| RSM I've always had great success with decent over reach/peaking cycle. Smolov jnr has worked really well for some people's benches but always ends up digging them into holes | |||

| The tiger bar does not age well I have one in the gym I bought for lock down it's just over a year old and it's showing it's age badly. Not used the rhino bar. Rogue ohio is a great bar. Titenex bar is much better than the ohio imo https://www.pullumsports.co.uk/collections/powerlifting-bars/produc... At 476 tho it's not that much better, the ohio at 400 shipped is the best value imo. not used the rhino bar but I might buy one to see. Strength shop bas***d bars I don't know what the new ones are like but I have one of the originals and it's the worst bar in my gym and I have 2x 100 quid strength shop bars that are the cheapest they do that are suprisingly great for the price. | |||
