What's the best deadlift bar?

What's the best deadlift bar you have used? - or what bar would you get if you we're getting one as a specialised deadlift bar and nothing else?

I hear texas deadlift bar is the nuts

Never used one though

Hard to go wrong with the Texas. The Sportskraft one that Sticky gets is pretty sweet as well. We've got a Texas and will be getting another in the near future. Learning to take advantage of the whip is the first step to a really strong deadlift

The SportKraft will destroy your hands, deep burn.

Yeah, this really threw me at my first meet, first time laying my hands on one. The closest thing I have to a deadlift bar at my gym is an Iron edge economy bar that sorta bends and whips when you pull it fast enough.

..as in hard to get used to full stop or just to utilise it to its full advantage? Much difference between these and the abc powerbar?

Not hard to get used to but the better you get at pulling the slack out of the bar the more the whip helps.

Very different to the ABC bars. I've got 4 ABC bars that are great for all lifting but the difference in thickness and whip is very significant.

if you have the cash the texas deadlift bar is pretty damn nice. Once you have pulled with it you wont want to use anything else...
