When it comes to the long list of dangers in this world, many people jump to the more obvious ones. Stepping outside can get you killed by a snakebite in many parts of the world, or if you live in Florida or Australia, you might be attacked by an alligator or crocodile on your afternoon stroll. Tornadoes, fires, drowning, car accidents, and even other people can kill you easily.

But when we think of objects of death, rarely do we stroll into the kitchen, past the knives, and head for the refrigerator or food pantry. But there is actually a long laundry list of regular, run-of-the-mill foods which are absolutely deadly. Here are ten common household foods which can be lethal.

10 Nutmeg

While most of us look at nutmeg and think of it as a spice, a nice little dash of flavor for our coffee or any other food which needs its rich, aromatic, nutty flavor, nutmeg is actually a hallucinogen at higher doses.^[1] Nutmeg can cause dizziness, vomiting, nausea, central nervous system excitation, and even death. It takes about two tablespoons before someone starts feeling the painful and powerful effects of nutmeg, but it’s definitely no joke. It has landed hundreds of people—often looking for a cheap high or good time—in the hospital.

The toxicity of nutmeg is surprisingly high for something sold in grocery stores and found in plenty of spice racks. There’s a surprisingly small margin between the amount that’ll simply spice up your eggnog and the amount that’ll cause toxic effects. It’s powerful enough that it was even historically used as birth control, to terminate unwanted pregnancies, and to fight the Black Death.

9 Apricot Seeds

In the United States, it’s easy to buy whole, raw apricots in the produce section of the grocery store. This is surprising because of the lethality of apricot seeds. They can kill you if you eat them. Apricot seeds contain a chemical called laetrile or amygdalin, which is highly toxic. Many people falsely believe that apricot seeds can cure cancer. They are also ground up and sold as “vitamin B17.”

In the human body, amygdalin is converted into hydrogen cyanide and can kill the person who consumed it.^[2] As we will see, many, many fruit seeds are actually poisonous for one reason or another, but apricot seeds, vitamin B17, laetrile, or whatever you wish to call it, definitely produces cyanide in the gut and can definitely kill you.

8 Almonds

In 2014, Whole Foods had to recall some of its bitter almonds as they contain traces of hydrocyanic acid and glycoside amygdalin, which, when heated or exposed to certain other conditions or chemicals (like the kinds in your digestive system), will be converted to hydrogen cyanide.^[3] That’s right: amygdalin again, just like with the apricot seeds. Both raw almonds and apricot seeds are marketed health products, but both can be deadly when ingested.

Cyanide compounds are actually pretty ubiquitous and plentiful in nature; in fact, if you walked out into nature and just began eating food, many of the things you ate raw could kill you, as is, without human intervention.

7 Potatoes

Glycoalkaloids are a chemical compound that occurs naturally in various plants, such as bittersweet nightshade, a plant related to tomatoes and, believe it or not, potatoes. These plants contain solanine, a chemical which, in large enough doses, is actually toxic. Symptoms of solanine poisoning include nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and worst of all, respiratory failure, leading to death.

Yes, you can die from eating potatoes.^[4] A grown, 91-kilogram (200 lb) adult would need to consume 0.9 kilograms (2 lb) of fully green potatoes to ingest enough solanine to kill them, which, if you think about it, really isn’t a lot.

6 Tomato Plants

Tomato plants are another potentially lethal plant and also a relative to the bittersweet nightshade plant, as mentioned above. Thus, as logic would deduce, parts of tomato plants are also loaded with glycoalkaloids and possess solanine, with all of the same symptoms as the potato, including vomiting, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and, of course, respiratory failure up to and including death.

The good news is that the poison resides in the leaves and vines, not in the tomatoes themselves, so eat as many actual tomatoes as you’d like, to your heart’s desire. Just stay away from the green areas, like the vine the tomato grows on.^[5]

5 Rhubarb

Rhubarb may not be as common as potatoes or tomatoes in our kitchens, but this leafy vegetable—wait, is it a fruit? Well. it is actually a vegetable but is labeled a fruit in America based on a legal ruling in 1947. Regardless, it is often used in cocktails and as a tangy-sweet pie filling. However, the plant’s leaves contain oxalic acid, a chemical also used in household bleach and anti-rust products (oh my!). Oxalic acid occurs naturally in certain foods—leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and cocoa. Symptoms of oxalate poisoning include nausea, vomiting, convulsions, and even death. If the leaves of the rhubarb plant are eaten, they can also cause a burning sensation in the mouth and throat. Cooking the leaves will not remove the acid.

The likelihood of dying from eating too much rhubarb is very low. The average lethal dose for oxalic acid is estimated at 170 mg per pound (375 mg per kg) of body weight, which is approximately 26.3 grams for a 154-pound (70-kg) person. This means you would have to eat 10 pounds of rhubarb in one sitting.^[6] So, unless you happen to be addicted to strawberry-rhubarb pie, you’re probably safe!

4 Fugu

Fugu is a dish prepared from pufferfish, which is served as a fancy dinner in many restaurants worldwide but particularly in Japan. Part of the draw is this fish’s toxicity, which makes it a costly item that’s often served more as a garnish in extremely small amounts, tiny slivers of which might kill you. The toxin in question is called tetrodotoxin and is found in parts of the pufferfish, none of which must make it into what’s served to guests. Chefs in Japan must complete two to three years of training to be licensed to prepare fugu.

Tetrodotoxin is 1,200 times deadlier than cyanide. A minuscule amount is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, killing him. Pufferfish generally contain enough tetrodotoxin to kill 30 people. When experiencing fugu poisoning, the mouth begins to burn, along with the tongue, and slow, slurred, drunken speech begins. The heartbeat begins to become irregular before the respiratory system shuts completely down, killing the person who ate too much.^[7] There is no antidote for fugu poisoning, but it isn’t always lethal, and sometimes the victim can be flushed of the remaining poison and survive. Eating fugu is a gamble, but that’s part of the draw for some.

3 Ackee

Ackee is a fruit native to West Africa and is grown in Jamaica as well as parts of the Caribbean. It is a pear-shaped fruit in the same family as lychee and a few thousand other relatives. But ackee can’t be bought raw in the United States as there is a federal ban on importing and selling the fruit. It can be bought canned, but there are strong restrictions on canned importation due to ackee’s potent toxicity.^[8]

If the fruit is not ripened fully, consumption can lead to disastrous results. “Jamaican vomiting sickness” is a name for ackee poisoning, and it sometimes actually kills people. Generalized weakness, dehydration, and confused, crazy, panicked mental states are the initial symptoms, starting two to six hours after consumption. This can quickly progress to seizures, coma, and death. The fruit is definitely not something to mess around with, hence the extremely restrictive ban by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

2 Cherry Pits

Cherries are a delicious fruit we all know and love, and most of us have grown up with them. There is cherry-flavored just about everything today, from soda to ice cream, but beneath the flesh of a cherry is an extremely lethal pit or seed—and many of us probably remember swallowing them as a child because whole, raw cherries can be purchased at many grocery stores, as is, with the pits included, unlike ackee.

So, what’s the culprit in cherry pits? Amygdalin, yet again, with its hydrogen cyanide potency. For such a lovable fruit, the availability of cyanide, directly on the inside, is pretty astonishing; You shouldn’t just ingest cherries by swallowing them whole, regardless of what cartoons and video games may tell you; it’s extremely dangerous. A man in Lancashire, UK, actually got cyanide poisoning by consuming a mere three cherry pits, which almost ended up killing him.^[9]

1 Apples

Like cherries and apricots, the poison in apples lies in the seeds, but nobody really knows about that. Cyanide toxicity takes place at 0.5 to 3.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, and apple seeds could do the job if you were to eat enough of them. As usual, amygdalin is the culprit, and the resultant cyanide can kill you quickly.

Each apple seed contains about 2 milligrams of amygdalin. Rest assured, however, you would have to consume over 140 apple seeds for it to kill you, which, if you obtained eight seeds per apple, would require about 18 apples. There are 700 milligrams of cyanide in one kilogram of apple seeds.^[10]

I like to write about dark stuff, history, and philosophy.

We like to think that we have a pretty good handle on not only what’s in our food, medicine, and cleaning cabinets, but also which items are dangerous, and how they all work and interact with each other. However, it’s a complex world, and oftentimes it is hard to keep track of all of it at once. Unfortunately, there are dangerous items lurking in our households, of which even the best of us are often almost completely unaware. 

10. Bleach And Ammonia Cleaners Can Create Chloramine Gas 

Most people don’t think about the fact that many of the cleaning products actually contain ammonia, and that those that don’t probably contain bleach instead. Since most people aren’t even aware of how powerful ammonia is — or even what it is — many also are not aware that when ammonia and bleach are mixed together, they form something called chloramine gas, which is often confused with tear gas due to its milder, but similar effects. 

Many individuals cleaning their houses, especially in the early pandemic days, have accidentally mixed the two types of cleaners and started dealing with watery eyes, respiratory distress, and other symptoms, before running to a ventilated area to recover, only later realizing what they had done. The simplest way to avoid this pitfall is to read your labeling and simply make sure not to mix cleaners that have ammonia and bleach agents in them. However, it’s also important to note that natural sources of ammonia — such as urine — can cause this effect as well. This is why experts suggest you do not use bleach-containing cleaners to disinfect toilets, diaper pails, litter boxes, or other areas that may contain a lot of natural ammonia. 

9. Too Much Cinnamon Can Quickly Cause Liver Toxicity 

Most people are smart enough to avoid the cinnamon challenge, if for no other reason than choking hazards, but it can still be quite dangerous even without that kind of abuse. You see, there are two kinds of cinnamon: Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia Cinnamon. These two types  have an important difference, which is that one has much more of the active compound that can cause liver damage than the other. Cassia Cinnamon, the one most commonly sold in stores, contains a large quantity of Coumarin, which can easily cause liver toxicity in humans. 

Now, some studies have attempted to use it therapeutically for things like diabetes, but the evidence is unclear, and the risks are high. Scientific studies have shown that the safe amount of Cassia Cinnamon per day for a human of roughly 160 pounds is less than a teaspoon and a half, if you don’t want to potentially suffer long term liver damage. 

8. Plug In Air Fresheners Are Really Bad For Your Pets 

People don’t typically tend to think too deeply about air fresheners, but they can be quite dangerous for our pets. The problem is that these air fresheners are not just releasing safe organic compounds into the air. They are actually using something called volatile organic compounds, which are known to potentially cause cancer in animals. They certainly can cause respiratory distress in poets, even if you do not use them heavily enough to cause their deaths.

To make matters worse, a study showed that out of 25 major brands, a combined 133 volatile organic compounds were found, with at least 17 different ones per product. Among those, 24 of the compounds are toxic under US law, with every product containing at least one of the toxic ones. This means a huge amount of potentially dangerous compounds that are very hard to properly test for. Cats especially are in danger, as they are not only a lot smaller than us, but they tend to groom themselves by licking, which means anything in the air that gets on their fur is likely to end up in their digestive tract. For dogs this is not as much of an issue, although still a cause to be careful.

7. Too Much Use Of Spray-On Deodorant Can Actually Kill You 

It should be noted, first and foremost, that spray-on deodorants have clearly written warning labels, but due to an alarming number of incidents where teens have lost their lives, some are questioning if that’s nearly enough. A report from the United Kingdom found 11 deaths attributed to this cause in the time period of 2001 to 2020. While this is not a huge number, it’s far more than it should be, as it’s an entirely preventable cause of death. These teenagers were overusing the spray either to make themselves smell good in place of showers, as is the case with one British teenager, or to comfort themselves with a nice smell, like another teenager; this one a girl in Britain who lost her life at the age of just 14.

To make matters worse, not all death certificates are going to attribute this cause as the direct effect, so the true number may be hard to actually track. There have also been 324 deaths related to butane inhalation in the same time period, which is the chemical in the spray-on body scenting products that is so deadly. This definitely leaves the most important question here: why are spray-on deodorant products using such a dangerous chemical to begin with, knowing it will be applied near human skin?

6. A Little Too Much Nutmeg Can Cause Myristicin Poisoning 

Most people think of nutmeg as just a spice for eggnog and cakes, but it actually contains an active compound called myristicin, which can have very strong effects. This active compound in nutmeg is rarely ingested in quantities large enough to have any effects on us. A little bit sprinkled on eggnog or a teaspoon in an entire cake isn’t likely to have much effect. However, at just a teaspoon or two, depending on the weight of the person, it can start to cause myristicin toxicity. Now, except for the case of one eight-year-old boy, there are no known deaths on record, but it is called toxicity because you tend to get a very unpleasant fever and high that some people try to exploit for recreational purposes. 

Malcolm X was famous for this, admitting in his biography to using a penny matchbox of nutmeg mixed with cold water while in prison, and he claimed it hit like “three or four reefers.” But before anyone gets excited about using nutmeg to emulate Malcolm X (or just to try to get high), he was using this because he was in prison and had nothing else was available, because it really is not a pleasant high. While there is no hard evidence, as it isn’t ethical to test just how much will kill you, it is called toxicity for a reason. When you have too much, you get hallucinations, and an extremely powerful high, but you also get sweating, high fever, nausea, and a sense of impending doom that can last for 24 hours, or even longer. 

5. Appliance Fires Are Becoming A Serious Problem — And It Isn’t Just The Obvious Ones 

When people think of house fires they think of things like unattended candles, or other negligence issues, but appliance fires are becoming a big problem and they are often not the user’s fault. Now, we can’t mention appliance fires without mentioning toasters, but contrary to popular belief they are one of the lesser causes when it comes to these accidents. The fact that people often forget to clean them doesn’t help, but studies by consumer agencies have shown that most toaster fires are not created by the consumers themselves, and that there is a truly measurable problem when it comes to faulty electronics. One of the most common causes of toaster fires is that they will not stop after the timer tells them to, continuing to heat up (and up, and up) until a fire starts. 

However, as bad as toasters are, they are hardly the worst offenders. From 2001-2009 consumer agencies tallied all the different appliance fires, and found over 35,000 likely caused by appliance failure. Of those, they were absolutely sure that in over 15,000 instances it was indeed an electrical problem with the appliance. In these tallies, they found that range-tops, dishwashers, dryers, refrigerators and other big appliances were actually causing way more fires than small appliances like toasters. Experts believe these electrical problems are often traced back to one shoddy part that ended up in the mix, which can lead to appliances overheating, refusing to turn off when they are supposed to, or turning on without being told. 

4. Raw Flour Is Often A Carrier Of E. Coli 

Many people dismiss the danger of raw flour, and when worrying about raw dough only think about the eggs. They may not realize that letting raw flour spread around their kitchen is almost as bad as doing the same with raw chicken. The problem is that flour that has not yet been cooked in something — even though we may not think of it this way — is actually a raw food, and can often contain E. coli. This, of course, is the contaminant that often causes the recall of products like lettuce. This means that as a rule of thumb, you really shouldn’t use raw dough as a toy for kids to make clay shapes, nor allow it to spread around your kitchen without thorough disinfecting, and you really shouldn’t ever eat it. Not that we expect people to scarf down spoonfuls of flour, but still.

Now, some people have heard of raw cookie dough that is sold that way, and is safe to eat. This dough often contains no eggs and has flour that was specially heat-treated before it was added to the cookie dough. Some people may think this is safe to do at home so they can make their own cookie dough, but this is really not recommended by food experts. They simply do not believe that most home processes are going to adequately heat-treat the flour well enough to be sure of removal of any contaminants, such as E. coli.

3. A Moderate Amount Of Licorice On  A Regular Basis Can Actually Kill You

Many people think little of black licorice, and enjoy it for a snack. But overconsumption can easily be deadly, as it contains a dangerous compound called glycyrrhizic acid. The problem is that this compound in real liquorice, while healthful in small quantities, can be very dangerous in larger quantities. Many people, either eating it as a regular snack or trying to use it in supplements or teas for health benefits, have accidentally overdosed and put their health at risk. More than two ounces a day for two weeks is more than enough to start causing noticeable health problems, which include high blood pressure and extremely low potassium levels. 

Now, while deaths are relatively rare, they do occur on occasion and usually tend to skew towards older folks in their 50s and up. Unfortunately, apart from the fact that the older generation tends to like it more, and the fact that the risks are not well known, its health effects are more likely to bother an elderly person than a younger, healthier individual. Heart arrhythmia, high blood pressure, messed up acid levels in blood; and low potassium may be bad for a young person, but they are much more likely to be fatal for an older person.  

2. Wedding Crashers May Be Funny, But Eye Drops Are No Laughing Matter 

The scene in Wedding Crashers where a man is snuck eye drops and he ends up on the toilet is played for laughs, and most people think of it as a harmless prank. It is important to understand that the effects of this drug in real life are much, much worse when consumed than simply spending an uncomfortable period of time on the john. The fact is that eye drops contain something called tetrahydrozoline, which is very useful for removing eye redness and irritation, but when ingested or injected, causes dangerous drops in blood pressure and heart beat. In fact, not only is it deadly, but the side effect of gastrointestinal distress that we see in the hit movie is actually not a common side effect at all. 

The more common side effect of taking too much especially over a long period of time is death, as extremely low blood pressures and heartbeats can kill you if not medically treated. In some cases people have killed others using the eye drops as poison and in one case a woman was even convicted of the killing of her husband by poisoning his drink with eye drops and was sentenced to 25 years.  

1. You Should Really Monitor Your Tuna Intake Due To Mercury Levels 

Most people think little of it, likely due to the small can size, but tuna is actually quite a large fish. So, the government has advice on how much we should eat to avoid mercury buildup.The recommendation is that adults should not be eating more than 2-3 cans (at the very most!) of chunk light tuna per week, and that if they do eat that much, they shouldn’t eat any other fish that week. Now, you might notice here that chunk light tuna is specifically mentioned, and that’s because it’s actually different in terms of mercury levels than albacore or white tuna. Albacore tuna tends to have about three times as much mercury as the smaller tunas, like skipjack, that are usually found in chunk light tuna. This means if you have a taste for the more expensive white tuna, you really shouldn’t have more than one can a week, and again, should not have other fish that same week. 

This advice, however, is for adults. The recommendation for children and pregnant or nursing mothers is that, ideally, they should avoid tuna altogether. If they eat it at all, they should especially avoid white tuna, and stick to one can of chunk light tuna. It’s still recommended, however, that children and young mothers (as well as other adults) include a regular amount of low mercury fish in their diets, instead of just consuming beef and poultry products for fear of mercury poisoning.

Getting in shape may be one of your top priorities, but it’s harder to accomplish it during the coronavirus outbreak. Gyms across the nation are closed to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. If you’re having withdrawals from the gym, take advantage of the time to get a little creative around your house. There are plenty of items around your home that can help keep you in shape during this tough time such as frying pans, detergent bottles, and even beer cans! Here are ten ways to stay fit during the stay-at-home orders using only household items.

Top 10 Activities Seldom Seen Outside Gym Class

10 Grab A Chair

A chair has so many uses when it comes to exercising from home. Find a sturdy chair in your house and place it in an open area where you can complete your workout routine. Start the workout with incline push-ups by placing your hands on the seat of the chair and performing push-ups. Then try decline push-ups by placing your feet on the chair this time and perform push-ups.^[1]

A chair can also be used for dips. Start by placing both hands on the front corners of the chair seat and extending your legs in front of you. Bend your elbows to lower yourself, and then raise yourself back up to complete one rep. You can also add an extra chair under the feet for added difficulty. The best thing about these exercises is that you can still binge watch your favorite show while completing them!

9 Load A Backpack

Everyone has an old backpack laying around their home, and it’s time to put it to good use. This is where you can get creative. Fill the backpack with items from around your house to add poundage to your bodyweight moves. You can throw in some old books, clothes, cooking pans, or even some of those beers in the fridge that you haven’t pounded back yet during the quarantine. Once the backpack is filled with a comfortable amount of weight, you can wear it during lunges, squats, pushups and other cardio exercises around your home.^[2]

8 Replace the Dumbbells

Just because you’re not able to go to the gym doesn’t mean you can’t still get the same workouts that you get from using dumbbells. Try replacing the dumbbells with household items such as paint cans, laundry detergent bottles, cast iron pans, and milk jugs. If your looking for lighter weight, you can pull out those beer cans and bottles again.

Once you have chosen the household item you would like to use, you can start checking off exercises. Hold the items in each hand and start doing exercises such a bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, front raises, and overhead presses. These household items can also act as a kettlebell to add several other workouts to your daily routine.^[3]

7 Find Those Heavy Books

Walk over to that bookcase that you forget is there and wipe the dust off those large books that you never got around to reading. A heavy book can help take your core to the next level while working out from home. Place the hardcover book on your chest while doing crunches to add extra tension to the intense workout.^[4]

Also try laying on your back with your hands in the air holding the book above you. Then use your stomach muscles to raise your shoulders off the ground. You can also pull out that chair again for another exercise that targets your core and legs. While sitting in the chair, hold your legs together in front of your body and place the heavy book on your shins. Slowly raise and lower your legs to feel the burn. The book can also be used for several other workouts if you just get creative!

6 Use the Stairs

Many homes have a set of stairs either inside the house or outside. If you are lucky enough to have a staircase at your home, they are a great way to get the heart pumping and the muscles burning. Walking or running up and down the stairs provides a great cardio workout. If you want to add some difficulty to your workout, throw that full backpack on your back before hitting the stairs. You can also use the stairs for other exercises such as incline push-ups, decline push-ups, dips, and various stretches.^[5]

Top 8 Exercises to build the body of a Greek God

5 Grab Some Rope

You might have to search through those several plastic bins in your garage, but there is a good chance that you have some old rope tucked away somewhere. Ideally, you’ll want about 8 feet worth of rope to help you with your at-home exercising. The rope will work as a resistance band and can be used for several exercises such as seated rows, roll up, roll downs, and planks with leg raises.^[6]

Tie at a knot at both ends of the rope and find a good strong tree in your yard. Throw one end of the rope over the tree branch where both ends will now be hanging from the branch. You can now use the rope to execute inverted rows, squats and similar exercises. The rope can also be a good tool to help with stretching before and after your workout routines.

4 Utilize A Wall

Maybe you were unable to use one of the previous household items for your workout, but this next item is guaranteed to be found inside and outside of every home. You’ll find at least four walls in every home, and they provide great stability for stretches and exercises. We all hate to do wall-sits, but they are a good way to work out your quads and glutes. Simply stand with your back against the wall and carefully slide down into a sitting position and try to hold it for a minute. Feel the burn yet?

Since you have a wall, you can also do wall push-ups. Face the wall with your arms shoulder length apart, put your hands on the wall, and perform a basic push-up against the wall. Looking for something more challenging? Try some wall walks. Start in a high plank position with your feet against the wall. Walk up the wall with your feet until your face meets the wall. Slowly walk back down until you get to your original position and repeat for a total of 5 reps.^[7]

3 Pull Out the Paper Plates

The dirty dishes are probably piling up in the sink since you are now stuck at home, unless you decided to use paper plates and cups instead. If you have extra paper plates lying around, then you’ve found another useful household item for your routine. Paper plates work perfect as sliders for certain workouts. They can be used on hardwoods, tile, and carpets too, meaning there is no excuse for you to not try them!

Double up the paper plates and use them just as you would a towel on the floor. Use them for exercises such as plank jacks, mountain climbers, and pikes. They can also add difficulty to your lunges. Stand on the floor with one foot on the paper plate, sliding that leg back and forth bending the knee until the other knee reaches about a 90-degree angle.^[8]

2 Use A Towel

Surprisingly, a towel has many ways of helping you workout in your living room. If you don’t have a yoga mat, lay down a couple of towels. They won’t be as soft as the mat, but it will serve the same purpose. A towel can also help you perform vital stretches before and after your workouts. A resistance band can also be replaced by a towel for many workouts.^[9]

While in a plank pose, place a folded towel under your feet and slowly move your hips toward the sky while gliding your feet towards your hands. For those who have doorknobs that are not round can try using a towel for rows. Wrap the towel around the door handle, place your feet against the door, lean back until your arms are straight, and pull yourself up until your chest hits the door. The best part of using a towel is being able to easily swipe away the sweat after each workout!

1 Replace the Barbells

Remember how you can replace dumbbells with commonly found household items? You can do the same with barbells too if you get creative enough. Start by finding a sturdy bar that can hold weight. Metal poles, fence posts, and strong wood can all serve as the barbell. Now it’s time to find some weights. Paint buckets work great because the handles fit over the bar easily. If the buckets are empty of paint, you can fill them with other heavy materials.^[10]

You can also create your own barbells with weight by taking two five-gallon buckets and filling them with concrete. Before the concrete dries, stick a large piece of metal in the middle of the bucket to serve as the bar. You can use your homemade weights for deadlifting, squats, curls, and lunges. The homemade weights will also work for bench pressing if you can find something to serve as a bench.
