House, design, repair, decor. Yard and garden. Do it yourself

Dumbbells It is very expensive. But there is a way out! They can be done do it yourself From ordinary plastic bottles in which you are used to buying mineral water or gas production!

Below is two ways to manufacture dumbbells, for girls and for men.

The first way. (For girls)

The method of manufacturing such dumbbells is simple. You need to take 2 plastic bottles, cut off in two places, cutting a few middle of the bottle (as shown in the figure, click on it to increase). Then glue two parts by a bottle with glue or scotch. In the neck pour sand or small pebbles. Then in the necks of both bottles insert a suitable plug, thereby connecting it from each other, the connection site is tightly rewinded with a tape or scotch. Such dumbbells will serve you for a very long time!

The method of the second. (For men and strong girls)

We have to:

Wooden stick. round cross section, for example, the cuttings from the shovel (you can buy in the store for 30 rubles) or a metal pipe, you can use plastic

8 plastic bottles, volume 1 - 1.5 liter, but if you want, you can take the volume and more.

So, you first need to tightly link the bottles of 4 scotch, or wire. You need to bind very tight! (as in the picture)

How to make a barbell from bottles?
You will need

Empty plastic bottles
Wide Scotch
Cutting from shovel or metal pipe
Wire aluminum
Sand or cement (other building powder)

Before you make a barbell from bottles, you need to take eight empty plastic bottles and fill them with river sand. It is best to suit the sidewged sand. During filling bottles, the sand is recommended. To make the filler put it tightly, you need to periodically beat the bottle of the bottom of the floor. You can also fill the plastic bottles of cement, but in this case the rod is harder.

Now we put the filled bottles together, but so that they do not form a row. We fasten them with a wide stationery scotch. It is necessary to make at least 30 turns so that the elements of the future rod do not hang out and are reliably fastened with each other. Now we take an aluminum wire and make a new fixation. It is necessary to fix the wire in such a way that four turns at the bottom and the neck of the bottles are formed. Thus, two bottled bundles are obtained that will replace pancakes on the rod.

In the center of each bundle there will be holes in which it is necessary to insert a stalk shovel or metal pipe. How the rod from bottles will be fixed, each invents independently. For example, you can consolidate such pancakes with a wire or a tape from both sides so that they do not move along the cutting. It will also be good for a durable cord that will consolidate the bottle bundle.

Naturally, such a rod from the subwoofers will not be able to fully compete with professional sports equipment, which is made by famous manufacturers, but a barbell rod will help to strengthen the figure in the first stages of training. To make a bar of bottles, you may need vessels from one to five liters volume. You can also make cargo of different weights, it is recommended to use bottles of different volumes. It is necessary to determine what weight should be a rod in order to correctly calculate the volumes of bottles.

It should be borne in mind that the weight of one lithon bottle, filled with sand, corresponds to load weighing two kilograms. With the help of simple mathematical computing, you can independently calculate the weight of future pancakes for the rod. Also, you need to do cargo with a lot of weight, because after a week of classes, the Stanthist will not be enough of the initial weight.

Dumbbells from plastic bottles do it easy!

You can not buy expensive simulators and dumbbells, but make them with your own plastic bottles. This will take quite a bit. The source material is practically in every home, and the work is not very difficult with which everyone will cope. The main thing as always is a desire.

So, to make Dumbbells from plastic bottles you will need some material. First of all, there will be plastic bottles. It will depend on the size of the ready-made dumbbells from plastic bottles. But usually choose two-liter bottles.

In addition to bottles, which will be the basis for creating your own dumbbells, it will also be necessary to prepare pure river or building sand, which will be used as a filler for dumbbells from bottles.

For connections structural elements Dumbbells also need a good cork, which is tightly included in the neck of the selected plastic bottles. The denser the cork gets up, the better. By the way, it can be replaced with any other suitable material, for example, a wooden wand of a suitable diameter and size.

In addition, to create your own dumbbells from plastic bottles, you need to prepare an insulating tape, good glue and scissors. Instead of scissors, you can also use a well sharpened, sharp knife.

How to make your own dumbbells from plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are prepared properly. They need to be well to wash, contemplate labels and stickers from them, and then dry thoroughly. After that, start creating blanks.

Dumbbells from plastic bottles consist of mini-bottles that are made from large bottles. To do this, you need to cut the upper part of the selected plastic bottle and its bottom. The height of the cut bottle from the top should be approximately ten or fifteen centimeters, including a plastic bottle neck.

The lower part is cut off so that there is a stock for gluing.

After that, both billets combine with each other and plant a high-quality and strong glue. To give homemade dumbbells from plastic bottles. Additional safety margin, the connection is tightly wrapped with several layers of the tape.

As a result of all these manipulations, a kind of mini plastic bottle should turn out, which is part of the future dumbbell. But to create dumbbells, you need to do two such bottles, so all the same is repeated with another plastic bottle prepared in advance.

After the workpieces are ready, they fall asleep clean river or building sand, which gives the dumbbell weight. Then both "mini-bottles" are connected using a dense traffic jam. The compound is also tightly wrapped with an insulating ribbon to give homemade dumbbells from plastic bottles more strength.

All - dumbbells from plastic bottles are ready and you can proceed directly to the exercises.

Not everyone who wants to play sports have enough time to visit the gym, and home training requires a certain inventory, the cost of which is sufficiently high. Dumbbells are most popular. They are involved almost all exercises. And if you acquire a sports equipment in the near future, it is not planned, should not be abandoned. You can make dumbbells with your own hands from rather cheap materials. To do this, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the instructions on how and what they are doing.

Conventional plastic bottles allow you to make dumbbells with minimal cash costs, to use which you can immediately use. The main thing is to fix the structural elements well so that it does not destroy during training.

For the assembly of one plastic projectile, it will take: 2 bottles, tape or insulating tape, filler.

Step-by-step instructions for the manufacture of dumbbells from plastic bottles:

1. Cut out the middle of the bottles. Bashed the separated elements (upper and lower) by adhesive insulating tape.
2. Filler falls asleep in the tank. If the shell is made of low weight, we use cement with sand. Dumbbells with a larger mass require the addition of metal inclusions, which can be balls from bearings, nails, diverse metal. The choice is completely dependent on the availability of one or another material.
3. When the neck from bottles are filled, the pipe or a stick made of metal or wood is plugged. Cover the place of the compounds with a tape or scotch. Thanks to this manipulation, it turns out a non-slip, soft and quite comfortable handle.

Before starting classes, it is necessary to carefully check all the connections so that the filler does not "lean."

Conventional plastic bottles are suitable not only for collecting dumbbells, but also the rods. This shell weighs much more, therefore the amount of source material increases.

For the assembly of the bar, it will be necessary: \u200b\u200bat least 8 plastic bottles, neck, material for filler, tape or tape.

Instructions for the manufacture of plastic rods:

1. Bottles are filled with a similar way as dumbbells.
2. Select the material for the grid. It is better to take fittings or a pipe that are comfortable lie in your hand.
3. From each end of the grid, there are ready-made cargo from filled plastic bottles and are wrapped with adhesive tape. On each side it turns out four cargo.
4. Check the quality of the attachment. The vulture should not move or form backlash. If the compound is weak, another isolate is wound.
5. Increase the weight of the rod allows laying between cargo from bottles of additional weighting agents in the form of bars and so on.
6. Each additional cargo necessarily wind up the new layer of the isol. You can increase the load to 100 kg.

Focusing in the choice of material is quite difficult. Approximate weight Dumbbells or rods can be calculated based on the data presented:

The weight of a two-liter plastic bottle with various fillers:

• water - 1,997;
• compacted sand - 3,360;
• wet sand - 3,840;
• rubble (latch) - 2,600;
• lead - 22,800.

Mass is given in kilograms.

We collect shells from concrete

Cement base allows you to get heavier dumbbells and rods than using plastic bottles. Pancakes are not only more impressive weight, but also look much more solid. They are cast from a cement mortar in a special form, inside of which is a vulture. The disadvantage of such a design is that the projectile load cannot be adjusted or adjust to anyone else.

To start working with a different weight, you will need to make a new barbell or dumbbells. Utazeliters, in fact, are obtained individually, and quite fragile and "bulk". The last drawback is eliminated by the introduction of glue into the solution. And if classes are not conducted on the principle of paeerlifting, when the projectile is thrown to the floor, then it will last for quite a long time.

The manufacture of concrete dumbbells (rod) will be required: metal pipe with the required length, bolts or screws, cement mortar, PVA, and a form for laying a cargo.

Step-by-step instructions for the manufacture of cement shells:

1. At the ends of the pipe with drills make holes at four sides. Screws screwed into the holes, so that they are most reliably fixed at the ends and formed a peculiar shape of the cross. They become an axle holding cement.
2. The form for pancakes makes a flat bucket from under mayonnaise or paint. You can use another container. The main thing is that the weight was selected as necessary for classes and comes up to the collection of engaged. In a solution for hardness, glue is added or oil paint is introduced.
3. The pipe is placed in a flooded mixture and are waiting for about four days until it fell completely. Repeat the manipulation described in the previous paragraphs for the second side. Produce support. The design is tied up either hang another four days.
4. When the cement fully captures, over the next week, the projectile is soaked at least two times in water so that it scores even greater strength.

Shells, poured into a two-liter form, can weigh about 5 kg. The accurate weight is due to the composition of the mixture involved.

To perform a "farmer's walk", optionally do shells. Enough to take two ordinary canisters and hang on a stick. You can use tires filled with sand or any other filler. Other exercises with a similar design are difficult to perform. They require the use of full dumbbells.

When sports are becoming regular, there is a need to acquire more professional shells or make such metal. They are practically no different from factory. The difference is that the dumbbells made by their own hands will cost much cheaper. From one pipe can be simultaneously made and pan, and pancakes. Best of all of the metal do a set dumbbell.

To make shells, you need to prepare in advance: thin-walled pipehaving a diameter a little more than the griffon in which it is better to take a metal rod, lock locks and leaf steel. Works on the manufacture of dumbbells should be carried out in a plumbing workshop.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. From a metal scrap with a diameter of about 3 cm, approximately 35-40 cm vulture is spawned. In order for the projectile to be conveniently held in hand, about 15 cm are cut from the thin-walled pipe. The resulting segment is put on the neck. Further, if you wish, it can be covered with relief or vulnerable with a tape.
2. Pancakes are cut out autogen of sheet steel. The weight of one disk with a diameter of 18 cm and 1 cm thick is 2 kg. This makes it possible to easily calculate the required number of pancakes to get a mass of 10, 20, 30, 40 kg. The dimensions of the discs also allow you to simply simply change the weight of weighting agents from small to the maximum. Slicing a whole set of pancakes allows you to continuously work with different weights.
3. The next step is made by lock locks. The diameter of the pipe take more than the grid. Rings with a width of 3 cm are cut off from the product. They should move freely around the corpu, but not slipping. In the rings are drilled by one hole with a diameter of at least 1-1.20 cm. They are necessary for screwing the screws, which allows the rings to keep pancakes and cuddle to the neck. The main thing is to take care of the high-quality pressed screw so that there are no backlash.
4. At the last stage, the dumbbells are proceeded. On the neck with a cut of the pipe in the middle are pinched pancakes and secured through locking locks.

The dumbbells made in the described method are not inferior in quality factory, allow you to work with small, and with great weight.

General Tips and recommendations for assembling dumbbells at home

The best without any doubts are metal shells, but they are much more difficult in the manufacture, rather than other designs. It is necessary not to just make discs, but to properly choose the width of pancakes, to perform locking locks according to the calculations. It is not recommended to increase the width, but the diameter of the disks. You can make some heavy and somewhat small pancakes.

So that the dumbbells looked presentable, the details are grinding and stained. This only slightly weights the process of creating and increase the cost of shells, but they will look no worse than the factory, and the price is much smaller. Classes with such inventory will bring more fun, and, consequently, the motivation and the effect of training will increase.

You should not spend time and strength to create dumbbells weighing up to 100 kg. Instructions for the assembly of such structures on the Internet abundantly, but it is better to immediately make a barrel with the calculation of 200-300 kilos to perform a traction. Dumbbells for such loads are not suitable. And if you have a hardware, then with a serious projectile, that is, a barbell.

If such an opportunity is, you can buy a neck with a handle in the store, and pancakes either do yourself or order in the workshop. Qualitatively performed handle contributes to comfortable classes, and homemade pancakes Significantly reduce the total cost of the projectile.

For many people who want to play sports, the issue of visiting the gym is closed due to a lack of time, and its own sports equipment for households is not so cheap.

Despite the simplicity of manufacture, the site of the sporting goods is simply not interested in selling a metal slices.
Moreover, it is not a fact that every dumbbell and even the rod from the bar will suit you on the diameter and shape of the handle, material and other characteristics.
A fully adequate response to such a price policy was the manufacture of personal sports inventory by many craftsmen. For this apply different materials, Methods and designs.
Now we will consider the most common of them so that you can choose and make your own dumbbells or barbell yourself.

Plastic Bottle Dumbbells

Collect dumbbells can be quickly and very cheap due to the use of plastic bottles. Due to the simplicity of the design, it is possible to engage with such dumbbells immediately after their manufacture.
For one dumbbell, we need: plastic bottles of 2 pieces; filler; Insulating tape / scotch.

The middle part of the bottles must be cut, and then reapperate the upper and lower pieces of adhesive tape. Then you need to score the contained filler with the containers. The role of fillers are perfectly suitable sand and cement, but if you need weight more, do not hesitate to add nails, scrap metal, balls from bearings, in general, give fantasies to get roaring. After filling, bottles need to be copped with a neck to the neck, do not spare a scotch or tape . It turns out a very comfortable, soft and non-slip knob. If you have a very wide palm, find some reason under the handle (reinforcement, pipe) and closer around it the bottle, and in the middle wrap more ribbons to compensate the difference of the thickness of the grid and the neck of the bottle. Thus, the homemade ridge will also increase the weight of the dumbbells.

Barbell

The bar herself implies a lot of weight, so the bottles need much more. Such a barbell can also be used immediately after it is ready.
For the rod, you will need: plastic bottles, minimum of 8 pieces; filler; vulture; Scotch / tape.
As a grid, we use a trumpet convenient for hand, fittings. Opt bottle as well as in dumbbells.
Finished cargo we look around both ends of the grid and windscreen. We get four bottles on each side, between which the vulture passes. I reliably take the cargo to the neck so that he does not leave and not formed the backlash. For more impressive weight, we take another cargo and lay it into the intervals between the available bottles, like logs. Each new layer is recommended to wrap up with a new scotch - so you can bring the weight of the rod to 100 kg.

Cement dumbbells

Dumbbells cement based It goes much more hard than bottle. Large and heavy, solid pancakes for dumbbells and rods are obtained from a solution hardened in a certain form with a vulture inside. The main disadvantage of such an inventory is the inability to optimize under constant extension of loads or under another person. That is, if you need a dumbbell with a different weight - you have to do a new one. Also, the disadvantage of cement is often called its fragility and crumbling. To strengthen the mixture, glue (PVA) is added to the solution, and if you do not like, like a Powerlifter, with a victorious cry to throw a barbell on the floor, it is unlikely that it will quickly come into disrepair.
So, we will need: metal pipes suitable length; drill, screws or bolts; cement mortar, PVA glue; Form for cargo.

To begin with, take a pipe and a drill at its ends on four sides drill holes for screws. Screw screws so that they keep on the tips as fast as much as possible and sticking out in the shape of a cross. This is necessary to hold cement. Dale, take the form (flat bucket of paint, mayonnaise or anything. It is important, only the size suggests you by weight), and mix the solution with glue or oil paint For hardness. Insert the pipe into the solution and wait four days before complete drying. Then you need to do the same on the other side. Make a support, tie or hang the design for another four days. After all the drying is needed to soak the dumbbell in the water for a couple of times, so that the cement becomes stronger. It is dependent on the size of cargo and the length of the grid, thus obtain dumbbells and rods.
Of course, for such an exercise, like "Farmer's walk", and two canisters mounted on a stick will be suitable, also drain the metal vulture can be automotive wheels, sand tires and many other. But only such cement dumbbells will allow fully sporting.
On the other hand, they will be useful in the first stages. If your passion for sports goes on, you will understand that it is time to make dumbbells from a metal.

Metal dumbbells

Metal pancakes are the analogues of the factory, but only cost you cheaper. Metal sports shells have plenty of advantages. They can be changed by weight, which makes training more efficiently and eliminates you from a heap of different cement dumbbells and rods. And if you make a vulture for dumbbells and rods from one pipe, you can use the same pancakes that save you time, money and place in the room.
In order to make metal dumbbells, you need much more: a plumbing workshop; Metal rod - future neck; thin-walled pipe with a diameter of a little more than the griff; Sheet steel; Stopper locks.
Creating dumbbells should occur only in the workshop. At first we produce a vulture. The role of the base is excellent scrap is about 3 cm in diameter. We scream from it a neckline with a length of 35-40 cm. Then we take a thin-walled pipe and cut off from it 15 cm. It must be put on the ridge to protect the place for your hand, simply speaking - it will be a pen. After the manufacture of the dumbbells itself it will be possible to wind the tape or cover with relief. Highly cut discs (future pancakes) from sheet steel autogen. Do not doubt their passionism - with a sheet thickness of 1 cm, a diameter of 18 cm will weigh 2 kilograms. Cut on your dumbbell 10 cm on each side - and you will be 40 kg! If you wish, vary the size of the disks to arbitrarily change the weight from the easiest to heavy, with training of different muscle groups. It would be nice to chop the whole set of the type of factory dumbbells so that in the amount of the weight of one dumbbell can reach 25-30 kg - you can hardly need more.

We manufacture lock locks. We find a pipe with a diameter slightly more than our neck and cut off the ring of 3 cm wide from it. It is necessary that they freely go through the neck, but they did not sculp themselves. In each ring, you need to drill on a fairly wide opening (approximately 1-1.2 cm) under the screws. After screwing the screw, the ring will be pressed against the corpus and keep pancakes. Just do not forget to press it close to the discs so as not to be created by the backlash. I am imprisoned to the assembly dumbbells: in the middle there is already a handset from paragraph 1, then hang the discs and fix the lock locks.
Ready!

Recommendations for the manufacture and use of homemade dumbbells

The best definitely are metal dumbbells and rods. But with their manufacture, you need to be as careful as possible so that the width of the discs and the quality of the locks correspond to your calculations. Too wide disks are better not to use - it is better to increase their diameter, or take 2-4 very heavy disks, and the rest are less.
Do not be lazy to clean up and polish every detail of your new dumbbells or rods so that it looks presentable - paint pancakes, as the manufacturers of sporting goods do. As a result, it will cost you anyway cheaper than bought shells, and enjoying classes with such inventors and efforts spent on it will motivate you on regular training, which will definitely benefit you.
The network includes photographs of craftsmen hanging about 100 kg to their dumbbells, demonstrating the quality of manufacture. Do not even think to spend the strength on such triggers, better make a barbell, and suggest that it is 200-300 kg for it for becoming a traction - this is impressive.
Depending on the possibilities, you can buy handles and a neck in the store, and pancakes to do yourself or order in the workshop. Then the high-quality form and convenience of the corporate handle will help better keep grip, and the rest will cost much cheaper.
