I've seen pictures of weight trees/stands that are made of 2x4's layed flat with 2x4's sticking up to separate. Can someone please link me, i've searched for the past day or so.

I wouldnt trust wood for holding all you weight. just buy one in my opinion. My one "branch" of my weight tree holds over 10 45 lb plates. I wouldnt trust that with wood.

I use my 21st digit as a branch for extra plates laying around.

They call it pumping iron and pushing steel.
Pulling wood is on a different website.

No *******s, it lays flat. Tons of people use them. If you would have read and got your damn head out of your ass you would understand.
Yes mad.

But it's an easy fit with standard plates, am I right.

Since you love wood so much here are some pics. Let me know if you have any questions or want ideas on how to build one.

And think of all the racks, plates, bars, and benches you could make with this!

With the extra limbs of the tree you could carve up some chains.

Thanks for the pics, that's how I built mine. I don't think I could make that much out of that tree, it's not real.

No, Im just joking around bro.
You can search on the CrossFit forums I recall someone built a holder with some plastic tubing too, I checked for some more pics but couldnt find them.
CrossFit has a "similar post" feature at the bottom and it will link to other home made plate trees or plate holders.
