    G'day Rip,

    At the moment I'm using a cheap, no name barbell, it's served me well but I now want to replace it before it breaks.

    I'm not exactly spoiled for choice where I live and I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to barbells , so I was hoping to get some of your input.

    This one seems like highest quality/most expensive available to me.

    Is it worth the price tag? ($1095 USD)

    This one is the second most expensive
    http://www.gymandfitness.com.au/herc...h-collars.html ( $720 USD )

    Then there's this one.

    ( $410 USD )

    Which one should I buy?


    I'm sorry about the long post, and would appreciate any input or advice.


    Cheers,

    Axel.

    Buy the cheap one unless you plan on being a competitive Olympic weightlifter. But just so's you'll know, the cheap bar is about twice the money there that you'd pay here, in USD.
