The only way one could die from using this is if there were 3 people involved. One doing a pull down, the other holding the other person's head under the weights.

>Where do you draw the line between building an item and buying it?
Cost and risk, I'm putting removing a load bearing wall and installing 2 flitch plates in my house for 1800 dollars versus the 25k I was quoted. Is there risk? Yes, but do the math and figure it out.

>>2891584
This is not nearly as retarded as the homemade deadlift/benchpress racks or >>2891585 . In case of catastrophic failure with that thing you're likely just to get a few splinters and maybe a bruise.

What in the fuck is a "deadlift rack" and how could it possibly fail?

He's a dyel and probably meant squat rack.

>>2891665
Squat rack, excuse my ESL nature. If you do a deadlift in those you can use them for security in which case you really don't want to see it fail.
>>2891667 understands me

Once again, you mean squat, ESL bro.

Save for deadlifting against a wall and falling backwards into it at lockout, so the bar falls into your femurs and either snaps them in half or inverts your knees, I can't see a way a rack could possibly provide any safety for a deadlift. Pic is a deadlift.
Do you mean safety bars for squatting? While you obviously never want equipment to fail, the danger of that particular point of failure is extremely overstated. When squatting the bar rests calmly somewhere around your upper back so you're unlikely to drop it even if both your hands somehow slip off, and even if you did drop it you can still bail by just falling forward. Conversely, you'll find lots of people dropping the bar when benching because with no bailing options your palms not being too sweaty is potentially all that stands between you and oblivion.

>$ 150
WTF. That’s definitely not worth that much.

>>2891682
Have you seen lumber prices? At $150, he might still be selling it at a loss.

>>2891677
It's joever for me bros, keep going on without me.
>>2891679
>Do you mean safety bars for squatting
Yes, don't mind me kek.

>>2891679
>you're unlikely to drop it even if both your hands somehow slip off
Safeties aren't for dropping, they're for failing the squat so you don't go to snap city when it comes back down on you if you're not getting spotted. They're a very good thing to have not fail. You sound like a dyel.
>>2891695
It's okay homie, get to the gym more and you won't mix up the lift names kek.

>>2891731
Yeah that's my point. During a squat they're for gently setting the bar down on. Unless you're making them out of styrofoam and papier mache they're not gonna catastrophically fail from a failed squat. I'd be much more worried about them failing from dropping even a lmao2pl8 bench.

>>2891584
I would have made it tight to the 2x10s

>>2891584
Considering people literally give these away for free in working condition, I'm sure I could get a good one for less than the cost of materials of building.

The retardation in this thread got me thinking I could probably build "deadlift racks" and sell them to /fit/. Like if you see the snake oil some gymbros get into there is definitely a market.

>>2891584
those construction lags will survive longer than the timber will, and a few 2x6s and 4x4 posts should be fine for that. Yeah, a metal frame will last longer and feel safer, but I don't see an issue here. The cable is the point of failure on these machines, metal frame or not.

>>2891584
there's literally nothing wrong with this construction and all the fastening hardware looks up to the task. you people really overestimate how strong wood and screws can be.
if it were me I'd probably overbuild it with metal brackets and more bolts particularly at the joint between the middle column and the overhead 2xs, but this will probably work fine for years.

I'm actually going to make a combination squat rack/pull up bar to keep outside once it's spring again, now that I'm at the level where failure during a squat is actually a possibility every other workout.

>>2891797
>>2891854
dimensional lumber holds up an entire fuckin home, and there's dipshits here like OP that think it cant handle the baby weights theyre throwing around

>>2891796
no one on /fit/ lifts, though

>>2892118
Hence why the deadlift rack would be useful.

>>2891667
lmao
