Power Bar Recommendations - Knurl like B&R, but more oxidation resistant
Looking for barbell recommendations. Here's my situation:
- I live in Atlanta and work out in my garage. Lots of humidity.
- I use old steel/iron plates. Most have a decent amount of rust.
- I do all the 5 typical SS lifts (Squat, Bench, Press, Deadlift, Power Cleans).
- I don't do high-rep workouts like crossfit, etc.
I'm looking for ONE bar:
- That can reasonably withstand the oxidation that comes with humidity when used/stored in my garage. I'm ok with weekly maintenance, I do it on my (bent) York International Black Oxide bar, now.
- Has a center knurl that is sufficient for squats, but will not act as a cheese grater on power cleans
- With sleeves that can withstand surface coating damage from power cleans/dead-lifts with steel/iron plates and which can withstand corrosion/oxidation due to contact with my rusty plates (Yes, I realize I should restore my plates)
I've used the Rogue B&R and find that it fits all my requirements except, obviously, corrosion-resistance. Can it be maintained and kept from significant corrosion if used/stored in a fairly humid garage?
Thanks,
Ben
