    Deadlift bars

    Just chasing options on deadlift bars. I plan to compete in GPC and turns out someone wants to buy me a barbell. Who's used both Okie and Texas bars. Why would you buy one over the other? Cheers.

    I thought I'd start a thread where we could review a program based on our own personal experiences. There's no right or wrong reviews, just opinions and sharing what worked and what didn't.

    What fires you up for your training session?

    What fires you up? Is it preworkouts? any particular music? do u just use daily frustrations to get fired up? What gives you that extra 5% for your workout? I personally love to crank some really Heavy Metal and it does the trick :)
