The gym I go to nice place but s**te kit. The Oly bar is starting to bend, well is bent and I'm not keen to use it to squat or dead with. However, not a chance of it getting changed. So any Oly bar recommendations at a price that's not gona break the bank and I can grip, i.e. not bad chrome or crap knurling?

Do a heavy deadlift and bend the bar in half. They will have to replace it.

Tempting, but I worry I'll end up t**tting myself as well as the bar Happy

Best idea. Break the f**ker, either that or call in health and safety. They should see it sorted.

Orientate the bar when you deadlift so that the slight bend is pointing upwards. Then get an ego boost from the PB you pull when the bar is slightly higher off the floor, lol

Then change gyms
