Purchasing a Barbell

Anyone have any that they would recommend? Not looking for highest quality, just something that is durable and can handle the weight.

Love this bar. I have had two others before it and they were total crap in comparison. Great for the money

No center knurling on this one?

Vote for texas power bar. As an all around, it is awesome. Great knurling, stiff, well constructed, durable and tough. Well worth the investment.

For beater bars, I just use whatever I can get off Play it Again/Craigslist.

What do you guys prefer, a bar that has some whip and bend or not…I have been thinking of purchasing an Okie power bar. The bars at my gym are very stiff and thick I prefer some whip

Stiff for bench and squat, whippy on deads. I absolutely love my texas deadlift bar, but if I had to buy just one, I’d get the power bar.

I own a jessup power bar; I love it and the price is very reasonable. It may be a bit thicker than other power bars.
