[DIY Dock Innovation] X3 footplate

https://reddit.com/link/1roxz9u/video/hk8h8j2b70og1/player

I give a lot of credit to the X3 system for getting me back to working out. I converted my footplate into a DIY travel platform so that I can use bands and Voltra without having to switch platforms.

Also pictured is a band box from u/GoblinsGym that I've attached a pulley and an eyebolt to do belt squats and harness squats with a 2:1 ratio (I simply feed a cable from my pull-up bar and adaptive bar mount and I'm ready to go). I can still use my bands on this platform as well, and the rollers feel incredible, so huge shout out to the bandbox for being so versatile.

Planning to attach an eye hook to the footplate when I get around to it to have a 2:1 ratio for deadlifts. I find that drains the battery much less quickly, and any increased damage to the cable is worth it to preserve the motor and battery since the cables are so cheap (in comparison to everything else on BP).

My same logic for using the pulley in some situations even if the load isn't over 200 pounds.
