Homemade equipment is awesome!

I don't go to a gym anymore and am always looking for interesting ways to change up my home workouts (plus save some $$$). Over the years I've made a bunch of homemade equipment such as sandbags, medicine balls, kettlebells, club bells, slosh pipes, etc.

Here's a great resource that has tons of links to plans and ideas for making your own equipment.

After I move I'll probably make some of my own as well, especially the power rack on here:

my brother went to lowes and bought a metal bar & 2 small lawn mower wheels.
He put motorcycle grips on the ends of the bars & it made an ab roller
It cost him like $10 to make lol, but it worked well!

good link OP. I like that site.

The only one I've done is the sled out of tyre and wood. Easy as. Slap some weights in there and it's damn hard!
