Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220 510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Anyone used a length of scaffolding as a cheap axle? Just wondered how much weight a 7' length is likely to take. I'm pretty sure it'd be ok for pressing, just wondering about deadlifting.

has a shit deadlift lockout Member 696, 379 posts SQ 240, BP 155, DL 265 660.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq	mine is 6 1/2 feet, pretty thick scaff pole. With two Ivanko 2.5kg collars as stoppers. total weight 25.2kg ! Deadlifting is fine, ive loaded mine over 230kg IronWorx, swindon in the past had a much thinner pole obviously lighter in weight but we had that up to 130kg for Axle Clean and Press

old fat fingers needs to find 10kg Member 192, 640 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 245 735.0 kgs @ 122.7kgs Eq	No, but I have used an axle made from a s**tty bar with scaffolding over the central bit (i.e. remove one end loading sleeve, add scaffolding pole, replace end sleeve. It was stronger than you'd ever need and weighed about 30kg when not loaded.

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts	Ive just finished a deadlift sesh today with a 7ft length of scaffolding as an axle. Only went upto 260kg for reps and it was fine; not sure of the weight limit. Good addition to use occassionally, it does roll a bit but chalk up lots or use straps on you final sets.

Why not just not get fat in the first place?

Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	Ive got a scaffolding pole which weighs around 9-10kg - most ive had on it is 110kg overhead but it was fine. Just bought a solid axle off JT purely because it weighs 30kg and i only have 165kg plates so it means i can shift more weight around.
