going to make my pull up bar thicker

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.

 

Or do towel chinups.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

Ha, in the future I'll start reading the whole thread...anyways, yea thats what I meant Cocky.
