Can I use black pipe sections screwed together to make a captain's for a home gym to build abs and do bar dips? It seems like they come in the right lenghts and angles with t-sections and such, and faily inexpensive. I was thinking maybe PVC but is may not be sterdy enough.

Yeah sure, just make sure the pipes can actually hold your weight without bending
>>2962913>just make sure the pipes can actually hold your weightThat is my question, is there some general rule or chart for black pipe about its mechanical characteristics, or is it of such shit quality that its only good for waste water?
>>2962467Use aluminium extrusion or weld something up if you're not a bitch. PVC pipes are pipes not beams, they're made to transport liquids not support any sort of lateral load.
>>2962974>if you're not a bitch...weld'n is out of muh league sir, no space nor welders. Maybe in the future.
Can I get abs like this using a captain's chair made out of black pipe, or is schedule 40 PVC strong enough?
>>2962957https://www.alvinindustrial.com/info/info_02.htmbuy some cheap pipe wrenches and use a little pipe dope to prevent threads from galling as you spin it together. I wouldnt use anything under 1 1/4" for the structure and you can get reducing fittings to make handles. and make sure you cover up threads and inspect for burs on the pipe anywhere you make contact, they hurt.gl gymbro, spinnin pipe is really fun
>>2962467Black pipe is probably strong enough, definitely if you engineer it a little. You're going to be u clamping anyway so just reinforce if you're fat enough it's needed.

That's a man.
>>2964747>herThat's also a dude
>>2964747>there is nothing attractive about herits ok to be a chubby chaser, no one laughs at you.
>>2964747The dedication to exercise and diet to maintain a low enough BF% to keep visible abs is pretty attractive.
