Thanks mate!

Great idea! Those would definitely add an additional stability to the bench. Mortise and tenon joints might be more advanced for some, but the Simpson strong ties definitely work for all experience levels.

I used non-pressure treated lumber because it was slightly cheaper. However, if you need to put your gym setup outside then it would withstand the elements if it is pressure treated. Just personal choice and if you plan to use it outside or not.

You are completely right! Thanks for mentioning that, I will try to make that change in the instructions
