Good place to get a barbell?

Prodigious

My friend works out regularly, he's in quality shape. He's given me a bit of advice, says I should start with a barbell.

He recommends the following workout with a barbell:
Rows,
Squats,
Dead lifts
Shoulder presses
Bar bell curls
4 sets of 8 reps twice a week

Is that a good routine?

Where do you recommend getting a barbell?

There's a few in Argos, would it be fairly easy to get additional weights to fit them when I get past 50kg?

Your friend gives good advice. Get an olympic bar.

or the 7ft Olympic Bar 28mm on D8 fitness for €99 rated at 1000 lb (454 kg)

I am guessing you have no actual weights. In which case it is usually a lot cheaper to buy the barbell & weights as a kit altogether.
