never thought i'd be able to sit through an entire 18 minute video of watching a guy build a gym bench...but buff dad made it very enjoyable. if you're reading this, keep up the good work and the effort you put into making these videos is much appreciated.

I constructed a bench following his advice. The bench is perfect for home Workouts during the quarantine. I weigh 211lb and used two 55lb dumbells and it feels safer than some benches in the Gym. Stay healthy guys don't let Corona get to you!!!

I got it!!!! This is the Parts list for the bench.

Your dad needs his own tv show lol. Idk why but I like seeing things being built

Sweet binch, I love that binch.. Especially with the 4 buh 4's.

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. kzfaq.infoUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.

Whos here after all gyms closed ?

Forget the money, it truly is something to make the equipment yourself, and then use it for working out...... nice bench.

"build a bitch"

You really are my most favourite youtube/fitness channel. You´re not only giving videos on how to do exercises and what to avoid, but also do awesome videos like this. Buff Dad you rock ! And you even made a 12 week workout plan for free, which I really enjoyed trying out. You´re not about the money, you´re really trying to help us. All in all yoßre awesome, keep up the great work !

I just wanted to say thabk you so very much for putting up DOY videos on how to construct gym equipment. I am a craftsman (electrician to be specific) and I love building stuff! I could have gotten this assembled in due time after a process of trial and error but it helps tremendously to have someone who can give you the measurements and the step by step instructions. That saves me so much time and really helps me alot! I am watching ALL of your videos and once again...I am super thankful for you and your videos! Thank you again!

This is a great build thank you for the instructions. Looking forward to watching more videos

Just made this, feels really solid - I'm 6'4 and 240 lbs.

Definitely excited for the dip station and arm blaster! It'd be cool if DIY Duke could make an ab roller, a roman chair/GHR, or a T-bar attachment to the power rack where you can add the barbell. Really anything in general. Loving his series!

Thank you for your videos! Much appreciated!

I love your explanation of the project being less about money and more about a sense of pride in building things. Great diy video!

That's totally awesome! I need to build this. Thanks for the video

Buff dudes dad is awesome!

Stumbled across this by accident today, totally forgot this was the video we watched to build our gym bench a few years ago! Easy video to follow and this totally works. We’ve had it for 3 years now and it’s still solid - glad I came across this again, I’d recommend this video to anyone looking to build a bench. We happened to have a pad lying around that was the right size and we fastened that to the top as well.

Yaaaaa ,, great stuff !! Keep them coming!!

What about building a simple cable system for some cable exercises to complete the home gym ;)

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and as an avid do it yourselfer and hobbiest woodworker i have to say im very impressed, thank you for such an informative video and I'd like the folks at buff dudes to know that im excited to base my design on your own.

These are some of my favorite DIY videos ever. Buff Dude Dad rocks.

Love these vids guys!

I watched this even though I own a bench. No regrets.

watching those screws go in is so satisfying

I loved it, thanks for your input.

Would just like to say a very big thank you for all yr efforts and time making this vid for us who need it ,,,take care wishing u all the very best cheers Mac

Buff Dad looks like Heisenberg from Breaking Bad!

How about an adjustable Flat/Incline/Decline bench???

After watching this video about 3 weeks ago I decided to build the Buff Dudes bench! The thing is AWESOME! I would definitely recommend this DIY project. The bench is super sturdy and doesn't flex at all. That was really my primary concern after first watching the video. Thanks for the video Dudes, looking forward to more in this series.

I Made my own bench following de buff dude guide, please upload more videos it turned out freaking amazing, now i'm getting buff gains !

man you rock, this DIY videos inspired me to do my own home gym, the tricky part will be to actualy buy weights plates, maybe there is a workaround, any ideas??? they are expensive as hell.. :(

I suggest making the horizontal 37" piece 42" and shortening the legs to 8" pieces. This takes the stress of the weight off of the brackets and puts it on the horizontal piece of wood. This was recommendation from a friend who is a structural engineer.

youre the man! keep up the good work

Incredible! You definitely add a unique flavor to the channel. It's cool to see a family working together to achieve goals. Appreciate all the hard work.

He scared me when he started bending those Simpson Strong Ties, I was like "Welp, I'm not gonna be able to do this project without blowing my back."

At the start I thought he said, ".....But now we need a bitch!"

Thank you. This video was much appreciated.

Thank you. I’m thankful to you please keep up the work.

Duke, you hurt that bench's feelings when you were kicking it around. It just wants to love you!

For some reason I really enjoyed watching the process, from beginning to end, and I'm a guy who gets easily distracted!

This was very interesting. Simple , no nonsense approach with an easy to follow set of instructions. Awesome video.

Wow!! Super cool!! After watching this im definitely gonna build my own stuff! I used to have store bought but after a few years in the elements outside they are rusted junk! Totally gonna do this! Great video! Thanks!!

Buff Dad rocks!

I can't wait to make my binch out of 4 befores!

Excellent explanation and Straight to the point thanks buff dude 😎👍🏼

After 5 years, Buff Dad's work is still great! Props & greetings from Germany!

im not gonna build one.. im just here to watch and it's damn fun and interesting to watch this DIY video

I just so happen to have most of these stuffs lying around in my garage :)

Awesome stuff and love the bronco and cruiser in back round very 😎

Built it. Love it. Thanks Buff Dad!

the base (feet) should be wider than the bench to avoid tipping, just saying.

Hey bully leave that bench alone! Pick on someone your own size lol! Great vid bro, thanks!!

This is awesome. Great series, keep it up!

Awesome! Good job!!

nice work

Doesn't have to be quite 50$ if you have a habitat for humanity in your area they sometimes have Re-stores that sell old lumber for next to nothing

Looking good man. Thank you.

Great video. I just built one following your instructions and my boys said it looks and feels like a professional bench!

Nice work. The footprint of the bottom posts seem a bit narrow. Most posts extend out at to give a wider footprint to be more stable.

I think it might be a nice idea to glue the foam onto the wood, otherwise it might move around a little.

Awesome video sir. Thanks!!

Awesome video buff dad!

can u make an adjustable bench for incline and decline bench presses?

I'm not really into DIY videos, but Duke really made this interesting!

looks amazing!

Greatest Buff Dude video ever!

I freakin love this guy. I extremely love DIY stuff and the fact that he makes these kind of DIY's so manly, I can better persuade the bf to join in with me! >:D

If your looking for cheap ways to build a bench. Get a pallet from the dump for the 4x4. You can also get plywood there most of the time. Thats how I build a home gym with my dad when I was younger living out on his farm. He had the tools and we got most things from the dump. Not the coolest thing to admit but free is free.

Thank you. Really easy build and sturdy af.

This is awesome I'm probably going to build this along with the power rack over the summer

Cool video, I sorta love the incline bench, can DIY Duke do a incline add-on for the bench?

Just so yall know there are strong ties that are made to a 90 degree angle already and are much more resistant to bending because of the way it is made

Love this guy, quality instructions and makes me literally LOL every time. He says "Stupid benches" **kicks bench** I wasn't expecting that. Thanks Buff Dad

Very nice! Beautiful bronco!

Nice job but, to put it on a test, why didnt you try the 405 bench?

adjustable bench please, for incline and decline. Also a cable machine thing.

Just found this channel and love these DIY vids, thanks alot!

Dude...I just found your channel and I love it. The videos are awesome - you make it look easy and have a cool sense of humor. OK so I wanted to ask if you could do a video similar to the bench and build an adjustable bench (incline & decline) and maybe even one for a sit-up/ab bench. Keep up the great work!!!

I have a few ideas but I don't know if they are possible. -incline/decline bench -Dumbbell Rack -Plate tree -Tricep push-down machine Thanks!

Just wanting you to know: I'm selling my bench and squat stands to build this and the power rack. You rock Duke!

Awesome video, super helpful. Made me one of these bad boys today with relative ease.

I am still coming back to your videos bro. Good stuff!

Weighted vest! For those pull ups/dips etc.

10:02 (Russian accent) Safety is number one priority..

Thanks a lot for those amazing explanations/inspirations!!

I've been power watching a lot of your videos today, I just wish I'd seen them a few weeks ago. I just bought the wife a squat rack and bench to go with our Bowflex. I would definitely have saved some money building our own power rack and bench. You have excellent videos, and I appreciate all the great ideas and helpful tips. I'm proud to be your newest sub as of a few seconds ago. Happy New Year!!

0:27 I thot he said “we need a b***”

you kinda remind me Walter White

You are doing a great service, mad respect, thank you!

Awesome work! Btw love the red bronco.

I keep hearing bitch instead of bench

Yeah, "Stupid benches."

I love making my own stuff. Will definitely be making this one. Thanks again Buff Dudes!

cant wait to try it myself. I enjoy doing little projects.

121 assholes!! Good vid buff dad

Jeez, Buff Dad. Did that bench owe you money or something?

Thanks Buff Duke!!!

You are so awesome! Love watching you DIYDUKE. That should be a hashtag for all the buff dudes and dudets who make your equipment! What I'd love to see is you tackle the Jacob Ladder! It's like a treadmill sort of thing but instead of running you use both hands and feet and continuously climb! It'd be so cool!
