I disagree. Try it and see if you cannot clean before you decide you cannot clean..
Short list of great bars.
General Purpose Bars:
1. Starting Strength Bar
2. B&R Bar (almost the same the the SS bar, but slightly thicker shaft diameter)
3. Texas All American Bar (same bar as SS, but with a finish on the shaft and slightly different sleeves)
Not the Ohio or Echo because of pack of center knurl
Power Bars:
1. Ohio Power Bar (basically a B&R with more aggressive knurling and options for finishes on the shaft)
1. Texas Power Bar (Same as All American Bar but more aggressive knurling)
1. Vulcan Absolute Power Bar (aggressive outer knurl, but medium center knurl won't shred you neck/chest on cleans like other power bars)
