pounds of iron directly at a wooden crossmember on a badly failed lift ?

>>39915669

Nothing, wood is strong.

>>39915591

>Build wooden rack the exact same shape as a metal rack thinking the materials will be nearly as strong in critical areas.

>tfw too broke to buy equipment and have a single dumbbell coming in tomorrow
Literally going to do Floor press, OHP, and curls for months.

>>39915730
You can clean and squat that shit, and deadlift obviously.

>>39915715

Why wouldn't it be?

>>39915744
it can crack

>>39915741
>deadlift obviously
Holy fuck this is crazy.

Going to need to buy a heavier dumbbell though.

>>39915761
one leg rdl are superior

>>39915750

Wood is pretty fucking strong, I used to work in a sawmill and would have to do stress tests which consisted of pushing a hydraulic press on to the centre of the board until it broke, guarantee nobody on /fit/ can lift a weight that would break a building grade piece of pine.

>>39915787
it doesn't have to break. a tiny crack will gradually degrade the integrity of the whole structure.

>>39915816

well thats why you inspect and replace as needed

>>39915827
>that guy that inspects his machine's structural integrity between sets

>>39915787
>>39915827
It depends on the direction of the force relative to the grain direction, but even in the right direction, the holes drilled in for the safety catches significantly weaken that grain strength. Further, the unit OP built would need a lot of dismantling to replace even one of the upright supports, which would be a huge pain in the ass considering how often he'd probably have to do it

>>39914804

>safety pins that high

stop quarter squatting

>>39915787
If wood were strong, it would still be a tree.
Like, we wouldn't even be able to chop it.
Checkmake, woodshopists.

>>39915787
>Wood is pretty fucking strong
No, some wood types are strong, others are shit.

Guys I live an hour from the nearest gym and it's probably shit anyway, what are the essentials for a home gym? Got a barbell and dumbbells with a few light weights at the moment, no racks or benches

>>39914804
Are the main pieces 6x4s? and are your safeties hollow bars lol

>>39915669

nice crafting skills you got there you little gnome

>>39914831
>Also recommends squat everyday and deadlifting once a week for 1x5

>>39915761
b-but he has a barbell

is he a retarded

>>39916229
maybe the ancient greeks but i think it would have the same problem as wood its so dense and so solid it will crack and lose stability and safety quickly. not to mention that at least with wood you can replace parts of it but solid stone cracks and the whole thing is fucked.

metal > all because it is flexible, malleable and sturdy.
