Been lifting and running off and on since 2009. Now jumping into anything to keep the spark alive, mainly online powerlifting competitions. Done all sorts of running - 5k up to a half marathon, looking to do a full marathon as soon as training schedule allows.

Stable as anything when attached to the rack. Holds weight really well and you can easily move up and down to adjust grip width.

Finished product works great, though I'd prefer something different for the handles. A smooth dowel doesn't cut it. It was fun to make but I think I would just buy some ready made next time.

Can dig into the hips a bit with the chain, but only with more than a plate on there. Has a habit of putting holes into t-shirts too where the chains rub.

A good range of resistance to be given, but unfortunately the anchor I had broke after not much use. Up to 150lbs if you do use them all at once which isn't bad.
