My new box for box squats.

Since I am home for Christmas break, I decided to be productive and build a box to use for box squats and such. However, I decided to make it a little fancier than the normal 2x4/plywood boxes. Here are some pics:

It weighs apprrox. 22 lbs, and is adjustable from approx. 13"-18". The top is 18"x18".

Once I figure out how much the materials cost, I might consider making these and selling them, if there is interest

Love it!!!! And it is multipurpose, since you are in college, it can be used as an end table

Just cover it with a cloth and you'll have a coffee table for when the guests are over.

Good work!

The screw-in feet are rated to hold approx. 1200 lbs, and the things they screw into will hold approx. 2000 lbs. They are not your average, run of the mill, screw-in feet. They are are made to support exremely large machines. Im not worried at all. They will hold.

Thats a pretty cool idea. Now, if you could just make one with hydraulics

Damn. I made mine out of 2 x 4's, screws, and elephant snot (liquid nails). It weighs about thirty pounds. I thought mine was cool, but shit yours is welded and adjustable. Cool box zack.
