Question:Experts please!?
I want to make a homemade pullup stands to do my exercises in. My plan is to get to buckets, put two 7 foot ply woods on each bucket, drain the concrete mix, and finally, insert a bar on top. My question is, how many pounds of concrete mix will i need?, will it hold me?, and how do i go about mixing the concrete with water, pouring it?, and how long will it take to dry? note: the wood is 8inches thick. The buckets are large and wide, about 1 1/2 feet long and about the same in width.I am 6'3 240 pounds

i dont want to sound like a pessamist but two buckets filled with concrete will tip over VERY easily if they are all the ballest you have !! You need to have them firmly anchored in the ground or to a large piece of plywood to spread out your wieght and stop you from toppling over !! BE CAREFULL !
Still sounds pretty unstable. If you are unable to put the posts into the ground maybe hang a bar from a tree branch like a swing.
