Member 2202, 346 posts SQ 282.5, BP 220, DL 320.5823.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | If you are going to compete in a powerlifting federation where they use the stiff power bars like Eleiko PL or Leoko you should probably do most of your competition style deadlifts on a bar like that. Its quite a different feel to those bars loaded with iron 25s than a WL bar loaded with bumpers. | ||

I agree, fed I have competed in use a specific deadlift bar so by training with a stiffer bar it normally allows some carryover on the day, I do think its possible to pull 10-15kg more on a whippy bar than say an eleiko one. | ||

 Why not just not get fat in the first place? Member 132, 1406 posts SQ 331, BP 200, DL 320851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | My best deadlift on my 7.5 ft deadlift bar that I have used for five years in training = 330kg, Best deadlift in comp on a 7ft eleiko pl bar = 330kg.... Amazing! Maybe I should get my money back... | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | martin said:My best deadlift on my 7.5 ft deadlift bar that I have used for five years in training = 330kg, Best deadlift in comp on a 7ft eleiko pl bar = 330kg.... Amazing! Maybe I should get my money back... So the feds that use deadlift bars just do it for fun or too allow lifters to lift more?  Sure, not everyone will but the intent is there. I am happy that feds use deadlift bars..long as they use it for the squat and bench too. How did we get here again? Are yes. The TPB u have used have been a bit stiffer than the oly bars I have used. However not used a top class WL like the one mentioned above. If I was going to compete with a powerlifting bar id deadlift with the stiffest, decent bar I could use. | ||

 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | For the most part, this thread has provided the answers that I was hoping for when I asked the original question. Lifters have compared their experiences of different bars. | ||
