Looking for a cable crossover system that doesn't break the bank and cost you an arm and a leg?
Try a home gym alternative that you can easily make with hardware store parts! Stop paying $2500+ for a full cable pulley system!
What you need:- 3/4" iron pipe flange
- 3/4" x 12 inch iron pipe straight piece (nipple)
- 3/4" iron pipe tee
- 3/16" coated cable (also known as wire rope)
- 4 rope clamps
- 2 wire thimbles for 3/16" cable
- 1 pulley with a hook or loop on the top (preferably one that swivels)
- 3 carabiners
- Rope or tricep rope
- 2-4' of metal chain
Instructions:
- Attach the iron pipe pieces together to form a "T".
- Loop the ends of the coated cable around the wire thimble, 1 thimble per end.
- Note: Each looped end will have a small piece of wire leftover/hanging off, which will need to be clamped with the rope clamps.
- Note: Be sure that the bottom "U" side of the rope clamp is compressing the leftover/hanging end of the coated cable. This will prevent slipping and create a more secure looped end.
