Eleiko's pricing looks steep, any alternatives? Only need bar that can sustain 150kg deadlifting at the moment.

I live with my parents. The house is SOOO PACKED there's no place for a small table also let alone a power rack.

Have to buy own apartment first. In a few years time...

If you're not a super hardcore powerlifter/juicehead/ego lifter and train in 5~12 rep range for lifetime. Most you all will hardly be touching 200kg on the bar ... ain't any 300 Ringgit bar gonna bend on that.

Unfortunately china barbell is getting worse nowadays. Those RM 300 barbell will bend on 150kg.

LOL quality drop. So far the cheap bars in my gym dont feel a thing when I RDL with 100Kg on them. Pretty solid I think can hold 250Kg. Usually those China bars got say on Tabao website how much max it can hold (-50Kg to be safe lol). Wonder believable or not.

I don't quiet get the logic here.
If you're training alone at home,you do not need to get an Olympic bar.
Just get the normal 5ft or 6ft bar with screw collars is sufficient enough.

Most of you won't even hit 100kg on the bench press and if you do I'd advise that you do it in a gym with spotters(it's safer)

Power rack bars are 999999999999x better than dumbass spotters. 100Kg bench press is something easily achievable within 2 years of good consistent effort.

It's not polite to call people who spot you dumbass.In the first place I'm sure it was you who asked for their assistance right.Nobody who don't you would walk up to you and say "hi,I'll be your spotter" and even if they do,you can always say no.

to bench 100kg needs good work out planning,not good consistent effort.
Good consistent effort should be translated to consistent workout days.

Anyway it's easier said than done.

I'm curious how do you come about this equation of 100kg bench press in 2years? why not 1 year,6months or 3years.
What's your formula?

I never ever asked for spot in my life before. Not even once. 2 years is bout the average to get it.

are you benching 100kg now or have you pass it already

Max is around 70kg now @ 66kg Bodyweight. Consistent training is around 1 year + if minus the setbacks I had. 70kg max cause i'm skeleton 66kg. Imagine if I bulk to 85kg? Will be very close to hitting 100kg edy. Seriously it's not that hard with day in day out consistent work.

If starting out, you might not need top of the line for everything. You can improve your equipment over time, depending on your preference, which may change.

For home setup, I'd be hesitant to go for really heavy weights for safety reasons. Coz there might not be people around in the event some accidents happen.

The home equipment that I've never regretted over the years are the 16kg and 25kg kettlebells.

That's why the No.1 essential home-gym equipment is a Power Rack.
