I do not see any reason that it would not work for either of us. If you watch the camera pan around at the end of the video it shows a shop with cars being restored. It looked to me like the guy just made some for himself as (guessing on my part) that he has some disposable cash. If I had started the weights a few months earlier and know what I know now I could have made not only those bar extensions but a complete power rack out of metal for near nothing. I had all the fab shop equipment and supplies available. But hind sites 20/20 right?
