thanks Renzo, glad that helped. I too grew up without a Dad to show me things. Don't let that stop you and greetings back from Oregon.

How's that dobkey press coming along, Buddy? It's been on your to-do list for over a year.

😀

Thankyou

+K Ma that's very cool, yeah you could make the donkey press out of wood

+amon amarth hey you're welcome, glad you liked it.

I think you'll really like it cause it gives you the squat workout while having your back supported. Also love the calf workout it provides too.

+DIY Duke Thank you BUFF Dad!!

I know I want to make one, need to build some lats

Thank BrownRiders13

+Arch Angel actually did make a power sled

+Ernie Vc found em at Goodwill

Is that a real store or you are just joking. I like the shoes, and I wonder where can I get them. I assume they are those boxing shoes, right?

+Ernie Vc yeah goodwill is a thrift store, I just know they're Converse brand. Never seen that kind of Converse shoes before, thought cool hope they fit. 10 bucks and they were like brand new. Googled them but couldn't find them.

DIY Duke Thanks for the info!

+Thanasis Thomas yep

magnificent if u could do a workshop tour just to give us some ideas to set up our own btw i diyed most of ur gym equipment :)

Charlie MMAFAN I know in such a hurry sometimes, sorry

DIY Duke Maybe you're hiding the specifics for an instructional video series or book or something huh? But after more use how has this vertical leg press held up and how has it been working over time just curious?

+Charlie MMAFAN been working really well and coming up in September I'm going to be hitting it hard been a long and busy summer and Fedor is my favorite MMA fighter of all time

@@diyduke that's awesome I love Fedor as well obviously with my picture in here but regarding the vertical leg press if you had the top pipes that come down be the smaller pipes that go inside the bigger pipes that would be on the bottom uprights you could go a little bit deeper in your movement just to tell you but regardless you're awesome at making things and I love watching you and your son in all your buff dudes workout videos.

I put 500 lbs with no problem.

+DIY Duke awesome, thank you. Great videos! You inspired a massive home gym project for next summer. Keep up the good work!

+DJHugedong thanks DJ have fun, nothing like DIY.

yes I've been procrastinating, I'll do that later today

yes I've been procrastinating, I'll do that later today

Thankyou. Yeah been procrastinating about those measurements, do that later today.

oh thank you, i'll wait. you should do a leg raise/captains chair next time

Okay here is the info Rafael, et al: the square tubing is 1 -1/2 × 1 -1/2 inches, the top piece is 41 inches long that's where the weights are put and also where you push against. Next is the base made of the square tubing: 2 pieces at 36 inches, those are the length. The width is at 32 inches (two of those). You have 4 pieces, 3 inches long which have two holes 3/8 inch drilled in each one. They are welded to the 32 inch pieces, this is so you can take the donkey press apart. Course you'll be drilling 3/8 inch holes in the 36 inch pieces to create the frame base. If you don't need to take apart just weld the base. Two sizes of pipe: 1- 1/4 and 1- 3/4. The 1- 1/4 is used for the support and the 1- 3/4 will slide over the 1- 1/4. I put a little axle grease on the 1- 1/4 so it slides easier. There are two 1- 3/4 pipes cut at 24 inches and 2 at 14 inches on top where the weights go. 2- 1- 1/4 pipes at 36 inches and 4- 1- 1/4 at 16 inches for the 45° supports. The plywood base is 26×34 inches. Two 2×4 's 34 inches long cut in half length wise at a 45° to provides rear elevation. The plywood is screwed to the 2×4's. Then padding and upholstery cover. Course you can adjust the height of pipes for your particular height.

+Elvis Closs yep

Thanks Giulietta

Buff Dad!! Buff Mom approved!
