I took a “D” handle, a carabiner clip and a link of chain to make an implement for swings. The plates don’t stack you line them up next to each other. The height off the floor is always the same and you adjust the chain to the thickness of the plates you have. I can use one hand or two on the handle. Another nice feature is being able to do one-arm presses with it. But, don’t try to snatch it…ouch!

I have a couple of pics, but couldn’t find where to post them.

I couldn’t fit enough 25′s on an 8 inch piece. I actually like the feel of the 12, but as long as you’ve found something that works for you, that is all that matters.

You can also go the opposite way and use a shorter loading pin. I made mine with an 8″ rather than a 12″ pipe. No you can’t load as much weight on it, but I use mine mainly as a sub for a 24kg kettlebell. Even then, with 25lb standard plates, I could get at least 100 – 150lbs on it. Good enough for my needs.

Cheers.
