After suggesting a DIY dip station to @Kev in this post. I figured I should ask people on here to post a picture of their own DIY fitness equipment in this thread. We might all get great ideas.

I'll post what I've made over the years. Stall bars with pull-up/dip attachment and board for HLRs. Pinch blocks and pull-up dowels. Wooden parrallettes.

I am a huge fan of DIYing fitness gear.
I think it its a big motivator to actually use it because theres alot of "skin in the game".
Also its customizable to your own needs.

Last year I needed paralettes that would be bigger then then the small pushup ones (for Lsit to Handstand transitions)
but small enough to fit in my gym bag.....
Had alot of trouble finding the perfect size so I made these...............

Is there anyway to get the blueprints of those stall bars?
 
@John K neat rack for your plates! Nice bar too.

@Abishai I posted a thread here in the past with a link to the file on Googledrive but the link keeps bugging. Just PM me your email adress and I'll send you the file. If you're interested in making it I'll also explain the light mods I'd do if I was to make them again.

Also I love the fact that you can break down your parrallettes to carry with you.

Those pinch blocks and hubs cost daft money if you buy them online.
 
I used to use those PVC parallettes when I was a kid doing gymnastics, and I was going to make another set as they are so simple but I was worried they wouldn't actually hold a grown adult. Good to see they work for adults so I'll be making a set soon.
