    i was planning on buying an 700lb bar but im not to sure now would i be better off paying an extra 50 for a 1500lb ???

    like the 700lb/350kg holds alot of weight like i will never be able to lift that much i be lucky if i could lift 200kg :)

    so what do you think ?

    AND

    what bar have you got ?

    thanks

    wel if you look at the other way 130 for a bar is alot

    how long had you had the bar and what the max weight you had on it

    any signs of the bar bending ??

    I'd get the 1500lb bar but is the bar you are looking at a powerlifting or olympic lifting bar?
