Took me until the 5th set of squats to warm up. Yesterday’s activity was kicking my butt. Then I went to Costco and walked about 10 miles pushing and wrangling carts. Now my body feels completely devestated. Therapy and lots of tumeric will happen.
@ChickenLittle recommended I pop by to chat with you a bit about your new bar since I am currently in the market for one. Now that you have put a little mileage on the bar are you still very happy with it?
Any other comments (knurling, whip, etc) would be greatly appreciated in helping me pick what bar to go with next!
OG and biker thank you.
As for my new bar, littlesleeper, it is a 1/4 inch greater in diameter than my older bar. This new thicker bar has given me a new grip challenge for all lifting so that is good. The collars rotate well and it has very little whip. The knurling is rough and and digs in fine for grip and traction on my back. In my opinion this black power bar from New York Barbell is a good value. The bar is 7 feet long and rated to 1000 lbs. Hope this helps littlesleeper. Oh, yeah I like the bar.
Thanks GV. @littlesleeper was wanting a good bar, but doesn’t want to drop $500 on one, I told him you really liked your new one. You had said it was a good bar at a good price.
