For all sorts of exercises is very important goodbarbell rack: for squats with weight, bench press, bench sitting, lifting socks, holding weights and so on. For those who do not like to engage in sports halls, it becomes problematic to perform all sorts of exercises. The main problem is the barbell rack. It is this projectile that is often not enough to conduct effective home workouts. But if this is so important, then why not make it yourself with your own hands.
Why do you need to do the rack yourself, if inonline stores or sports shops you can find a decent rack, which will be of high quality and practical? First of all, a barbell stand, made by hand, will cost three, or even four times cheaper than the store. All that is needed for it is to have all the tools and be able to use them.
Secondly, your own stand will be suitable for all personal parameters. There is nothing superfluous in it, and the design can be suitable for any conditions of your own apartment.
Safety first!This is what must be remembered when operating the welding machine, drill and everything else. The design must first be reliable, in which case it would withstand a huge load. The rack should not have sharp corners, for which you can catch and fill up something. It is better to think everything over so that you do not need to correct it later.
So, the decision is made - stand for the rod will behomemade. Before starting work you need to think carefully. For greater accuracy, it is best to make a drawing. Rod stand must be proportionate. Bearing structures must withstand all the weight, for this it is necessary to calculate everything and apply to the drawing. In addition, the drawing will help not to buy too much. Since the eye is usually bought materials with a margin, and this is all the money. What is important for a homemade rack - low price. So it is better to first make a plan in which the future stand should be described.
The rack should be practical and compact tosuitable for "harsh" living space conditions. That is why the described projectile has so many accessories and amenities. The secret is that the rack simultaneously serves as parallel bars. All this should be folded, adjusted in length and height. It is thanks to these features that an ordinary barbell rack turns into a multi-functional simulator.
It is necessary to make a lot of effort to getbarbell rack. It is necessary to potter a lot with the bench, therefore this design does not include the presence of a special bench. In extreme cases, you can buy it at any specialty store. By the way, this will be a good solution, since for sure the purchased lounger will be equipped with devices for pumping the press. Bench and stand for the rod will take up a lot of space, so they are best collected separately.
You need not so many materials for the rack.All the same, it will turn out cheaper than in the store. So, to work in the first place, you will need two types of square shaped tube (types of rolled metal). In order to change the height and width of the rack itself, it is necessary to shove one pipe into another, therefore one should be smaller than the other. The mechanism is simple: another tube sticks out from one pipe, and its position can be adjusted, thereby lowering or raising the level of the rod.
That the design withstood the entire load,a profile pipe of one type 40 by 40 millimeters and 2 millimeters in cross section will suffice. Its length is 5 meters. The second (retractable tube) should be 30 to 30 millimeters, in cross section of 2 millimeters and a length of 3 meters.
Also important is the neck holder. It will require two 6-mm sheets of steel 50 to 200 millimeters.
To make the bars, you need a small pipe measuring 30 centimeters. Since there will be two pens, it is best to take two pipes of 15 centimeters.
Понадобится еще парочка болтов (выступают в роли regulator itself). They should not be too thin, otherwise under a large weight they just have a snack. The most optimal thickness of such bolts is 8 millimeters. Since the whole structure is made of metal, it will seriously scratch the floor and boom. To bring less damage to the apartment and not interfere with the neighbors, it is necessary to stock up on rubber supports. These are pieces of rubber 5 millimeters thick. Such a device makes the whole structure more stable and, therefore, reliable.
На основание идет почти вся нагрузка.It must be very strong and stable. It should also be collapsible so that it takes up less space in the apartment. So, we proceed to making the base of the future stand. The first thing you need to cut the metal profile on the desired length of the bars. The base is the part into which a smaller (30 by 30) profile will be pushed, which will hold the barbell. It will look like a capital letter "T".
First you need to prepare all the tools.The base will need two bars with a length of 700 and 300 millimeters. For this we need a thicker profile (40 to 40). Two bars need to be welded with the same letter "T" so that there is 15 centimeters from the middle of the longer one in both directions. It is this design that will provide maximum stability. A hole for the bolt is drilled in a 30-centimeter bar - it will adjust the width.
It should be noted the middle of the letter "T".It is there that the next bar with a length of 850 millimeters should be welded. From this bar will leave the other, which will lie on the neck. But under a large load, the bar can bend, so from the bottom to the middle of the rack you need to weld an additional bar 550 millimeters long. It will serve as an additional support. It is welded at an angle so that it connects the vertical and horizontal bar. At the end of the vertical you need to make a bolt hole. It should be no less than the diameter of the bolt itself.
By the same principle produced a similar design.
Before welding, you need to bend sheets of steel so thatso they look like a hook. "Hooks" are welded to the bars (30 to 30) with a length of 900 mm. It turns out 2 long bars with a hook at the end. Behind the hook, the pipe joints are welded - future bars. The same is done with a different profile.
A hole with a bolt diameter is drilled every 5 cm. Thanks to these holes stand for the rod can adjust its height.
Height can already be adjusted, and how to changewidth? For this you need a profile (30 to 30) with a length of 1100 millimeters. It also drilled holes with center-to-center value of 5 centimeters. His place is in a larger profile (40 to 40), namely in the small bar of the base of the letter "T". Leaving the base, he can adjust the width of the rack or bars.
