I have the cheap gym direct bar. It's bent as from 300kg+ rack pulls. It's 32mm diameter and the knurling is shit. Good for rack pulls that's about it.
Also have a pendlay bushing. Nice bar, knurling is fine but very good. Doesn't have as much flex as I thought it would.
Sticky how is the whip on the Texas deadlift bar compared to a pendlay.
Does SSB = Safety squat bar?
@Callan: Where do you buy a Eleiko bar in Aus mate? and how is the knurl compared to a Texas bar?
ABC bars get consistently good reviews.
Do you guys reckon a Texas power bar would hold up to some oly lifting if I didn't smash it on the ground. Ofcourse I would have bumper plates on it by then.
More whip on a Texas.... Its thinner. That plus it actually has a knurling, its a recipe for awesomeness.
Eleiko Powerlifting bar, 5 years old now. Kept locked up at gym for my use
I am really thinking about getting one but it's a massive overkill for a home gym.
Thats pretty cool, but ever had any issues with others taking it for a whirl?
