I have something similar to the above for deadlifts - dampens the noise.
It also feels nice to jump on. Its got a higher...
I like the way Sheiko programs are written.
1-2 sets of the bar to groove it out.
50%, 60%, 70%x2, 80% = working weight.
First 3 sets are done with virtually no break, so within 5 minutes usually i'm at working weight.
I've heard this as well - dunno if its true though. Sounds plausible.
Can you move your grip out a little until you no longer have this sensation? The "shocks" sound more concerning than the creaks and cracks
Depends where you are i would imagine.
I had an ABC black nitrite bar outside at my parents place near the beach.
That weathered across about 18months.
I deadlift with steel plates on a rubber mat.
Really bumpers are only needed if you are repeatedly dumping the bar from shoulder-above head height repeatedly.
But up to you. 1kg is 1kg
id buy an el cheapo to start with. If you are still in the iron game in a few months, thats when you can buy some nicer toys.
Plus then you would have two bars, which is more useful than you may think.
