From plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are practically in every home. With their help, when using the simplest weightlifier, you can create functional dumbbells for beginner athletes.
For the assembly will be useful:

• 2 plastic bottles 2 l
• Insulating tape
• Weight - sand or water
• Scissors

Process of creation:

1. The neck and bottom of the bottle are cut off, separated the middle part. The carved elements are fastened with glue, and on top of the wound several layers of the isol. It is necessary that in the future filler did not sit out and "damn" the dumbbells did not fall apart.
2. This container through the neck is poured or falling asleep. For small weights suitable cement mixed with sand in equal parts. If dumbbells need to be done heavier, then part of the weighting agent is replaced with metal parts - washers, bearings and other metal parts that will break into the hole in the bottle.
3. When "pancakes" is filled, insert a segment of a plastic pipe or a stick into the neck, long enough to keep it comfortably for it. The location of the connection is first sealed to eliminate the possibility of filler to be filled, and after wound with a tape. The handle is also wrapped with a tape so that it does not slide in his hand. Comfortable low weight dumbbells are obtained for training.

In many ways, the weight of the resulting dumbbells depends on the filler. For example, a two-liter bank can weigh a different number of kilograms:

• With water up to 2 kg
• With sand and cement - 3.500
• With hydrated sand - 3.800
• With sandstone - 2.500
• With lead filler - 22. 900

Dumbbells from concrete

When creating plastic dumbbells, their limit will be limited to the reliability of the tape and glue, therefore, will not be high. Heavier dumbbells, which are also solid and frightening, can be obtained from concrete. Their only minus will be fixed weight - it will limit the possibilities of using them.
To create you will need:

• Bolts.
• PVA-GLEY
• 2 metal segment of the desired length
• Cement mortar
• Forms for casting

Process of creation:

1. The pipe is drilled from four sides by a drill. Screws insert into the resulting holes, extremely firmly fixing them at the ends and forming them the cross. This is the core on which cement will hold.
2. As a form, they pick up the can from under mayonnaise or paints. The most important thing that the selected volume gave the weight, which is necessary to be engaged in it. The form in 2 liters is able to give as a result of "pancakes" weighing 5 kg. The cement is then bred and glue or paint can be added to it. It is necessary that the projectile can stand it on the floor during exercise to failure.
3. The mixture is placed and secured in such a way that it is exactly in the middle. Then leave it for 24 hours. Or more so that the solution grabbing. Then the same is done with the second side. While the solution is settled, prepare the support and the resulting dumbbells hang or put on support for 4 days.
   Then the projectile is about a pair of times soaked in water to increase weight.

Metal dumbbells

With frequent training, instead of fixed weight dumbbells, others are needed, those on which you can pick up weight or subscribe to it as needed. That is why the metal dumbbells create. They look like factory, only much cheaper and more convenient, since all the details are selected for the individual preferences of an athlete.
To create you will need:

• Metal rod for griff
• Metal pipe smaller diameter than vulture
• Sheet steel
• Stopper castles

Process of creation:

1. In order for the handle of the dumbbells is convenient, it should be wider than 5-10 cm. For this, from a metal rod with a radius of 1.5 cm is cut off a neck long in 30 or so centimeters. Then cut off the pipe long 15 cm. It is put on the neck as a handle. In the future, it will be wrapped with a tape or make a relief so that the hand does not slide.
2. With the help of autogen of a piece of sheet steel, circles cut out - future pancakes. One such damn with a radius of 9 cm and a centimeter thick weighs about 2 kg. This contributes to the correct calculation of the desired number of pancakes, which are also cut from the same piece of steel. Relatively compact sizes of pancakes make it easier to increase their number on the grief.
3. So that the pancakes do not slide on the neck to the handle make stoppers. To do this, from the pipe with less than in the grid, the ring in 3 cm wide is cut with a diameter. They are drilled along a hole with a diameter into a centimeter. Through them screw the screws that fit these rings to the vulture. It is important that they are secured as reliable as possible. In some cases, stoppers are welded at the handle itself, and the outdoor leaves free.

It remains to collect dumbbells. To do this, pancakes are put on the neck and outside clapped with stoppers so that they do not sculp.

Sporting shells made with their own hands are not only cheaper, but sometimes it is better for factory, since it allows you to choose a non-standard working weight.
