Thanks for that link. Is the 6.5mm thick enough? I'm a lower intermediate that's been training beltless but as my numbers creep up I'm thinking I need to make the transition, so I'm not well-versed...

I'm not allowed to post links, but if you search for "Weight Power Lifting Belt 4” Wide 10MM Cobra Grips Belt For Men & Women Adjustable Quick Release Lever Belt Buckle Weightlifting Back Support"...

I think that's a new bar. I was looking at their offerings a few weeks ago and the Power Bar wasn't on their website.

It's Taiwan made. I'd think they'd have to be priced around $200-$225 to...

The Grizzly? It is hard chrome. I should probably get over that though.

Medium-ish. I've heard good things about American Barbell, in that it's not that deep but very gripping. Never handled a true 'Texas' or 'Texas-Style' bar but it sounds more agressive than I would...

I see some as low as $40 on Ebay and Amazon, and I assume...

I hate to be petty, but I guess I am. Am I the only one turned off by the name?

Good to know. I think I'll be fine.



I didn't know there was much distinction between flex and whip. I had assumed those were the same. Flex seems to be fine, but if i ever work upto 405 I'd...

I posted here in 2014 asking about the surgery I finally got the distal clavicle resection in 2015. I wish I had done it sooner. Pain relief was almost immediate. Took a while to find the groove...

Hi,

There are a lot of new quality general purpose barbells out there, probably thanks to the explosion of Crossfit. Most seem to be marketed to CFers, and so the ad copy often says the bar has...

I stopped lurking and registered to post in this very informative thread.

I need the distal clavicle resection, but I'm waiting for better timing before having the surgery. Wife is having a baby,...
