The difference between a used bench selling for $50 vs $100 is fixing the upholstery. Great video! In terms of finding quality equipment, torn upholstery causes people to sell low so it’s a great DIY to make something you find for cheap a great addition to your home gym.
Good call. I didn’t even think to mention that!
I am about to replace the leather on my workout bench, this video is very helpful.
Awesome, good to know!
Great content as always!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Will do, thank for watching!

Thank you friend!
Great video! Never used T nuts before. I will give them a try!
Thanks! They're pretty handy when you need a bolt to sit flush. I am utilizing them in my current project as well.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Also look at $20 harbor freight folding mechanics pad. I have a vertical leg press with an horrible pad. It was going cost time and money get it a better pad. But harbor frights folding mechanic pad fit just right, has a head rest and can be adjusted to 1.5 to 3 inches thick depending how unfold it. I take with me even when go to a commercial gym and have another in the car for if car breaks down.
That is awesome! Harbor Freight is full of useful stuff to use in the gym.
Great tip. Can also use the cover and the padding from the HF mechanics pad for the materials necessary to reupholster a workout bench.
@dylanowens3173 such a great idea! I really like the extra folding pad either for my head and my legs. Does the vinyl has good grip for bench press?
This is what i do with used commercial equipment i find for cheap 👌🏻
Such a good idea
Good video 👍🏻
Thank you so much. I’m glad you found it helpful
Thanks for sharing!! I have a rip on mine. Im going to fix it now hahahha
It is definitely something you can do!
I would like to see a Video how you build your Hacksquat.
I am planning on making a tutorial for the hack squat. Hopefully I'll have time for it soon.
Great video. Does the vinyl used provide good gripping for bench press?
I haven’t used it for bench press but I’d imagine it works well.
Thanks for the video! For seal rows, does the foam compress when you put yourself on top of it?
Yes. The amount depends on the density of the foam.
Very good, thankyou!
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What about a 75x75mm to 3x3inch spacer??
Contact F and F steel directly for that recommendation: fandfsteel.com
What thickness of wood?
I usually use anything from 1/2 to 3/4” thick plywood, or 1” pine board
Bro so interesting. (L0L)
Glad you think so!
