which low-mid price aussie supplied barbell?

A shit bar is actually more likely to injure a weaker lifter because there joints aren't strong enough.

Key point there is competitor... how many of these issues only show up once your squatting 200+ ?

when i was using a pendlay bar (no center knurling) to squat with (low bar) anything above 100kg i couldnt squat properly because the bar would slip/move around because it had no bite, had the same issue with my brothers bar whos knurling wasnt even knurling lol it was just a criss-cross patters engraved in the bar lol... you need a decent knurl on a bar simply for safety reasons as well.

buy quality, buy once.

Competitor, non-competitor, if you're training for strength then your goals are the same. I know some pretty strong non-competitors.

Just got a qoute from ABC..

BOP220, $474.34 delivered ...

Is this the going rate? Or has anyone done better? Any recomendations on the knurling.. I know Sticky mentioned the fine and extra sharp knurling, but after hearing from a friend who has an extra sharp ivanko at the gym that everyone stays away from it, has put me off.


Thanks in advance.

I would get similar to what the Texas power bar knurling is. Sharp is good.
