Home-made Squat stand, extra large, for Total Gym (normally costs $99)

 

 looks like the metal tubes were screwed INTO? I would use U-bolts... to go around the tubes...

My only complaint is that the “large” oval squat stand isn’t really large. My toes hang off the edge. Go ahead and invest in another.

 Yeah the version I ordered has NO Squat stand.

Thé foot board for squats was too small; had to purchase the larger one, which was $80.

The footboard is small despite the shape and is not large enough to perform traditional squats. (only squats on the ball of your foot and heel squats)

  Total gym does offer an extra large squat board that is available on their website for $100 more. It is definitely worth it to purchase the larger squat board. I have absolutely no idea why Total gym doesn't just offer that in the box when you purchase their gyms. The shorter squat board really only works for a few exercises and you cannot do a complete squat. You should also be aware that there is another extra large squat board that is advertised on Amazon but, in my opinion it should not be used with this gym. It does not Mount properly in the two holes for the metal columns. The mountain columns need to be at least 2 in to 3 in longer at the columns base to make it mount safely. It is better to avoid that squat board for safety reasons
