By using DIY weight stack pin olympic plate adapter, you can increase the weight resistance beyond what the machine is capable of. This can also be used for smaller weight sizes and fractional plates. It is a fun little project that took me a few minutes and a couple of dollars to make.

Woah that Gluck guy seems cool! Would sure be nice if he returned the favor eh?

He's okay, makes a lot of vulgar jokes in his videos though, my grandma just decided to unsubscribe from his channel. I heard that he will be breaking from his normal video structure to make a bio video on me. It should be interesting.

Brilliant solution for incremental increases when 5kg jump is too much. Thanks

Thank you! My weight stacks are in 10 pound increments, it is so nice to have options in between!

素晴らしい！私も廃材や不要品を使ってウェイトスタックピンをどうにか安価で作れないものかと試行錯誤していた最中でした。正規品を買ってしまえば済んでしまいますが、それではつまらないですもんね。アイディアを駆使して自分で作る事が楽しいんですよね。この動画、本当に素晴らしいと思います。

Wow. Superb. I don't know anyone or any other channel out there that hits the mark as well as you do. The ideas 💡, the relevancy, the simplicity and inspiration. Seriously bro, bang on great job. I also appreciate how the channel can impower people like myself to believe, "I can do that." I don't comment on many channels on a regular basis. I find myself feeling almost obligated after your videos 📹. Also, I appreciate the not having to swear every 5 seconds in a video. I am a dad and a practicing Christian ✝️ believer. I do watch many other channels that are far less clean due to value of content. I also don't condemn these people either. I am beyond pleased to watch something that is way less vulgar while my family is in the room. Fantastic job. Can't wait for future content. You have earned that "🔔" notification smash.

Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me. My goal is to design equipment in a way that anyone with the tools can also build. I am glad to hear that it comes through. I try to keep the content clean as well, knowing that people of all ages might be interested in learning this stuff. Thank you for your support. As long as people are interested, I’ll keep making these videos!

Great job as always! I was wondering if you would be able to make grip like mag's one, because here in italy are impossible to find, and if i'd like to buy a pair of them i would pay something like 300 bucks in shipment cost lol

Awsome, I will try it out, question, for the 3rd option, why not use 2 inch dowel, will it be to tight?, Does the 1 3/4 dowel holds well?

I’ve found I need to sand down a 2” dowel to get it to fit

Will the bolts not hold a lot of weight? You need a steel rod? How about stainless steel threaded rods if I wanted a nut on the other side?
