egg_uk Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Been trying to find thick barbells in the uk and not sure where i can find them, ive seen the thick dumbells that stan pike makes on intensefitness, and may get some of those made, through a friend of a friend. but i dont think their equipment would be able to make a barbell in that fashion, so i would probably buy one. ive seen the ideas of how to make thickbars buying welding a bigger bar over a smaller bar, but have not really looked at where to get the stuff for that. thanks for any help, hope its not been covered before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Get a scaffold bar and put some collars on. Well cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Betty Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 http://www.strongmanequipment.co.uk/ Tom will make you almost anything you need. He has made 90% of all the strongman stuff that i have in fact the picture of the conans on the font page of Tom's site is mine. He was doing 2" thick bars for around £45 but don't quote me on that.
