I guess the bars that spring to mind currently are Eleiko PL comp and training (to spec not approved) on the upper tier and Rogue Ohio power bar as the cheapest approved I think. Has anyone used them both and what were your opinions on them.Currently I've a SS bas***d power, SS bas***d deadlift bar, SS safery squat bar and a SS elite weightlifting bar (really a Taishan bar restickered) | ||

next comp I want to enter the platform via zipwire Member 4872, 992 posts SQ 237.5, BP 142.5, DL 265645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | The Ohio bar is excellent. Not quite as stiff as the Eleiko, but probably the next best thing considering the price point. There's a world of difference between the Ohio and the other budget bars like SS, Wolverson etc. | ||

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | May as well get Rogue Ohio. Excellent bar. Around 1/3 of this cost of the eleiko bar and compares favourably to it | ||

Been pretty impressed by the SS bastaxx powr bar tbh ... it's going to be my workhorse bar .. as want to keep the eleiko in perfect condition it's going to be for deadlift only close in ... I guess it's somewhere between a Texas power bar and an Ohio (not been on an Ohio just seen footage and chats about it) ... | ||
