Home-made device horizontal bar, bars and for the press

A healthy lifestyle requires constant exercise. You can keep fit in the gym, running through the alleys of the park every morning. But you can use a special simulator, which is equipped with one of the rooms of the apartment, at home. The latter allows you not to waste time on the road to the gym, to have an effective sports equipment at hand.

There are many similar shells in sports stores today. They differ in manufacturers, versatility, cost. It is not difficult to make a shell yourself, and one that can be used as a horizontal bar, bars, to swing the press.

For the manufacture of a universal sports equipment you will need: a profile pipe with a cross section of 30x20 mm with 2 mm walls (7 meters); pipe diameters three quarters of an inch (1.5); plywood, foam rubber, leatherette. Especially you need to stock up on grips with grips.

The manufacture of the projectile begins with the framework by which it will be mounted on the wall using eight anchors. On it, hooks are arranged, to which the horizontal bar is attached.

The frame is made rectangular, from pieces of a profile pipe, welded at the corners. In this case, the pipe sections are placed large in the plane of the frame. The fixing holes for the anchor are arranged: two - in the upper bar (less than the length of the side) with a quarter of the distance from the edges; three in each sidewall - in the upper, middle and lower parts.

In the upper part of the sidewalls, from the outside, and in their middle part, the brackets protruding above the outer surface of the frame are tripled. Slots are arranged in them for fixing in different positions of the removable part of the projectile.

The latter is based on a narrow rectangular frame welded from the same profile pipe: the size on the large sides allows it to be placed between the upper brackets on the support frame.

Pieces of pipe are welded to the bottom, coaxially on the sides, the lower ends of which do not extend beyond the wall support frame. Above the latter, for a length slightly exceeding the size of the flu, are placed, perpendicular to the main, short pieces of pipes under the handles.

In the upper part of the narrow frame, perpendicular to its lateral sides, consoles are welded from pieces of a profile pipe half the height of the supporting frame. For rigidity, they are strengthened by braces welded to the sides of the latter.

At the free ends of the consoles there is a transverse horizontal bar made of a round pipe, the handles of which protrude to the sides.

After all the elements of the shell are cleaned, sanded and painted with white paint. Grips are put on hands.

The support frame with eight anchors is attached to the wall at the desired height. The removable device is suspended by a narrow frame on the upper brackets. In its upper part is a horizontal bar in working position. If it is suspended by the horizontal bar pipe to the lower brackets, then the bars protruding from the wall are obtained. Leaning on them with elbows and grabbing the hands present at the ends of the bars of the arms, they take a position for the press to swing.

In places of support of the elbows on the uneven bars, in the lower part of the narrow frame, they are lining their foam rubber, covered with imitation leather.
