i want to buy a barbell soon and i'm wondering is there anything i need to know before buying one? does it need to be a certain length? i'm about 5'71/2" so i didn't know if this would affect anything. do they make them in different weights?
TIA

Did you ever get your Barbell Maddie? I'm going this morning to pick mine up.

This is the barbell that I have and I love it! It's shorter than what Cathe and crew uses and the padding is an added bonus - I highly recommend this bar!
 
Boy was this a trip. How did you all get these things home!!!!! I came home with a 110 pound set and thank the good Lord I do not have 12 steps to get it in the house. I had to rock it up the 4 steps to the house!!!!!

I also bought a set of 12's and a set of 8's. The 8's were only $3 something and that's a good deal. Considering some places sell the hex by the pound.

I had mine shipped and it only came with 2-5lb plates, 2-2.5lb plates, and 2-1.25lb plates, plus I have some 10lb plates from my husbands barbell that I use on it... I have yet to get above 40lbs in a workout so I'm ok for now.
 
Wow, that's cool. A baby 1.25 plate. That must be real tiny. I had to go see what I did get and I also have dumbell's in there. I did not expect that. So I guess I really got a buy. !!!

now does this mean I have to use em???? lol.
