Yup, I saw that movie a few times and was pretty good. He had that pulley with weights he was always yanking on.
I think a simple 2x12x6 will do the trick with two pieces of angle iron screwed to the bottom that will straddle the 2"x2" square bumper on my trailer. I'll buy one of those fold out bases for the other end. The whole thing will be stored on my angle supports under the trailer. I'm not putting any supports for a bench press. I had a private trainer for 2 years and taught me how to do multiple workouts with a bench and barbells. So, I figure I'll back into a spot and leave 6' of room for my bench. Since my trailer is 45' that won't bother anyone leaving that extra room. I have a blanket I'll put down on the ground the same side down. I'll cover the 2x12 with vinyl so a quick spray and wipe with Windex should do the trick.

Weights for working out: $100 Doing exercises in a pee soaked parking lot: Priceless

Someday maybe you'll run into someone like my buddy Jim who spent 2 tours in Vietnam and listen to stories. Piss in your pants for days, never wipe your azz either and all while holding your rifle in one hand. The story that got me the most was when his platoon was out on patrol and cut off for 3 days. No sleep, no food, no nothing. When they finally had a chance to take a break they immediatly went for the food. One of the guys got up, said he couldn't take it and blew his brains out. I asked, what did you do? Jim said nothing, we just kept eating.

That movie sucked in ways nothing should,....and Sly was years into steroid use at that point. Next thing you'll say is that Swayze was awesome in Black Dog :roll:
