Very interesting Kyle. You sold me on the strength of the pipe as this isn’t supposed to be a heavy exercise anyway. I was skeptical at first. Nice job.

@KaizenDIYGym 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I was honestly skeptical too. I figured I’d probably break it with the 300 pounds overnight. For me, pressing anything over 150 pounds was pretty difficult so I don’t think weight capacity will ever be an issue.

If you want to make it stronger/stiffer I'd think putting some of those fiberglass driveway markers inside would still let it wobble while keeping it from bending so much. ZNA Productions used some in a DIY crossbow to stiffen some much smaller diameter PVC pipe. I've never seen any 80" long ones, but if you can cut the standard 4' ones to different lengths so that they overlap each other inside the inner PVC pipe and pack it with as many as possible, taping around the bundle of rods at several points, it might work.

@KaizenDIYGym 2 жыл бұрын

That’s excellent, thanks for the suggestion. It was hard to re-rack with the heavy weights due to the bend.

A collar fits perfectly on the 1.25 end cap if you want a little more peace of mind that the bands won’t slip off.

Looks good, 180ish would be the max I’d try if using the j-cups because the arch of the pvc would cause difficulty in re-racking the bar. I’d trust it to go to 200lbs if doing a pin press

@KaizenDIYGym 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it definitely got to be a challenge to re-rack as the weights got heavier. We lowered the jcups for the heavy sets and it helped. I’ll probably stick with the 140-170 pound range when using this.

I’ve only heard stories of other people doing this, no personal experience to speak of. I’ll be doing a follow up video comparing the pvc version to the actual Earthquake Bar from Bandbell. I’ll try to include that info as well.

Hi Kyle just wondering if u can do a dumbell holder for a rack like the titan fitness but they only have one for 2x2 rack. I have a marcy rack 3x3 with 1 inch hole in the front but no side hole. Thanks I'm a newbie in DIY all ur videos are awesome.
