Adding a new Bar

[twodog]

Alright, I give up. I just ordered one as an Xmas present to myself for $142.60 shipped from Amazon.

I have four 7' bars already, but I think one or two of them may soon find themselves on CL.

You won't be disappointed, unless it gets damaged in shipping. It truly is my favorite bar, knurling wise and I'd buy another in a heartbeat if the situation arrived. I'm glad to see that CFF has it for $117 again because that's what I paid. But it only helps if you are in the area to pick it up.

What's this about getting rid of one of your bars ? If you don't have doubles, and they are all good bars, it's blasphemy .

I'm the only one working out down there, and I have two older split-sleeve York bars (one for deads), one CAP OB-85B (my squat bar), an unmarked zinc-coated bushing bar (bench and OHP), and a CAP OB-85 that I've stolen the sleeves from for my York vertical leg press.

I really don't need that many, and with the new bar I could unload the two cheaper CAPs and the unmarked one on CL and really not miss them.

As long as you will be unloading CAP's .

Definitely one CAP (OB-85B) and the unmarked bar. I might keep the OB-85 for a little while, as the sleeves are currently on my leg press...and I think that'll help me unload it after the first of the year.


That'll leave me with a York for squats, another one for deads, and the OB-86B for bench/OHP. That ought to be plenty for one person.


ETA: Then again, I could keep them all and start a CAP Barbell Crew! Our numbers would easily surpass the York and Ivanko crews combined.

Lol !

Lol !

You laugh, but I'm only half kidding.

I have:

OB-85
OB-85B
OB-86B (on the way)
OB-48 "super curl"
OB-89HZ combo hi/low trap bar
MBB-504 tricep pressdown bar
and about 1100lbs of CAP/Standard oly plates


Wow...it looks kinda sad when I see it all listed like that.

It's funny, but I too, own (3) CAP 7 ft. bars, (1) 6 ft. bar and one EZ bar as well as almost 1400 lbs. of CAP/Standard plates. All of which will be on CL in January when people are ready to follow their New Years resolutions

edit: as well a hex bar that I'm keeping

I've heard really good things about the CAP OB-86 (haven't seen the OB-85 -- didn't know about it) from someone who has sold a lot of them to gyms and other commercial environments. I don't keep super up-to-date on all the bars, though I've been testing a lot of the US-made ones lately, but it's among the nicest of the imported (I presume from China) that I've seen in the last few years.

I haven't stocked up on purpose, just got around to start selling the plates since I got my York score, but I figure at this point it's best to wait a month, lol. I actually have an additional 800 lbs. of different oly plates and a bunch of other stuff to go along with the CrAP stuff.
