Making a deadlift block

[csuperman]

well i think after researching on blocks to deadlift off of as i dont like rack pulls, i will be making my own. They are just way overpriced wanting $90 for one side of plastic.

So, i am going to go buy a 6"x6" post and cut it into 1.5ft sections and bolt them together, i figure that should serve as a decent platform and remove 6" off my pull.

any other ideas?

yea but i want to cut of 6" of the rep hence 6x6, essential thats what i am doing but i am bolting the two boards together so they do not come apart at all or duct tape (lol).

That a good idea using 6x6 post and cutting them down. I may have to do this myself as well.

yea you can get an 8ft section from home depot for something in the $20 range, so you have them cut you 4 - 20" pieces (2 for each side) or you could just go with 4-2ft sections

well this is on hold till i can borrow a chainsaw, they cant cut a 6x6 at the home depot or lowes since they installed safety features on their equipment.
