Just get a proper bar, don't bother wasting money on anything else.

>>37752431

>>37752386
Get an oly bar.

20kg.

7' Olympic Barbell. Should weigh 45lbs

Ideal for barbell flies?

Guys I have a 1'' bar that came with my bench. Should I buy more weight for it (I'm fairly weak yet) or should I buy a 2'' bar instead? Will I waste money buying 1'' weights?

what the fuck is a 1" bar?

>>37752386
210cm length, 28mm diameter. 20kg heavy.

>>37753448
Maybe the kid means 1" diameter.

>>37753515
I think he means 1 inch diameter where the plates go... but that would be a very weird weak bar. Better just invest and get some proper quality. They're not even that expensive secondhand. (Don't buy from gyms, buy from private users only!)

Texas power bar
