b, what's the capacity of that bar? If its hollow, how thick are the walls?

skaman607: I used athletic tape for rings...just like a regular bar.

Thaibox: I have easily pulled 551 with that bar. It does NOT bend at all. It is Schedule 80 pipe (that is a thickness) which is fairly thick for pipe.

I built it just like a regular bar...

It was nothing but a piece of pipe to begin with...

well I was wondering, because since my bar is shorter then pinkies on the rings would be narrower than on a bigger bar, so I was wondering if I needed to change my grip, by the way the rings are 30 inches, or 76.2 centimeters apart thanks
