Olympic bar repurposed

Recommended Posts

I got this olympic bar a while back in a trade. The collars were broken but it is solid steel so I knew I could make something out of it.....

The knurling is perfect for a chinup bar. My old one was a piece of galvanized pipe.... lame.

After a little working it's now a functional tool.

With some bonus features.

Hopefully my stupid shoulder will let me get back into full range pullups again.

Looks great, does the paint mess with the knurling or is it still grippy enough?

It is still grippy. I painted right after welding it - when it was still like 500 degrees.
