How to Construct a Weightlifting Bench
- 1). Measure from the top of your head to just below your buttocks.
- 2). Cut the 5 1/2-by-1 1/2 inch boards to the length from Step One.
- 3). Lay the boards next to each other and screw a two-by-four into the middle of the boards using four screws.
- 4). With the board upside down, stand four two-by-fours at the ends of the board to form legs. There is two on each end.
- 5). Use the remaining two two-by-fours next to the legs to help stabilize the legs. These should be screwed into the top of the legs and the bench with one on each end.
