Inspired by VEVOR’s handles, I’ve been working on an ergonomic single-arm lat pulldown handle lately. This is the second prototype and it looks great, but the current design of the attachment part isn’t holding up. I’m planning to make that part wrap around the handle, which should significantly improve the strength, since the current design fails at around 60 kg.
What do you think of this concept? Would you use this?
I’m looking to build a few freestanding numbered markers like the black #14 tower in the photo for a CrossFit gym/training area.
Has anyone made something similar or know how these are constructed?
I’m mainly trying to figure out:
What the inside is made from — foam, wood, plastic, or a metal frame?
What type of padding and vinyl cover works best?
How to make the tapered shape
How the base is weighted so it doesn’t tip over
Approximate dimensions
Best way to add/change the numbers
I don’t need the branding, just the same general shape and function.
If anyone in CrossFit/gym equipment fabrication has built these before, I’d really appreciate some photos, dimensions, or advice on how you did it.
Photo attached for reference.
Cheers fellas and fellinas, my question is in the title. Did any of you have made a proper, useable sandbag? What i made get destroyed fast.
BF is a few months away and I'm already putting together my list for Santa.
Two of the items I have a keen eye on are the Bulletproof Fitness Vertical Belt Squat and a 3 in 1 Selectorized Leg Extension Leg Curl machine like this.
The issue is 1- my gym is a carpeted basement gym with a low 89" ceiling and 2- I have no free space on a wall to wall mount the BPs VBS. I also don't have a dedicate squat rack (hence the need for a dedicate belt squat set up). So I figured, why not finagle a solution where I mount the VBS to the 573 lb leg extension machine using it's 3 x 3 uprights frame.
What exactly would I need to accomplish this? Mini cross members? Bolts? Spacers? First time trying something like this so I want to know how feasible this would be.
TIA
What are people's thoughts on these weightlifting straps that I did my own design on? I'm not sure if they're a hit or miss.
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to up my game on doing pull ups on my pullup bar installed in my bedroom.
First i searched for a pullup counter on the internet. Could not find any such product.
Then i thought let’s just make one, and i ended up making one with a basic robotic kit and writing a code for it. Then, designed a case and 3D printed it.
The sensor automatically counts a pull-up when my head reaches near it.
It turned out amazing, it even motivates me to keep the counter going up as i have installed motivating sound on every 10 pullups and a special sound on every 50.

Hello everyone. Recently picked up a set of plates I believed to be unbranded ivankos. I was so focused on identifying them the O that I completely missed the misspelling on the 45s. Minus the misspell, it still appears to be in line with unbranded ivankos and the 25s 10s and 5s all seem to fit. The 45s a
Have an A stamp underneath the D in standard if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Needed somewhere to store my bars when not using them (other than the floor and corners here and there!)
Made from 1/2 inch cheap ply. Glued, nailed and spraypainted.
Added some small metal shelf supports, but I dont think they're needed. The vertical pull is so close to the wall, that its not a problem.
Other than hating my dumbbells because they're shit to load, i do like the setup. Sometime im gonna make some dumbbell holder, that lets me lock it down while loading or taking off plates.
Might also add something to hang more small accessories on the sides.
Found a scaffold type pull-up bar setup but it feels like the pull-up bar diameter is too big. Currently 1 1/4 inch 43mm.
What is the standard muscle up / pull up bar diameter for most calisthenic exercises?
Thinking a 1 inch or 34mm outside diameter pipe might be best?
Hi, Made a plyo box out of plywood. I will be using it exclusively indoors on a rubber gym floor. Should I finish it, and if so what product? I am looking for something easy to apply, possibly Danish Oil. What have you all used? Or can I just leave it unfinished? I would love to hear you all's experiences. Thanks!
