Hi, I need to figure out how much weight a 5 foot steel pipe will support before becoming unsafe. I am building a series of out door pull up bars for my neighborhood as an eagle project. I need to buy the right pipe/tube that will be sturdy enough but not have too big of a diameter that you cannot do pull ups on it. The pipe is supported at each end. Here is a picture of a diagram I made.

I was planning on using a pipe like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/1-in-x-10-ft-Galvanized-Steel-Pipe-565-1200HC/100576427
The pipe must be strong enough to withstand 600ish pounds. If this pipe/tube is not adequate could you direct me to one that is? --Thank you
