Lol, I once did OHP and felt good because it felt lighter than usual meaning I'm finally getting some gainz. Turns out no, it was just a lighter bar than usual. Felt so ashamed and dissapointed when I took the weights off and realised this
Damn, now I know I should be curling with a deadlift bar in the squat rack for that extra aggressive knurling. Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to quote this video when people ask me about my new technique at the gym.
This was very helpful. I had a guy a while back ask me why I was about to squat with a dead lift bar..I had no answer, because I didn't know that was a thing. He proceeded to take the bar away with no further explanation, and I was was left at the power rack with no bar. It was weird. Don't be like that guy.
This is a good video! One thing I would add is that when being used for deadlifts, a power bar is often referred to as a "stiff bar" - for anyone who has seen that term used and wondered what it means.
Thank you for your point about rack pulls. Especially at cheap public gyms, people doing heavy rack pulls can ruin the equipment and that equipment will just stay ruined forever because management is lazy. Respect the equipment!
Switched from a high-end commercial chain to a smaller local gym with Rogue and Eleiko, definitely a useful primer for me. It’s great to be on power and hybrid bars consistently now, though I do have to admit that benching with a squat bar by mistake was … exciting, and a bit of a grip training.
I couldn’t believe how annoying it was weightlifting with a powerlifting bar. The diameter was only 1mm wider but it felt so thicc. Also the knurling was sooo much sharper. No whip either!
@@jonnyrepsfitness well oly lifters are probably the kings of front squat and its the most important accessory to that sport so it makes sense the bar would be good for the job.
@@BiggestArmInWestLinnOregon if they trained it as frequently sure. But if we're doing apples to apples let's see Lasha Vs a strongman who excels in clean events.
Remember the humble aluminum technique bar. Really great for warm-ups, for learning the Olympic lifts, and for rehabbing injuries. It's also a good bar for general use at home by seniors, children, disabled people, or anyone who's not going to put more than 150 pounds on it. I know a 65 year old woman who used one to start overhead pressing again. She also likes how easy it is to stow away the 6 foot 15 pounder in her condo.
At the end of last year during the sales I bought my first personal bar. I got it with red cerakote because it looked cool. It had "volcano" knurling which is half-way between "hill" and "mountain" knurling in sharpness (these names refer to what the little knurling nodules look like close-up). Something I thought people might want to know if they are looking at buying a barbell, is that while the cerakote looks cool, it sort-of caps over the knurling and makes it slightly less grippy. I'm fairly the same knurling profile on a bare steel or oxide bar would feel slightly sharper (not sure about chrome).
@@hazardeur Covid killed our gym so we built one in my mate's garage and I keep it there. I do have friends who keep their own bars at their gym, though.
Quick note about the weightlifting bar: most weightlifting specific bars (as in ones that are advertised as being olympic spec) do have centre knurls, women's bars dont have centre knurling at all. Also dont know why you didnt mention this but oly bars have much faster and less resistive spin, usually with needle bearings. If you can open the bar to service (you usually cant as there tends to be a star nut type threaded end cap behind the snap ring) you should NEVER use oil. Bushings use oil, bearings use grease, lithium grease is fine. This spin is for reduced torque and better turnover, otherwise the resistance would destroy your wrists.
I've been doing OHP mostly with a squat bar, I thought all the longer bars were the same length so this explains a lot. I used a bar that looked a bit different just yesterday and blew through my sets. Haven't got any stronger suddenly but my numbers are 5kg better than I thought so that's cool.
I just moved to a powerlifting gym and didn't know I was using a squat bar but it felt a little heavier and thicker so I asked around and realized how many different bars they had. I love the inclusiveness though and love how informative this video was!
watched this twice. AND made notes. thank you for this very thorough explanation and comparison. i had some confusion over the differences in diff barbells and what to get for my uses.
I watch a lot of videos that review a particular barbell. But this comparison video highlighted the differences, really informative! We can all feel like barbell connoisseurs now!
I just about cried when you said "you can tell it's a deadlift bar because of thebway that it is." I'm glad that you can show everyone about the different barbells instead of just you and Rodney knowin it
Always good to get the insight from a gym owner. Rack-pulls are something I program from time to time. I will now always look for the ugly bent Bar that sits in the corner when doing rack pulls.
"They-handled" 😂 My small private gym (like... really small, really private, located in my garage) only has two barbells: one (we'll call it "junk") for the 1" plates, and a power bar for the 2" plates. Glad to know I chose properly when choosing the power bar as my barbell.
I wasn't always sure exactly where my 20kg Ohio bar fell on the spectrum. I find it fairly well rounded for most compound lifts (makes sense it's a hybrid). My wife has a 25mm 15kg women's bar that's pretty similar (B&R 2.0 with dual knurl rings / moderate knurl sharpness). I actually like the bare steel finish on hers rather than black zinc and just a slight bit more than a nice thin cerakote.
I competed in powerlifting back in 1987-1991 and we only had the powerlifting bar as distinctive from regular Olympic barbells. Now I'm almost 55 and I started a home gym after covid shutdown started. I have a Vulcan hybrid bar, a Rogue squat rack, a Rogue Swiss bar, a Titan SSB bar and a Titan Yukon bar. My dumbbells go up to 115 and I have a Vulcan adjustable bench. I am familiar with squat and deadlift bars from hearing about them but never seen or used them personally.
Dude! First thing I said when I saw this video was "He's wearing an Unto Others shirt!?"... I don't personally know ANYBODY else who has ever heard of that band until I showed them. Badass.
I go to a commercial gym, and they all have the same bar. Thanks to your informative video, today I learnt that the bar they have is a hybrid bar. Good to learn about all these different types of barbells in case I go to a different gym in the future!
This was a very informative video that I didnt even know I needed haha. I know there are a ton of gyms that would love for people to know to not use good barbells for rack pulls. Especially here on base. Every other dang barbell is bent from those meat heads
I've started doing more cleans lately at my powerlifting/strongman gym, which doesn't have an olympic barbell. I was swapping out the deadlift bar on the platforms for a power bar thinking that would be closer to an olympic bar - after watching this it sounds like the deadlift bar is actually closer to an Olympic bar, so I guess I'll just stick with that. 👍
Noticed your Bloodstar shirt a few videos ago, now seeing your unto others shirt. Saw the same lineup when they came through a couple months ago, good ass show.
I’ve got a question for you Alan. Disclaimer: I’ve never done a rack pull, so I don‘t know whether this would be a good idea or doable anyways. Do rack pulls with safety straps also damage a barbell? Or is a rack pull with safety straps stupid because the straps aren’t rigid and it would slam into the chins all the time?
best way to "rackpull" safely (for the bar) is to use jerk blocks/mats/other plates/anything else to elevate the plates and let the impact be on the plates rather than the shaft of the bar
The center knurling on weightlifting bars indicates that it's a mens bar as opposed to a womens bar which is missing said knurling. The roughness of the knurling is decided by whether it's a training or competition bar. The whip in these bars is decided by the weight. They start whipping around 200kg and upwards.
At the end of the day, it's a piece of steel that you use to move weights. I try not to get too hung up on specific uses. I benched with my deadlift bar the other day 😳
yeah i feel like unless you are competetive powerlifter or weightlifter, this is just one more thing that will make you more excuse prone..."i would pull that 300lbs if i had the texas deadlift bar as usual bro"
As a lucky weightlifting club member whose club just received new Eleiko bars, my neck has not adapted to the cheese grater just yet 🥴 Thank you for leaving the fun in the video (so neat) and also for the disclaimer about not racking the Eleiko bars.
The people who run my commercial gym have no idea what barbells are used for what. They have deadlift bars in most of the benches and they have power bars without center knurling in most of the squat racks.

Oh, also an exception for huge people with not enough mobility, needing a longer bar for squat. Fantastic video, super informative stuff. All makes intuitive sense, which is nice. Edit: Okay the much earlier video titled "The Deadlift Bar: Check It Out", is a relevant video for my comment here.
Excellent content. Thank you. One clarification, i can use power bar and hybrid barbell for any type of barbell workout? Whats the length of hybrid barbell my rack width is 45 and i am looking for 56inch barbell, the 51 inch shaft always knocks the rack. I will use it for home. And i dont want huge collection of barbell. Just recommend one please
local gym just expanded and opened a dedicated power lifting and strongman area. Fresh new ghost combo racks, fresh texas barbells. They already had rogue ohio bars, and rogue deadlift bars. Man do members get mad when someone uses one of the fresh texas barbells for deadlifts....which i personally dont see the issue in. That knurling is high and sharp
I workout at a smaller gym. They have a squat bar and a deadlift bar. One time I went in to deadlift, but the deadlift bar was in use. I decided to do a poor man's axle deadlift with the squat bar. The difference in feel was remarkable, and I don't pull that much. It made me want to get an axle bar to get the full experience.
What I’ve never understood about people being afraid to ask questions at a gym: If ur not shredded, I don’t think people expect you to know everything (and no one cares if you don’t) If you ARE shredded, who gives a fuck if you don’t know everything… you’re shredded.
