So you want to make your own gym equipment? Here are a few suggestions:
***
How to make a thick bar – this is a really easy way to make a thick bar and one that I have not seen suggested anywhere else. It took me about two hours to put it together and it’s still going strong a couple of years later.
How to make simple farmers’ walk bars – if you have a small or female client who you would like to introduce to farmers’ walks, this could be the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
How to make farmers’ walk bars – if you are handy with a drill and you have a couple of big pieces of wood kicking around, this is pretty much the easiest way to make a set of farmers’ bars.
How to make a sandbag – you can’t beat a sandbag for value for money training. You can pick up an army surplus duffel bag for next-to-no-money and odd-object training is a great way of improving whole body, functional strength.
How to make a glute-ham raise set-up at home – this is another great value for money tip that I haven’t seen anyone else doing. Using a pull up bar and a couple of resistance bands, you can have your own glute-ham raise.
How to make a pulley system for assisted one-arm chins – one-arm chins are like rocking horse droppings. Very rare. However, I’ve worked up to one and the principal piece of kit I used was my own, homemade pulley system.
How to make a sled – sleds and prowlers have become very popular recently with people looking to get a manly cardio workout in. However, they are not cheap so this is how to make one out of a car tyre.
