Bent Barbell?

[Dyrex]

My hollow barbell is starting to slightly bend due to the heavy weights. Is this going to be a problem when I bench?

Are you trying to show off? You saying you lift a lot?



Nah man, if its not too bad don't worry about it. If it gets worse get a new barbell. The consequences aren't worth the money.

[lucubration.]

It might be a little more awkward. Other than that...should be okay.

Sounds like you have a home made cambered bar.

[rm41400]

you say "hollow barbell"? I would ditch it and get a standard olympic bar when you can.

Somehow I am taking this all tongue in cheek.
