PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION FOR MATERIAL LIST AND FURTHER ASSEMBLY ADVICE

Material List:

All pipes, joints and connectors I used have 1,25 inches diameter.

For the T-Bar

One plumbing pipe: 10 inches long (to hold the plates)
Two fitting T-connectors
Two plumbing pipes 5 inches long (for the handles)

Cost: 15 Euro

For the Kettlebell Rig:

Two plumbing pipes 10 inches long
Two plumbing pipes 8 inches long
Four fitting elbow joints

Cost 16 Euro

Total Cost: 32 Euro and three hours including the drive to the hardware store

Dumbbell plates as needed

MY measures are rough estimates. I live in Europe and we use centimeters and no imperial units. So I did my best to convert it.

THE list is meant as a suggestion. I actually went in the hardware store equipped with a barbell plate and assembled both contraptions right in the store to see how everything fits. If possible I suggest the same. If the rattling of the plates disturbs you get some clamps to fixate the plates in place.

  • @bright5086200 Tell ya what: You introduce my voice to Hollywood, and if they cast me you get five percent after tax on my first three gigues.

    Sadly though in real life much of the voice comes from an empty room.

    take care

  • WOW! Just.....WOW O_O! I'm already amazed by a lot of DIY stuff, & just when I was thinking that there's nothing more for DIY (excluding science projects AND conventions), Rick shared me this. Man, this is awesome =D! Definitely a fave!

  • Please note: standard weights in the US have 2 holes sizes. Make sure your weights and your pipe match in size.

  • @blacksilkblacksilk Thanks!!! You´ve given me great ideas!!!! If I make my own, I´ll try to post them as well.... Thanks again!

  • If you put a square frame on top of the T-shape bar, then you should have 2 in 1. By the way, Tim Ferriss uses this exact t-bar setup in his book "The Four Hour Body".

  • @blacksilkblacksilk damn. If that ever did happen man..lol

  • Superb as always! and thanks for helping us parry the high price of the kettlebell

    As always I raise my Glass high to you!

  • Excellent video! I have to try this! Thank you!
