Barbell rack

[BrokenBiker]

I've got an flat/incline bench and preacher pad already, looking at getting back into some casual weights lifting but my barbell rack was in the garage that caught fire and wasn't fit to keep when I was eventually allowed to soft through the destruction.

So, I've got plenty of steel, mostly 50x50x2.5, anyone made their own bench press/barbell racks? Ideally individual stands rather than 1 complete frame so it can be moved for storage, maybe with a bracket on each to be able to pin a bar across to keep them stable

I need to make one too later this year after ive built my garden Gym room these were the designs i thought easiest to replicate

first one is for dumbells but ive seen this design used for barbells too , fairly easy to replicate with a pillar drill and holesaw or a magdrill if you have one . These are obviously laser/plasma cut and folded but the top of the box section would be left on .

Ah, I may have used the wrong term...I'm after a rack to start and finish from for bench press, to sit at the head of my bench and hold the bar while I get in and out of position

Ah ok i get it like this sort of thing ? maybe not as high as this is for squats etc but would be ok for bench

Yeah similar. I won't need any adjustment as it's only me using it and will only be for bench press so working out an ideal height is easy, was just wondering if anyone had any better designs than the usual H pattern base and a bit of box welded upright with a saddle for the bar to sit in

looks like the simplest way to do it tbh
