The thing is, you could put 600kg on any bar if it'd fit, and it would be fine sitting on the floor..Tongue

The Quest Q Bar was IPF approved for several years and their non IPF bar uses the same shaft, I've never used one but its sensibly priced. Would be worth a few people clubbing together to get a couple to save on shipping.

It's a combination of slim plates and a good bar that will make a good setup, it's pointless getting a Texas bar and loading it up with bumpers right to the ends, get a pair of 50kg plates, it does make a difference.

It is a proper one, strength shop sell them but they are the proper buddy Capps bar. I wouldn't get the strength shops own power bar.

What about in the 200-220 range? I assume we're talking squats.
