Not sure how manly carrying it is but it changes things up. No creosote in this one. But it is over 20 years old and has the old pressure treated chemicals in it. I think it weighs 75-80 lbs. So not too heavy. I wish I was in Navy Seal condition.

Navy SEAL condition. I once sat next to an older lady whose son was a SEAL. She said he never told her anything about his work.

We bought a new bar. I’ll never come close to working it hard.

I wasn’t planning on deadlifting but my son was. So I deadlifted. We were pulling off the floor so I stopped at 365. I set up for 405 and thought better of it.
