Ben, that is a really neat log. What is the weight without any additional weights add to it? Good luck with your goal. 300# press is a nice accomplishment.

When I first screwed it together it weighted 185 pounds because it was really wet green treated 4X4s. Then after it dried out and I added the rope it weighed 128 pounds. The brackets for adding plates weigh 12 pounds so it now weights 140 pounds before adding plates. So far I have only had one heavy day and I added 30 pounds and done 13 total repetitions. Should do better this Saturday.
