Member 2592, 18 posts SQ 232.5, BP 167.5, DL 262.5662.5 kgs @ 118.6kgs UnEq | Hi, Am after a decent but not too expensive bar for some beginner Olympic lifting in the garage. Have got cheap bumpers and a platform sorted. Please can anyone offer advice on any of the following from personal experience - from my research the specs look to be good for the price? Freedom strength bar currently on sale £153.99 new on eBay https://freedomstrength.co.uk/shop/premium-sprung-steel-1500lbs-olympic-bar UKSF Cronus barbell £162 new on eBay https://www.uksupremefitness.co.uk/cronos-olympic-barbell Both seem to have decently rated steel and needle bearings so would hope them to be plenty good enough for my needs but any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated. Freedom strength one looks better on paper but knurling stops short of the sleeves which I've read isn't the best for doing snatches. Cheers | ||

We have wolverston bison bars in the iron pit. Just have taken loads of abuse and are still pretty good. | ||
