Farmer's Walk Bars
After checking out this article, please see the revised version here.
I made the two farmer's walk bars using the same basic technique used in making my thick bars. I suggest you check out that article first, because I will not repeat the basic information. I used 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe to make the bars. The PVC portion of the bar is 20 inches. It has a diameter of just under 1 3/4 inches. I chose this size because a wanted more of an overall body workout.
The only real problem I experience was getting the cement into the pipe. There was very little opening between the PVC and the steel. I tried to use a funnel, but it repeatedly clogged. I ended up folding a piece of paper in two and using that to slowly funnel the cement in. It was a slow process, but worth the wait. My total cost was next to nothing. I already had the supplies.
Happy Lifting!!
