💥 Here is a way to make a weight training loading pin 📌 going to be used as a vertical 🏋 barbell for one hand / arm training in power lifting. By the way "loading pin" is the official word but sounds so static, when the more explicit "vertical barbell" is almost not used at all ... may be just here!

Technical points :
💥 Using gas metal arc welding : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding.
💥 Tubes coated with zinc should have their coating removed close-by  before welding, otherwise because ‼️⚠️ the zinc boiling point is far below the welding temperature, it tend to explode and disturb the welding! In this video the tube inside coating was not removed and while adding some interesting visual effect it's impossible to weld smoothly.
💥 The bottom washer is exactly 5.8 mm thick.
