Yeah, for sure! I’ve already put another couple of holes in the uprights so my shorter friends can also use it and it’s had 400kg loaded on it without any issues… so far 🤞🤞🤞

Cheers dude 🙌

😂😂😂

It’s 45kg / 100lbs empty 👍

Thanks man 👍 simple answer is… you’re absolutely right, it’s probably not perfectly balanced, plus it’s not possible to know if I removed exactly the same amount of material for the hand pockets. But because it was a telegraph pole it was milled really evenly and I measured really carefully, so it feels pretty evenly balanced in the hands. Still going strong though, you should give it a shot, great Saturday project. Thanks for watching 💪🏻

@@robinwilliamson95 Thanks for the answer! I will consider my options, I thought about using a tree that has to be cut down anyways, but since that will not be already milled, I think I'd have a really hard time balancing it well...

🤔 No idea my friend, sounds like there was maybe something wrong with the expanding foam? I use mine regularly and I chuck it about, I’ve not had any problems so far. The expanding foam I used was, I suppose, what you’d call a “premium brand”, and it’s held up ok. Hope you manage to get it sorted.

@@robinwilliamson95 did you put the pvc on the rods, in position, then spray the foam down? That’s what the video looks like. I was worried that the foam may not reach the bottom because the tube it comes with isn’t that long, so I sprayed foam inside first, then put it over

The first way you mentioned, I put the pvc pipe over the rods so they were sitting in what would be the finished position, then I sprayed the foam into the gap. The expanding foam I used had a long nozzle that unfolds so i was able to reach right down into the gap between rod and pipe.

@@robinwilliamson95 Hmmm. I tried again with a new can of foam, it definitely filled just fine, but once again there's no airflow for the foam in the pipe, so it collapses in on itself because foam needs the airflow, so I'm not sure how it worked for you. I'm sure I'll find a different way to make load the plates. Thanks

Hope you get it sorted, let me know how it turns out 👍

It’s called Anchor Bond. I’m in the UK so depending on where you are in world that specific product may or may not be available, but it’s just a cheap polyester resin mortar that designed for attaching metal in to masonry, I’m sure there will be something similar wherever you are.

Hey. That’s a difficult question to answer... but I’ll try. I periodise my training, so sometimes it’s heavy (3x3), sometimes it’s light (3x12) sometimes it’s heavy singles, sometimes I work my lifts in to giant sets to get more conditioning work done. Basically, I like to change it up every 2 or three months to keep it interesting so I don’t get bored.

Haha, thanks. I’m in Scotland and it’s the same story here too, timber prices sky high. I like a project though, more satisfying, and it hasn’t broken…. yet🤞🏻

@@robinwilliamson95 totally! makes it more personal that's for sure.

Thanks 👍 it’s a 5ft axle bar made by a company called Mirafit (I’m in the UK) but any barbell should do the trick, I have little space so the narrower the yoke the better.

@@robinwilliamson95 Cool, thank you.

I tried, but for some reason they didn’t believe me 🤔😂

No, as long as you don’t over inflate the ball it’ll hold it’s shape. The duct tape stops it from collapsing. I tried it before with a ball that I over inflated and it did exactly what you thought would happen, it shrank and shrivelled and didn’t work. Put enough air in it to just inflate it, but without stretching it 👍

😂

Surely not, I'm not a strong man but I can lift a 50kg boulder with a lot of huffing and puffin. This guy looks way stronger than that. But it AIN'T 502KG!

😂

Thanks 🙏 No not preparing for any competition, just like making stupid video’s 😛

@@robinwilliamson95 Just competing with yourself, the best path for this sport IMO
