Still need to add a board but free truck tire from a local midas shop. 6 dollar eye bolt that is probably way overkill from menards and the lifting sling from harbor freight for 11 bucks is super nice with basically built in handles. Probably going to get a long rope for pulls and some other way to connect to myself. Connected the thicker strap via a 2 dollar loop strap from home depot. Cant beat the value added a piece of scrap 1x10 I had laying around and got a flange and pipe at home Depot for another 14 buck. Still can't beat it!

Phenomenal upgrade overall. Way more versatile than I expected. Great for cable machine. Landmine work. Linking both of my arms together. Very versatile and must have for anyone that likes quality. Way nicer than my cable tower...or the linker that came with it. Look forward to my next darko piece!

I made my own with a landmine, barbell, the Bells of steel 30 D Handle bar and some pipes/bolts from home depot as handles. The 30 D Handle is 5/8th inch holes so a standard size to make. You could also probably just use 5/8th inch hole plate holders, I just wanted the smaller grip of 1.25 inch pipe when i made this. I found a plastic pipe and some duct tape inside of the pipe to help make the bolt fit in there firmly and quietly. Probably need 1 more washer to protect the 30 D bar and make it work. But all in took multiple things I had, build some handles at home depot and ended up with a fun and useful DIY viking press for fairly cheap all things considered. handles are nice for rows too. With the multiple width options gives a ton of versatility as well.

Built my own for about 45ish dollars. 10 for a pulley, 10 for a cable, a 2x4, had the 1x10 for the deck, 10 for stain and 10 for screws as I was out. Is it perfect, nope, does it get the job done without spending a small fortune, yes it does. It's about 24 inches deep, 26 inches wide. It is light so it will move if you are not on it. Works for belt squats, planned enough space to add the edge of my bench for chest supported rows as well. I liked a lot of the designs out there I found and took elements of them. I'll probably use my squat wedges for a touch more depth on the squat, but otherwise works great so far! Let me know if you have any questions! This started by looking at some of the options on alibaba for the 180ish range, then i went down the rogue rhino path and realized, i can't fit that in my gym nor do i want to spend 2k. knocking myself down two points for build quality as there was one board that is slightly crooked, hidden from view. I also probably should have gone 2x6 instead of 2x4 for the frame to get the extra couple inches of range.

Simply breath taking, feel great in the hand, fantastic for one armed exercises, just grab a nice pair of these in your gym as soon as you can, saying anything else about these would just be nuts.
