pulley system on the cheap

good idea

Would use 2x ball bearing rollers for it. And a guiding tube for the cable over the weightstack.

How would a guiding tube work for something like this?

Powerlifter Marc 'Spud' Bartley did very well with these (sales) during the Rona (Spud Inc).

You can make the same thing out of Home-Depot stuff, but Im much too lazy these days. (Would just buy one of his if needed).

Says it reduced from £144 to £53, id feel ripped off paying 53 quid for that useless piece of shit never mind the full price

I saw someone months ago rig one up like the first one using strong mini-bands. The bands were anchored using nylon tie downs at the bottom and snap link / carabiner at the top. It was very smooth to use.

Why build a stupid ass back machine taking up space. Just do a few pushups a day will increase your back

[Grape Ape]

This guys got an easy 10k+ set up with 8 olympic+  bars, tons of bumpers, kettlebells, dumbbells, and is going cheap on a pulley, lol.

Your fat, slovenly ass can't do push ups any more so shut the fuck up.

Even more silly, he's got all that equipment and he looks like he's never "trained" a day in his life

This guy gets stuff sent to him by the companies and he reviews them. He's gotten free racks, expensive plates, sets, etc.
He cant build muscle for shite, but i've seen him deadlift 500, etc.

Gayer than knowing stuff about a dude on youtube......lol..

All kidding aside, it's a great set up, and more power to that dude for being able to do all that.

My home depot exercise equipment is a 20/24/30 plyo box, stackable box squat boxes, pull sled, dip belt.  All in cost about 70 bucks, for equipment that would cost a bit over 200.

Yah, I'm into gyms, home gyms, equipment, etc so I watch this guy on occasion. (He owns a real gym (or training center) as well.
His personality fits me better than screaming, juiced up, phony IG drug addicts.

But yes, very gay.   

[oldtimer1]

You can afford a power rack to anchor the pulley but not a home lat machine?  I can see some people attaching this with screws to a beam and having it rip out.

His setup is pretty awesome, and a 500lb pull is no joke.

Bearings are a must, but I would avoid tube, so you can adapt cable to go over one or 2 rollers and if necessary have one roller attached somewhere on the lower end in front of feet.  That also allows for movements like this:

You will definitely want something to anchor your feet also in order to have power pulling.

Why not stand up and do cable curls?

Why not stand up and do cable curls?

It looks more badass lying down.

If you had a low back injury lying down would be better. also flat on the floor you cant use momentum and cheat

$20 is my final offer.

another variation, years back the great jcg hurt his biceps and could only do curls laying on a flat bench under a lat machine.
