lol i love strongman stuff, its the most creative, low key 'redneck', kind of sport out there, with a bunch of mad lads and mad ladies just seeing what they can pick up and put down, hell yea get it boys and girls! ps, my man going hard with the cross cut saw, very nice, may as well get a pump in there too
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 🤞🤞🤞
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🤞🏻
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.
Hey. I just finished doing this build, but the spray foam on the threaded rod utterly failed. Curious to figure out what I did wrong. The pvc pipes weren’t on hard at all, and they pulled right off after 8 hours, and it’s wet inside, and it’s almost as if the foam just became a liquid. Thoughts?
🤔 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
Great job. Functional and it doesn’t look like an eyesore.
Thank you so much. This looks like a great project to try!
Very nice job mate
That is cool af.
This is very cool!

Very cool man, thanks!
If I make this would I be able to make it where I adjust the height of the middle bar do yoke carry as well as zercher carry

some precision dovetails there mate. with the price of lumber here in the States, might as well buy a Rogue one lol. beautiful work though!

@@robinwilliamson95 totally! makes it more personal that's for sure.
Why not make the mess outside rather than in the gym haha? Nice build
🔥🔥🔥
Bad ass. What was the bar that you used?
