Barbell recommendation?
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 9:13 pm
Anyone have a recommendation on a heavy duty barbell?
I've got your basic 300 lb Olympic set that I've been adding weight to over the years. As I finished up my first feast phase, I crossed the 600 lb mark on rack pulls. To say the bar looks a bit strained would be an understatement. I have no idea what it's rated at, but I'm thinking of picking up a 1000 or 1500 lb bar just for safety reasons (I generally work out alone with a squat rack).
Thanks!
