Olympic Bars - almost as difficult a decision as buying a new car...many makes and models to choose from.  Which is right for you?

• First - All of the bars offered at Hammerhead Fitness are worthy of a commercial gym setting.  Don't think you are settling for something inferior when looking at the lower priced bars.
• Second - You DO get what you pay for, but consider how many hands will be touching the bar on a daily basis.
• Third - Center Knurling - Do you wrestle with the "Bear" frequently?  How 'bout Cleans - are they on your whiteboard at least weekly?  If yes to any of these - get a bar without center knurling or put tape on it if you've gotta have it.
• Fourth - Needle Bearing Bars - If you like the best, go ahead.  Great bars with great action.  Easier on the wrists.  And more of your force is concentrated on getting the bar where you want it.
