Does anyone have any plans to build jerk boxes? I've tried looking but didnt find any.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations on a heavy duty squat/power rack. My ceiling is limited to 85", so the rack would have to be around 80" high.

Any recommendations?

Well I have 2 boxes that I built for Deads, which elevate the bar so I can grip it from a standing position.

Use them for partials and also FROM. But with these I'm starting from the top not the bottom.

Have used them quite a bit....still solid as a rock. They'll take 300+ with no problem at all. Don't know what their limit is yet.

Guess I'll have to upload a pic so you know what I'm talking about.

Will do that very soon.

These are what I use for when I don't want to Dead from the floor.

They're a lot stronger than they look. They're really beefed up under the section the weights rest on.

I leave the 50's on the bar all the time.. and just add when I'm Deading or whatever.

And while I'm at it...here's a Dipping Station I built which will also take a fair amount of extra weight...
