Choosing a Barbell: Additional Considerations

Yesterday I wrote about the different types of knurling a barbell may have. I also wrote about how much knurling should cover the barbell. If you missed it, you can read that here.

Those considerations are important when buying a barbell for your home gym. But you should also consider a few other specs when purchasing a barbell.

For example, do you want single or dual knurl markings? How much tensile strength should it have? And what does the Oxidation Rate have to do with a barbell?

I answer all of these questions and more in this video:

“Knurl markings” help you place your hands in the same place every time. Powerlifting marks are closer to the center while olympic lifting marks are closer to the sleeves.
