Used a crappy bar at the gym today.

The best bar we have is the York “Elite” Power Bar (32004) (got 2 of them) but used the shit bar because it was already in the rack. And wanted to test out how it is. It was OK at lighter weights, but it was noticeably bent when it was loaded with 500 lb. Felt like it was oscillating on the descent as well, which made it hard to control.

I'm going to try to use the York 32004 Power Bar all the time from now on. I should hide it somewhere.

Or maybe bring my B&R bar to the gym. Hmm...

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
