Barbell question

[sj]

I'm looking for a decient barbell - something that will last. I'm a little wary on buying a hollow barbell because I've had friends say they aren't as durable as solid steel ones. Any suggestions?

Hi! Here is a link to Ivanko. They have the solid metal bars but keep in mind they are a foot longer and about 10 to 12 pounds heavier than most of the hollow metal bars.

Thanks Cathe! I'll look into it. I know in several of your videos you use the Troy lite. Is that the barbell you typically use or do you use other ones?

Thanks!

Hi SJ! Yes, thats what we typically use. If you are going to lift super heavy, than I would recommend a higher grade bar just as a safety precaution.
