So I have a home gym and I wanted to buy a spear attachment for my barbell. Seemed like a logical choice for home protection.
But I couldn't find a single one, is this a massively undertapped market? Does anyone know a place that sells spear attachments? Pic related took me 3 hours in paint
you don't need a spear tip if you can adequately hit someone witha 45lb bar. even trting to block it would be a broken arm and you'll cave in their skull like a melon. Its not much different fron a Chinese monk's spade, you just have to be strong enough to wield it pretty easily.
its also too long for inside a house, you're better off one a curl bar with 25lb plate and clip on one end, like a big hammer. That is also guaranteed to fuck up what ever you hit with it. just experiment at bit and practice swinging whatever you come up with a lot

Wouldn't a stabbing motion be easier to do inside a house?
Swinging the barbell around would probably be near impossible but stabbing is probably manageable

OP probably lives in an apartment so you're right he couldn't swinging a bar that's why you thrust with a spear.
>you're better off one a curl bar with 25lb plate and clip on one end, like a big hammer
Plan A is to stay away from crackity-cracks I wouldn't wanna get close if I can help it. Night time burglars aren't in a good place in their life and may be on drugs and have hep c or HIV so I don't want their blood touching me. They may not even feel that they have been hit too.
OP you need to pay real money and get real training on how to stop someone.

I have unironically used a barbell in a self defence situation vs a knife, because it was the closest object

Not that guy, but my neighbor's kid broke into my house to try and beat up my brother, didn't know I was there. Chased his fat ass our with an iron dumbell handle in my hand. Never knew 300 lbs could run that fast.

Why not just turn your whole home gym into a weapon against home intruders? >T-Bar propped against door as an impromptu deadfall trap. >barbell collars strewn upon floor as caltrops >resistance bands armed with 5# plates as an impromptu catapult >bumper plates used as blunt damage discus >replace stairs with stairmaster >last resort keep 3 scoops of mutant mass in pockets at all times as emergency pocket sand to blind opponents

Alternatively, move to the woods and use your barbell spear for lifting and spearfishing protein.

I used a curlbar because its easier to hold
Gavin Hill
hows the weight distribution
Jacob Ramirez
Fag I bet you have shitty weak forearms. A barbell is balanced the same way a spear pole is, the pole itself isn't heavier on one end until you add the spear tip. Same as barbell.
Lift more fag.

That's a great idea, user. And as a bonus you can wear progressively heavy armour to increase resistance in bodyweight excercises.

Hey guys, /k/ommando here and I heard you guys were talking about western medieval barbell spears. Actually the best warriors only use Japanese steel in their barbells. It's folded over 10,000 times and would cut a European barbell in 'twain.
Just some friendly advice from your fellow neighborhood otaku desu.
Konichiwa!

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Barbell spear" bullshit that's going on in Veeky Forums right now. Katanabells deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katanabell in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been lifting with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid whey with my katanabell. Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katanabell and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest gains known to mankind. Katanabells are thrice as aesthetic as European barbell spears and thrice as heavy for that matter too. Anything a European weightlifter can lift, a katanabell user can lift better. I'm pretty sure a katanabell could easily lift a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical hoist. Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the juicy Samurai and their gains of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanabells first because their muscle power was feared and respected. So what am I saying? Katanabells give simply the best lifts that the world has ever seen, and thus, require a better rep on Veeky Forums

Merry Christmas, FUCKER.

I need to recall you the reality of History, little japanfag... Japanese samourai are awesome only in movies, and japanese weaponery has always been low quality, because of the low quality of the metal they find on their isle. That's why they need to fold the steel. It's a technique used by european since the 6th century when the smith add low quality steel.
The reality has ever been wrote : 1582 Cagayan battles "Eventually the Spanish troops defeated the Wokou, thanks to the improvised parapet and the superior quality of Spanish armor and weaponry." > Be a spanish musketeer in the 16th century, and go to japan > A bunch of ronins attack you > Beat the shit out of them with your little lamina. > Founding the city of Nueva Segovia .

Riiiiight. You realise the rest of the bar just follows the spear head yeah? So if you miss with the sharp bit the rest of the bar will also miss?
