Question for lifters about deadlift bar - incels stay out

I realize none of you gentle souls lift weights so I'm aware that I'm pissing into the wind by addressing this question to you.

However, I ask you this: I understand that deadlift bars have more "whip" and that this is advantageous for the all important booty gainz. As an xx lifter, I don't deadlift a huge amount.

A flex bar is expensive compared to a stiff bar. I'd get it if I thought it could do me some good. Is there a specific amount one has to be able to lift to get good use out of a deadlift bar - or is a deadlift bar useful for those with modest lifting capacity?

all it helps you do is deadlift more weight by cutting your ROM down.

unless you are competing in something I don't think it really brings benefits to the average lifter and it sucks cause deads are really the only thing you want to do with it, it's too easily bent on anything else

Try raising 12 kids in a chicken shack with a dirt floor in puerto rico after your husband leaves you for a younger woman and report back to me on how that feels vs how the young woman shown feels. You may find that the young woman in the picture is about a thousand times happier - especially since her boss can't beat her with a mop handle. My great grand mother shot herself for a reason. You fukks go on about how great brats are, how women are soooo saad due to feminism. Meanwhile I'm jerking off with with beers in the fridge and whiskey in the cupboard thinking about how fukking lucky I am that I don't have to get my throat reamed. you fukkin idiots need a reality check

good point. I'd like to do hip thrusts in that spot ... so if I have it taken up with the deadlift bar I'd be less likely to do thrusts as well. Thank you for your advice.

I’ve hurt myself from deadlift bars in the past, so I’ll always take a stiff bar over a flexible bar. Pulling out the slack, the whip, and just the overall change in bar dynamics through the lift on a deadlift bar only makes sense to me if you pull sumo. I pull conventional, so the stiffer the bar the better. When I want the bar to move, it should move- not just have the slack pulled out first.

It helps once you can rep out more than 315. You can lift more, and I find it easier to break it off the ground. It honestly doesn't change the ROM by much, but it takes out the "deadlift" out of the deadlift, if you know what I mean. Basically, the two hardest parts of the deadlift (for me), is the liftoff, and the top lockout. A bar with whip, I can focus on the lockout as the liftoff is easier.

In all honestly, I don't do DL much anymore. Taxes my CNS where I can't even ride the next day, and I was getting to a weight where chance of injury was getting up there.

Thank you, LORD, my God.

Never used one. Just get a regular bar, some nice flat shoes, and practice your scream.

sumos are good for the booty, but I mostly just do conventional. I'm not seeing much so far to justify the huge price difference.

I'm not sure. It's possible you're thinking about this too deeply. I'm not sure it will create a monumental difference. However, I will say this: At my old gym, which was an oldschool bodybuilding gym, they had 2 old barbells and newer, chrome barbells. The older ones were a bit thinner and bendier. I loved those barbells. I would squat 315 with those and they'd flex a bit whereas the newer ones were very static. If that's what you're asking, then I would personally gravitate towards the bendier bar. It just felt so good.

If a person is at a point in their strength training where they have to ask this question, they are nowhere near a point where the DL bar would benefit them.

uugh. and I'd just decided on the static one.
I don't squat 315 though so I'm thinking they might feel the same.

that's good news for me. Just wanted to verify before I plunk down the money. I like the sound of the bendy bars, but if one isn't lifting enough to feel the difference, then why pay the money? I mean unless I could get Rob Gronkowski to come play caveman lifters with me, which is unlikely. Yet, one never knows ... do one?

Probably. They only begin to bend at a certain weight.

Maybe if you bend over and force hard enough?

Just make sure not to squirt out of the wrong hole and paint the yard an unpleasant color.

I could explain the mechanics of outdoor feminine pissing, but do you need such a lecture? LMK. It's a simple procedure. I spend way too much time outdoors to be expected to hold it. Pissing is, for some weird reason, a verboten topic on OF. Why though? Just how nasty am I? Everyone pees and I didn't think it was so vulgar.

oops. I could explain how this is done too, but then I'd get banned.

first someone needs to explain to me why pooping is so wrong. Then, at that point, I'll have to do some deep soul searching and determine how best to describe the adventure of pooping outdoors. I'll EARN that ban, by golly.

Hi Sweetie!!! There hasn't been a day that my pussy hasn't wept for missing you. (I can barely imagine your heartbreak at my inexcusable absence.)

As covered above, you'll lift more with a whippy deadlift bar, but you won't necessarily be stronger. I don't see a point for it for training strength. I lifted in a gym with a deadlift bar for a while and the one thing I miss the most is the smaller diameter. My current bar is 29mm. I don't know if there is a standard diameter for deadlift bars, but I'm seeing some at 27.5 and some at 27mm. I have decent sized hands but the slightly small diameter made quite a difference holding on to the bar through a deadlift set. For a woman, I'd guess the difference would be even more pronounced, although, if you use straps anyway that difference also doesn't matter.
