Are u still alive?

Muy bonito

sick. do some pulls with em

Ten years later and your video is useful to me, buddy! Thank you!!!

Niceee

Era só ter deixado o tubo no centro da anilha. Foi tirar para quê???

I need to make one myself, but I’m wondering if just doing Romanian deadlifts with medium intensity and higher reps would be good enough. Do I really need to deadlift 400 plus pounds?

Superb bro

Fucking awesome thanks

Did you notice some changes in your voice from neck training (lower range, increased resonance) ?

You should tap on the bottom to avoid air bubbles.

You seem like a very nice fellow.

HOPEFULLY others bought 11 inchs for 35 lbs and 9/8 inch for 25's Dont forgot 1/2 gallon( 4.17 lbs ) of water per 40 lbs of cement max

Imagine taking them to the gym lmao also as soon as your hands start sweating while working out they would slip right out of your hands so if you were doing an over head press and the bar slips out your hands your pretty much fucked , very creative though I will give him that.

thanks for the video.But why didn't you just leave the pvc on the weight and cut off anything extra?

cool idea, brilliant, where did you get the threaded rod ? what diameter ? thanks

U fucking genius

Amigo Porque você tirou o cano deixasse lá de proteção pensa né

a better way is rubber sheets

For those people stuck indoors with no access to a gym because of the 'Coronis this makes for an amazing substitute!

11:54 is what I do to my neighbours wife

Muy bueno... Lo acabo de implementar en mi polea casera y me va de maravilla... Muchas gracias por el aporte

Some tips: -Use synthetic fiber in your mix to prevent cracking, or put layers of fine welded wire mesh. -Don't put off the tubing, it as the perfect size that fit your barbell, and stick into it some long steel screws. -Glue a rubber type band around your plate to absorb impacts. -use a plastifier coating. Best of all: get a cake mold with a tinned hinge, trust me. Now you have plates than can handle hard training and can last almost forever.

idiot

This is ingeniously simple! Cheers for that!

Great DIY video. We sell premade tent weights.

1:58 oh 😲

I’ve heard of people using plasti-dip spray coating to “seal” it too. Also you can get emblems/logos and put in/on the weight before sealing to give a really custom look. Or spray paint a template over the plasti dip after dry. Good work my friend!

thank you freaking awesome idea Bro.....

You could put the end link of the chain through the hole in a plate, get a quick link that's too big to go through the hole in the plate, and connect it to the end link on the other side of the plate.

How heavy is it 10 kg 15kg ?

You are kind of ruining the bar by rubing the metal

Coat them cement lights in Flex Seal a spray-on rubber compound

Was that that a wooden squat rack in the background

👍

would u think the time u spent doing it + materials ,u could of just worked some over time and earnt the money to buy used ebay plates ?

Thank you so much. Very inventive

Why not just cut the pvc pipe shorter and leave it inside the weight? That way you don't have to mess with the tape at all. Some industrial glue would hold the piece inside the hole, then you never have to worry about the concrete messing up your bar...

shout out you bruh!!

He really emphisizes the "t" in duct tape

Smart

you get an A for effort, but obviously you don't work with your hands often. You can make a much wetter mix, pour it over a suspended wire mesh for reinforcement or it WILL CRACK, insert and inner tube instead of that silly duct tape ( took longer than your drying time ), spay or paint to seal the plate. or.... just save some money for real plates. You could have bought an entire Olympic set if you worked the time instead of messing up your mother's basement. Better yet, join Planet Fitness for $10 a month. God damn it.

Anybody know a good way to coat them? I want to use them for deadlifts as well as just make them a bit more durable.

dude what a fuckin waste of duck tape lmao i just finished one handle and it took one and a half roll.... it took me 2 hours

what is wrong with your voice

this is good but dude duct tapes aren't cheap ;/

Not a word was spelled in these comments

Thank you for this vid....believe it or not I'm going to use this idea to make weights for the fabric backdrop at my daughter's wedding. I've been searching all over YT for ideas and yours I think has struck gold. I plan to make the weights not so wide but with a permanent pvc pipe in it just tall enough to then couple it later (during the setup for the wedding) to a taller pvc pipe. Then with the elbow joints create the rest of the frame to hang fabric from. I really have to thank you because I was looking at spending over $150 to buy base weights....and this DIY'er wasn't having that. I'll probably spray paint them, too. And probably sell them afterwards as umbrella stands, lol. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out and if you want pics I'll send those later, too.

You could mount strong steel hooks on your bar, and hang a sturdy canvas bag from each hook. Create pre-weight smaller bags of sand or rocks or scrap metal or whatever to go in the sturdy bag.
