When I got back into lifting, it was at my friend's house, before I started my home gym. He started training with the Starting Strength method and picked up this bar. So my first year, I did a lot of 5’s on this bar for squat, bench, and deadlifts for a couple of years. He has been using that bar weekly for almost 10 years. So yes, I recommend this bar, and it holds up and is great for the main lifts, and great if you like a stiff bar and no whip for DL. The knurling is nice as well.
