 Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | I wonder when the strangest time for a bar to snap would be Because let's face it there is no good time at all... Either way it's just a rubbish thing to occur I'm going to say... In the middle of the night while lay on the floor... Yeah that would be an odd one. Especially in the middle of the bar Whatever bar you get boar nobody else will issue it so it will be looked after... He benefit of solo shed training is that you stuff doesn't get misused without you knowing This also may have happened at the snap city barbell club "I was so strong that one day I broke the bar in half!" "No mate the bar snapped itself in two in disgust and how shallow your squats are it would rather kill itself than be carry" "Screw you!" "FIGHT!!!" | ||

It is great for bench and squats. I didn't think it had any whip compared to basic Strengthshop Oly bushing bar when deadlifting. At the risk of being labelled a heritic am I right or just not lifting enough weight?-) | ||

Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | yes it does help for deadlifting but squatting with a whippy bar is not very fun so its not ideal for an all round bar, there is the texas deadlift bar which is extremely whippy but really can only be used for deads | ||
