HOW TO BUILD A COMPLETELY DIY HOME GYM!!
To get a 1 year supply of Vitamin D + 5 individual travel packs FREE with your first purchase, go to athleticgreens.com/modernbuilds
AG1 is a comprehensive, all-in-one greens powder engineered to fill the nutritional gaps in your diet and support your body’s nutritional needs across four pillars of health: Gut health, Immune support, Energy and Recovery! It’s packed with 75 vitamins and minerals and whole food-sourced ingredients, combining the perfect amount of micronutrients, absorption and taste to jumpstart your daily routine. AG1 is also available in the US, Canada, UK and Europe.
Today we're building a completely DIY Home Gym out of lumber with Concrete weight plates!! This project is a modified Half Rack / Power Rack and is great for squats and bench press. My goal was to create a wood rack that was still sturdy and I think I achieved that! Not a gym bro... any constructive ideas are welcome, leave a comment :) Free plans are linked below, be sure to tag me on instagram if you build something similar!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
