I've come across some great home-made gym gear over the past few years (check out DIY : Home-made gym equipment I and II), as well as having a go at creating my own. However, I'm always on the lookout for more; and this is where you come in.

Competition

Construct something for use in your workouts. It doesn't matter whether it's a sandbag, a squat rack or a full-blown all-in-one machine. The only constraint is that is has to be constructed between now and May 30 2007. No old stuff, please.

To submit it, either :

• post a photo of it (preferably in use) on your blog and leave a comment here to point to it.

or

• send me (scott AT straighttothebar DOT com) a photo and a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is. I'll post it up here.

Prizes

The prize list includes some great stuff from the guys over at the Diesel Crew (including a t-shirt and their superb ebooks); as well as a couple of mystery items from Straight to the Bar. More details over the next few weeks.

Judging

The judging will be done by you, the reader (via a poll). In the case of a tie, I'll cast the deciding vote.

Finally

The most important part of this exercise is to enjoy the equipment you've just built. Have fun.

Dance Dance Revolution? A Wii perhaps? How about the MX9 Workout Master.

Or a couple of kettlebells. Preferably outdoors.
