Bars are only rated to 250kg though we didn't read the small print and ours bent in first few sessions : ( My input is check the max ratings in the small print on wherever you buy | ||

We talking about my bar or my dillaling  The bar bent like a banana when Steve pulled 420 on it lol then it sort of straightened bak out over a few weeks it's not bad now but when you squat if you don't get it right it rolls down your back, it has a rating of 620kg or something but a load rating of 250kg  I would get a cheap bar tbh or keep an eye out on eBay for an ivanko I like them  | ||

The Weightlifting bar, whilst rated to 1500lbs, is essentially a weightlifting bar, and we would not recommend using it for very heavy squats/deadlifts (roughly 250kg+. For this we would always recommend the Texas bars) From the horses mouth, we just bought the wrong bar | ||

That's why we couldnt swap our bar I thought it was rated to 1500lb so quite happily let the lads deadlift on it | ||
