going to make my pull up bar thicker

[salboski]

do i need to use pvc pipe or something else and also how to make it stay on there

If you want to make it thicker for added grip strengthening, wrap a towel around it.

 

[MonkeyonRoids]

Or do towel chinups.

 

[graedy]

Towelchinups are very tough for your grip.

I've used duct tape to thicken my dumbells in the past.

+ 1 for the towel

it is killer

Or you could keep your bar the same, and buy an 1 1/2 galvanized pipe. It's sturdy as shit, and it fits olympic plates damn near to perfect.

 

[Urban]

why would you want to put oly plates on a pullup bar?

But you're right, just buy a 2" galvanized pipe and find a way to attach it to your ceiling or exising pullup bar. Hang it, or buy some more pipe fittings to screw it to a truss, or something.

 

[cockysprinter]

maybe he meant you can make a thickbar out of it?
