Make Your Own Squat Rack
Step 1 - Dig the post holes

I used my grandfather's auger-type post hole digger, but a shovel or other post hole digger will work.  You just need a hole about 18 inches deep and a foot in diameter.  Of course, the type of ground makes a difference.  Doing this in soft beach sand might be disastrous. Rocky soil could make a solid foundation by very hard to dig.  Clay is best.

Once we get the holes dug, we will fill the area around the 4x4's with 50 lbs of concrete each for a solid foundation

Steps

1. Dig the post holes
2. Mix the concrete and level the 4x4's
3. Bend the brackets
4. Attach the first bracket
5. Determine level and attach the second bracket
6. Cut grooves / channel for chin-up bar on top of each 4x4.
7. Bolt down chin-up bar
8. Support braces and weight holders (optional)
