Default Home made SSB

Training partner made me a SSB. Took a regular Olympic bar and welded handles on it. He bent the handles at the ends so that it was easier to grip. I took rubber pipe covering and taped it up tight. Worked pretty well for the first go around!

Did it feel fairly sturdy? Any wobble in the handles?

No welds held good. no movement at all. I could have probly squatted without holding the handles.
