Which barbell to choose at my gym
At my commercial gym they got 2 type of barbell :
20kg, 28mm, good flex, high spin(bearings), no center knurl (from York I believe)
25kg, 30-32mm, xtra stiff, shit spin (needs oil i guess), with center knurl.
I know neither of them are ideal for the powerlift, but which one should i choose to press and squat with (obviously the deadlift is the 28mm one).
Thanks!

This is a question only you can answer.

Personally, I would squat and press with the 25kg bar. The center knurling and limited whip is what I would look for in the "slow" lifts. Deadlift excluded, for grip reasons.

Squat with the the thick bar for the centre knurl and less whip (which is my personal taste). Everything else where you're holding the bar I'd use the 28mm.

Is that 25kg bar longer than the other ones? It could be a squat bar. Use that one for squatting for sure. I would probably be ok for bench and press too. Use the 28mm bar deadlifting.

I would definitely squat with the bar that has a center knurl and no whip. Either or for the pressing movements.

Just don't bench with the bearing bar.
