It'll fill in the callouses on my shoulders from the 140lb weighted vest

My quick run with the iron cowboy bar came to an end.
I sold it as the quality was just not there compared to the Rogue power bar and I already have too many power bars. It’s a decent bar but I will say that it just never felt solid. The black zinc was flaking off after just one use and it was beginning to show bare steel after just a few weeks. I really want to try a Kabuki power bar but can never seem to justify the price. |

I picked up a rep excalibur during the lockdown after waiting ages for a texas power bar that never shipped. It's a good bar, and the hard chrome is holding up well.

I haven’t tried any high quality bars, but even my Rogue Echo is leaps and bounds above the random ones I have used in the past. Knurling that actually exists, and sleeves that don’t rattle. Definitely looking forward to trying an even better bar when I advance further.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm just going to be poor with my Cap OB-86PB. It's held up fine for 4 years of heavyish lifting for me. Knurling is pretty good, no whip with 500lbs and has taken a few drops with your issue. My favorite though is the 30# Hampton 72CE. I got one of those about 12 years ago because it's a 6' bar that's still 51" between the collars, and it fit inside the tiny workout room in my house. It's not for anything heavy (it won't fit more than about 500#), but it's so useful to grab for just about any straight bar exercise. ETA - it's the carbine of the barbell world. |

Whichever one that’s closest and isn’t bent to shit.
I have identified a few bars around the gym I prefer over others, but almost any non-bent bar will work. |

If you compete, do they use a deadlift bar or a power bar? If you don’t compete and just like to deadlift, once you get used to the whip of a deadlift bar, you will never want to go back. |
