I've just started building a Salmon Ladder replica and i wondered
How heavy does the bar have to be?
cuz the bar i was gonna use seems too light, its like 3-5 pounds
and since many of u have built salmon ladder replicas i just wanted to know how heavy the bar is on urs.

I wouldn't know about the real one, other than it's metal, but the one ar Muscle Park had some weight to it I'd guess 10 or 12lbs?
For mine I got a 6' piece of 3/4" plumbing pipe threded on both ends so I can screw on some barbell shaped little bracket thingeys. Feels about right.
Of course the heavier you make it the easier the real thing will be.

Ok thanks!
So like a ten pound bar would be good to help me master the obstacle, alright thanks again.

My guess is that the bar weighs about 8 lbs. I don't remember where that came from, though.
10 lbs should be fine.

Muscle park has little steel cables, they don't really add any weight. But the bar is kinda heavy.

I just did it at Muscle Park and it's definitely no more than 10 pounds.

nah, I couldn't. I was by myself, and when I was recording parts of the course they went up to me and were like. No! So I was like.. Ok. Put camera away.
