Make a Romano street simulator with your own hands. How to make exercise equipment at home

Horizontal bar

Let's start with the simplest thing - this is a horizontal bar. To create it, you don’t need much, each apartment has a special place where the horizontal bar fits perfectly. To do this, you need one crossbar and a couple of hooks, but it is better to weld the metal frame and attach it well. You can also tie a rope to the horizontal bar, which will greatly expand your capabilities.

Punching bag

You can talk endlessly about the benefits of a punching bag, so let's get straight to the point.

If we consider a completely budget option, then you can take 4-5 plastic (woven) bags, put them together (one to one) and fill them with sand, then wrap the whole thing well with wide adhesive tape or simple electrical tape.

You can go the other way and do one to one. We will need a kerza or tarpaulin, if the fabric is still thin, then we fold it in several layers until you feel that it can withstand the load. We sew a pear for ourselves, for a room, but it’s better not to make a small one, since we need to fill it and give it the necessary weight, the approximate length is 1.3 m, you choose the thickness yourself.

It is worth noting about the weight, if you have prepared a strong bracket, and you are sure that it will hold the load, then the best weight for a pear will be 50-80 kg. And do not forget to sew fasteners on the pear itself.

Many understand that maintaining their physical condition through sports is important, but not everyone can go to the gym due to various circumstances. The only solution for such people will be the manufacture of simulators with their own hands. Below you will find tips for creating various exercise equipment at home.

It should be noted that some simulators at home are simply impossible to do. Unless, you are a mechanic and have a large number of machines in your workshop. For the manufacture of sports equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, etc., you will need a lot of nerves, time and money. But there are also pluses. For example, you can customize the simulators for yourself, while making them no less high quality than purchased ones. Consider the main bodybuilding simulators. They are essential for the development of muscle mass. To equip a "home rocking chair", you will need:

• Barbell. It can be replaced with a metal or PVC pipe. It should weigh approximately 15 kg. To meet this parameter, pour lead into the pipe and wait until it hardens.
• Dumbbell bars with threaded threads for large nuts. They can be ordered from a locksmith.
• Pancakes for the bar, at least 4 pieces. It is desirable to make them suitable for both dumbbells and barbells.
• Horizontal bar. Can be made from pipes. It is recommended to hang it in the yard or on the wall.
• Bars. Attach to the wall.
• Barbell rack suitable for deadlift and bench press.
• Punching bag. We will talk about this a little later.

Now let's take a closer look at the manufacture of dumbbells. The main problem is the lack of good material. Basically, dumbbells are made of steel and cast iron. Some advise concrete, but it is less dense and crumbles quickly. However, concrete dumbbells are easier to make at home. To do this, create a container in the form of a pancake for a dumbbell and fill it with a mixture of cement, sand and water. If you are going to make them from metal, it is better to contact a turner. Drawings of dumbbells can be downloaded on the Internet. For a punching bag, you will need shopping bags. Put them one inside the other, fill them with stuffing and wrap them with tape. The main thing is that the layer of bags is strong. A more complicated way is to sew a pear from tarpaulin or tarpaulin. After buying such a fabric, it is given to the seamstress. The pear should be in the shape of an elongated sausage, at least a meter high. The best stuffing option is sand and small wood chips (tyrsa). You need to hang the pear using a special bracket. To make the bracket, you will need iron beams. Weld them to each other. The horizontal bar can be made from metal pipes. It is desirable to provide a wide grip. To do this, you will have to carry out welding work. It is best to place the horizontal bar on the wall, and not in the doorway, as many sites advise, as it is more convenient and practical. You can also make a horizontal bar and bars 2 in 1, which will help you save time and money. Such interesting sports equipment can be folded, turning into bars and a horizontal bar.

The leg muscle simulator we are considering is designed for the selective development of the biceps and quadriceps muscles of the thigh.

• For the development of the biceps femoris muscle, the athlete lies down on the bench, so that the knee joints are at the level of the hinge; pressing the heels on the rollers, bends the legs, while the torso is motionless.
• In the sitting position during extension, the quadriceps femoris muscle is loaded.

The schematic diagram provided by us shows the dimensions of the main structural elements. Let's try to answer the question: "How to make a leg machine yourself at home?"

How to make a leg trainer?

This machine consists of a welded frame (1), inside which weights move vertically along the guides. A bench (2) is attached to the frame. On the free side, a lever mechanism with soft rotating rollers (3) is attached to the bench with the help of a hinge. Along the edges of the bench are two pairs of handles. The lever mechanism is connected with weights through a cable and three blocks.

As you know, this machine is effectively used for isolating the thigh muscles. It is for this reason that it is actively involved in the drying stage, when the athlete's physical work is aimed at 100% getting rid of subcutaneous fat and giving the muscles maximum relief. Also, to achieve this goal, bodybuilders add a lot of aerobic training to their training plan, such as: running, swimming, working on cardio equipment. Well, of course, the good old bicycle is also very useful during this period, read more about it here. It has long been proven that daily cycling for only half an hour, combined with regular exercise on the machine in question, can give your hips a truly perfect presentation!

Well, in the off-season, when working on the mass, the simulator in question can be forgotten as such, because at this stage of the training there is absolutely nothing to do with an isolated effect, and athletes are mainly passionate about basic exercises such as squats and deadlifts.

Also on the machine in question, you can do and

For the treatment and prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, and internal organs, Dr. S. Bubnovsky developed a simulator, which was later named after him. The therapeutic effect, which is achieved in the process of exercising on this device, is not guaranteed by any medicine, while the simple design makes it possible to make it yourself. What is the Bubnovsky multifunctional simulator and how to make it yourself?

The main idea of ​​​​the multifunctional simulator of Dr. Bubnovsky

A prerequisite for maintaining health is movement and physical activity. Muscle work stimulates increased blood circulation, as a result, tissues are supplied with oxygen and nutrients, and metabolism is accelerated.

The same thing happens with lymph - another component of our body. In the process of physical activity, congestion caused by a sedentary lifestyle is eliminated, lymph begins to circulate intensively, normalizing various functions of the body.

However, not all people can move freely. Persons suffering from diseases of the joints (arthritis, salt deposits) and the spine (protrusions, hernias, osteochondrosis) experience severe pain when trying to perform physical exercises.

Painful sensations are most manifested in the joints, which have to support the weight of the body, and they do not include only the joints of the hands. Therefore, S. Bubnovsky developed the design of the simulator, during the exercises on which the load due to gravity is removed.

The device of a sports simulator

In a complete set, the Bubnovsky simulator consists of 4 vertical frames (arches), installed in pairs one opposite the other, and a bench located between them. On the crossbar of each frame, a block with a cable put on it is fixed. A load is fixed at one end of the cable, and a soft cuff is at the other. Lying on a bench, the user puts on a cuff on each arm and leg.

Then the bench is removed, and the practitioner remains in limbo. In this position, the gravitational load on the joints and spine is removed, and the muscles are stretched, which is very beneficial for the body (this is the goal of most hatha yoga exercises).

The main purpose of the Bubnovsky simulator is to remove the gravitational component

When trying to perform a particular movement, such as twisting, the user will have to lift loads, which will require muscle effort. At the same time, the joints are included in the work, and their condition will gradually return to normal.

At such a stand, patients undergo rehabilitation courses after injuries and operations, kinesitherapy (movement treatment for diseases of the joints and spine, cardiovascular system and internal organs), disease prevention, so the Bubnovsky simulator is considered multifunctional (MTB).

The Bubnovsky simulator can be used by people of any age, starting from 6-7 years old

The fully equipped version (with 4 arches) is called MTB 1-4 or simply MTB-4. For many exercises, 1 or 2 arches are enough, set one opposite the other. Such modifications of the simulator, respectively, MTB-1 and MTB-2.

Preparation before self-assembly

Before proceeding directly to the manufacture of the Bubnovsky simulator, the dimensions of the future structure are determined and the necessary materials, components and tools are prepared.

Dimensions

The height of the arches and the distance between them must match the original version. This determines the angle of the branch of the cables to which the cuffs are attached.

If the angle is not made the way S. Bubnovsky determined it, it is possible not only to weaken the therapeutic effect, but also to make the simulator traumatic.

Arches are built 220 cm high and 70–80 cm wide.

When the simulator is equipped with one arch (MTB-1), its supports are made both straight and slanting. In the second case, the stand will be more stable, but will take up more space. Therefore, in conditions of space shortage, a compact arch with direct supports is suitable.

Materials and accessories

For the manufacture of the Bubnovsky multifunctional simulator, the following materials and components are used with their own hands:

1. Arches are made of profiled steel pipe, the cross section of which depends on the load used. If the weight of the weights on each of them does not exceed 105 kg, as in the original version of the simulator, then 60x60 mm pipes are used to make arches. The exception is the single MTB-1 simulator: with the same 105 kg of weight, the racks are made from a 40x40 mm pipe.
2. Each block is provided with a swivel (connecting element) for free rotation around a vertical axis.
3. Cables use metal, designed for the weight of the weighting agents used. At one end of each cable, a carabiner is attached to attach the cuffs. The cuff is attached to the carabiner with a steel ring 3–5 mm thick.
4. For the manufacture of cuffs, a durable, but soft material is used that does not leave corns. In the original, they are made of leather and trimmed with suede on the inside. The cuff is an important detail, because if it breaks, the user, who is in limbo, may fall and be injured.

   The cuff must be made of quality materials

   It is better to purchase factory-made cuffs, which come in two sizes: 29x6x1 cm and 33x10x2 cm. They are made soft (can withstand weight up to 120 kg) and hard (used for legs and can withstand weight up to 150 kg). The cost of one factory-made cuff is 890–900 rubles.

5. To make a bench, you will need the following materials:
   • steel strip 40x4 mm;
   • profile pipe with a wall thickness of 2 mm;
   • equal-shelf steel corner 32x32 mm;
   • square pipe 40x40 mm;
   • chipboard (chipboard or OSB) 20 mm thick;
   • foam rubber;
   • piece of leatherette (for upholstery).

Additionally, for some exercises you will need:

• chains that play the role of cable extensions;
• handles (made from steel rod);
• mat;
• leather sandals.

In some cases, expanders are used with a different number of rubber bands (length without handles - 1.25 m). The original expander costs 280 rubles. A product with 4 tourniquets is recommended for use by men, with 3 - for women and adolescents, with 1 or 2 - for people recovering from an injury (dislocation, fracture), stroke, or with intervertebral hernia.

Tools

To make a simulator, you will need the following tools:

• measuring tool;
• grinder with cutting wheels or a hacksaw;
• welding machine;
• electric drill;
• file.

How to make a simulator of the Bubnovsky house according to a drawing with your own hands

The design of the simulator is relatively simple for self-manufacturing. Below is the sequence of actions.

Bench

Bench manufacturing steps:

1. The profile pipe for the frame and the corner are cut into blanks, then holes are drilled in them according to the drawing.
2. Next, assembly begins. In places subject to the greatest loads, the workpieces are connected by welding, in other places (parts responsible for adjusting the position) - by means of bolts.
3. The finished frame is primed and painted.
4. The seat and backrest made of chipboard or OSB are bolted to the frame. The holes in these parts are drilled so that the bolt heads are hidden.
5. Foam rubber is glued to the back and seat, after which the leatherette upholstery is laid, which is attached to the chipboard from below with a construction stapler.

arches

Each arch is a U-shaped structure, which is formed from sections of a profile pipe 60x60 mm by welding. A block with a swivel is bolted to the upper crossbar. From below, the "legs" of the arches are equipped with support plates.

You will need 4 arches in total. They are installed in pairs opposite each other. Each pair is connected from above with a horizontal section of a profile pipe, which is welded to the crossbars of the arches. Then the segments are interconnected using two more segments, so that in the end a single frame structure is obtained.

This is how the frame structure of the MTB 1–4 simulator looks like after assembly

Pancakes for the barbell are used as weighting agents. The holder for them is made from a piece of pipe, to which a metal plate is welded on one side. It is this design that will hold the weight of the pancakes put on the holder, so special attention is paid to welding.

On the other side of the holder pipe, two holes located opposite each other are drilled in the walls. A bolt is inserted here, which will simultaneously be inserted into the cable loop (it must be brought inside the holder) and thus fix the holder with pancakes on the cable.

Video: proper operation (demonstration of performing the simplest exercises)

It is not difficult to make a Bubnovsky simulator on your own. However, even a well-assembled stand with a rash approach to training can be harmful. Therefore, people suffering from serious diseases of the spine or joints are recommended to exercise under the supervision of a doctor.
