Again, I would avoid such a bar. <br>For your heavy lifters, a good range for a bar with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI is $130 to $150 (without needle bearings and center knurling). If you want needle bearings, add about $50 to the price. <br><br>Choosing a <br>Bench Press Bar<br><br>When choosing a bar for your benches, it is good to know that the dynamic demands on your bar are not nearly as extreme as when doing squats or Olympic style lifts. Your bench bar, however, should be well constructed and have fairly deep knurling to assure a good grip. 30mm or even 32mm bars are fine when benching.<br>PSI: For all athletes who lift under 400 pounds, general-purpose bars with a yield strength of only 105,000 to 125,000 PSI are fine. However, for those heavy lifters who bench over 400 pounds, you should get bars with a PSI of at least 135,000. <br>Special Features: You do not need any special features for your bench bars.<br>Price: Bars with a yield strength of 105,000 to 125,000 PSI are $90 to $120 (without needle bearings or center knurling). For your heavy lifters, a good range for bars with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI is $130 to $150 (without needle bearings and center knurling). <br><br>Choosing a <br>Deadlift Bar<br><br>BFS recommends using hex bars for doing deadlifts. These special bars bring the weight into the center of the body, making it easier to stay in perfect position. You can get these bars with regular handles, or raised handles for your really tall athletes. Hex bars do not have rotating sleeves or moving parts so it is easy to compare bars from different companies. BFS does recommend that you stay away from the old-style trap-bar diamond design because they do not allow sufficient legroom when performing the lift. <br>BFS has a 45-pound Hex Bar for $129; a 45-pound High-Hex Bar for $139; a 45-pound Combo Hex Bar (which includes a set of regular handles and a set of high handles) for $189; and for your powerhouses, a 75-pound Mega Hex Bar that holds nine 45-pound plates on each side for $249.<br>For schools that like to have their advanced lifters do straight-bar deadlifts for special occasions or for those that simply do not have hex bars yet, refer to the following:<br> PSI: The main factor in choosing a good bar for deadlifting is yield strength. BFS does not recommend deadlifting for junior high and beginning lifters, but for your mid-level lifters and heavy lifters you should get bars with a PSI of at least 135,000. For your extra-strong athletes who are closing in on a 700-pound squat, you will want to consider a bar with 185,000 PSI or more. <br>Special Features: The only special feature for deadlift bars would be an aggressive knurling to enhance the athletes grip. Also, as with all bars, you will want to make sure you do not get bars with shoulder bolts. These bars are notorious for the bolt falling out and causing the sleeves to fall off. This can be very dangerous when doing any lift, but it is especially dangerous when doing heavy deadlifts and heavy squats. <br>Price: Bars with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI are $130 to $150. For your super-heavy lifters, look at spending around $300-the price goes up substantially asfX^0ЄȗxʄB̂}?oKy{ADJU[^ܸn%,gLU1 hrV1&3(,5+Vפd>RH֐{yj1CRAյE m-F.<B ~6&&25ϊ4+=^sw6lgɷqb7tEZ Ls)CyJG^ ZI͗:P&ܤn WR˪*YW ,OȡOp-Y~ 7ߪ,i9^bلr[z -T]Ey,\tiߙ9 `챹On߮ooWi 䜀|Lsi렏UqR6\gf N|3. bxP:mVTYgvռޝ){LJfg;9o]BҔG×y4ۻ~ߥ^M56n^Q? eEUk,x|;oLɍP̍D6uRo[6=pmGqHlopI-VusbJa$+">JkYoyfv`6PC#Jc\ ]|jE<22\4okV²bտЧK3Kw)to+xZݿg\W1XБWExE>ӷԦth=-AYT wyeoخ]_4,+er\w9W (vEO "6ݻV5[Onŏ!{v9Ry!]mo wIu1|WScܺ"P'KfD3ŖT}K&Mh9.9fqIKN+|m8fU?>;ȇl9I!/Mf^:nK{jZ,GDֻ͡pu/S~ Y,XXy˦DkX|&yIstBa2dQd'OܫUĵE4_%H |RU9SjU:N>mZ@rc"{+b8L{9?g:VWL<6TWj3I+m_U/]'#9 wq1xǎ%̐Lc^|w>>JEJ$e4ݥ)4tݛv%mio&ZxevU26k*ѓM!)l^?(xcH?AO$=.DY@_E0|+/9 / T e-ڢjy!ԷA񋓍K<!yǶ_jƬۇin&f/"O+a*n`~j<'aFI4fh0ޝc$ɏ/9cc @"yd_=*ءZw!.$` #m?T֫*C!05ۏh^yIRRlVLh@}MvIp{>w?đq(qU8'ām띇m~2'N6}In#cvU7u7% 좨U]B[Rt=zӒ\mKR"Xrry#BMA)Z\B%(TǧJn?W;_׻_?|PH& !2)UT[«yY7vH~RA@36/N8-c_GsoQeʱYnYڠ{>Z|״ɚط|r71 @9ܽͷoUWv9ǿqWrPznC )Suڷ/ol)ɝBX'tmt_7nw;g<v'h۹zV[%z\E" ݛߪpZ*bv1edŗWl$\1V2W FмL=),D.;t9 œzÛL榸".c08C#F|VVSF[FTbɑC㭊D"~dVjz~cB|x3"xqǕwc mxvUS]-r*N!|=֩(s\_XFq`r #C{wu1WQ*>MAϙv>ư zBR!9P.MVv63 $+FoZWj'hKjk߻RH%qaaDo I7/uE!d( DioQ"xbEV7;I Ϗ,I"$}ީOHd} 6Zᬍ&# zT;@IMȰ{h:?ɷqкOq=>vY]>d,C(߉ǩ7qumM9|㧒D#wl77ZZeOSK(h (}%jR6,,\.
