Great video as usual. I watch all of your videos multiple times and learn a lot about training, and get motivated to train. You are far and away one of the most intelligent and detailed video makers as far as explaining in a totally positive way the rationale for what you do and why you do it. Also, you're one of the best and funniest writer/actor/producers on KZfaq. I'm a little disappointed that you took the toilet scene out of your opening montage, but relieved that you found a girl to marry you with that in your opening montage. 😜 Keep it up! Also, some video of the baby snuck in here and there wouldn't hurt.

I love my texas power bar. I went at it with the same approach that you gave the B&R bar with but wanted a heavier knurling and love it for an all purpose bar. Stiff enough for squats and bench, whippy enough for deads, looks awesome with the thick collars so I'm not banging the plates off my wide af rogue rack, and feels so nice in the hands since it isn't too thick or too thin!

Is there different types of bars? When I pick bars for squats I look for a old worn one, cause it seems necks wear more than hands (all the old bars are really worn in the middle). For bench I look for a new shiny one cause they look nice. Deadlift I just go with whatever's in the rack, or the one I just used for squats.. Would I gain anything by choosing "the right bar"?

@robertsulc138 5 жыл бұрын

You can choose deadlift bar and this can add 10 to 20 kg to your deadlift also you can have some advantage from olympic bar on squat when he is little flexible.

@chinarep1 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's most obvious on the deadlift since you can get way better grip on a narrower bar than a thicker one. Also, if you're pulling over 400ish lbs, a whippier (more flexible) bar will allow you to pull noticeably more since the bar will flex a little before the plates actually leave the floor and all the weight is in your hands. Bars can also make a big difference on the squat since one with a smooth center won't stay in place as easily as a bar with a knurled center. For bench press, as long as the sleeves can spin so the bar doesn't spin out of your hands if the plates rotate midrep, it doesn't make much difference imo.

@chinarep1 5 жыл бұрын

@@RenaxTM91 Well hand size is a big factor here but the other thing is usually your grip is the limiting factor before you get to the point where the bar feels like it's slipping. Even dudes with giant hands that have no problems getting a solid grip on a 29 mm bar can pull a little more on a 28 mm bar regardless of differences in whip. Also the rom isn't reduced. It's more like pulling with really short, really light chains when you use a whippy bar. Either way, the main things for training are to be consistent and to keep making progress. Sounds like you're doing fine with what you have already.

@RenaxTM91 5 жыл бұрын

@Joshua Ciardelli I feel the same way, I never swap a bar that's already in the rack, but if there's no bar there I'll take a worn one for squats or a nice one for bench. It doesn't make a difference for the lift, just for the wear on the bar...
