If you must know, Tombro, I'm actually in training to be a Spartan Warrior...not a keyboard warrior.
And to answer your other question, I own the same bar you speak of. Yes I do agree that the build quality is a little sub par and that their customer service is $hit. The only constant in this equation is you being a whiny pu$$y. Get a set of effin collars, put some plates on it, and squat with the damn thing. Instead you try to diminish the OP's purchase by ragging on the bar and then cowardly editing your post. Trolls gonna troll.
Also, if I remember correctly. You sent me around 10 pm's a while back all begging for a reply, which I never did. I would call that acknowledging the 2morerepz. I don't blame you though, I would acknowledge me too.
Good luck to you and your cocker spaniel on your squat goals for 2015.▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #47

Cliffs notes:
the design of the bar is awesome.
> the multi-piece, welded alternatives.
the pad is nice, seems thicker than the alternatives.
the welds are ugly.
the collars do not sit perfectly square with the plates.
it's clear coated, so it'll withstand more abuse than powder coat.
It's still one of my favorite bars. But that doesn't mean they can't get their act together and weld the damn sleeves and collars on square.

^^^^^ This.
I like the bar because it works very well. I squat exclusively with my SSB.
I don't like that they were sloppy with its construction. I expected better considering the cost of the bar.
I am not sure that there is much difference between clear coat and powder coat. My clear coat is getting scratched up and will require maintenance (oil wi****wn to prevent rust). The clear coat is cosmetically more pleasing and does not show the scratches as much as powder coat would.O─O York Barbell Crew #53 O─O

My goal is to have so much equipment that I don't have room to workout. I am almost there. :)

And for the record, no one on this forum has consistently praised elite more than me. I'll bet dollars to donuts I own well over 100 of their products, including six major pieces from Williams strength..... So much so that I have been accused of working for them multiple times on here, I have zero problems w them and that's all the more reason why I wish their stuff was perfect because they build stuff like a tank and then go and screw up sone thing so easy as the welding, like gf said, it's like getting a Ferrari w a door thats on crooked.
