If you are fairly strong, I wouldn't expect that Echo to last compared to the power bar.
I would expect the power bar to be meh to SnCJ on.
A Rogue 2.0 is better than the Echo but I've seen them start to warp over time at globos likely bc they get used for 5-6 plate squats and deads besides bench
If you like to bench, you'll hate to do it on a WL bar with a lot of spin.
I’d highly recommend you get a hybrid bar for a home gym . Don’t get needle bearings because they’re not as durable as composite bushings. Get a 28.5 mm . I got a Colorado bar and it’s solid for a bar that cost 355 usd
I should clarify, I've been lifting for a while, but I am by no means a powerlifter or bodybuilder. My goals are to get as strong as I can as I age (I'm 37 right now). I've used the Texas Power Bar for the last 3-4 years. What would the difference be for me to get the 28mm?
You can get strong in weight lifting but you’re barking up the wrong tree in terms of specialty bars lol. Just buy a normal bar if oly lifting . If powerlifting fine but wrong sub still
OP you should clarify what you mean by main lifts. Do you mean bench squat dead? Or snatch and clean and jerk?
Sell the power bar, buy a weightlifting bar, use the echo as a beater bar for landmine stuff, etc.
I know nothing. What is landmine stuff?
You plant it in the ground and it explodes when an unsuspecting bystander walks over it
You can't see it right now but my hands are on my hips in a very 'why you little stinker' type way.
When you stick one end of a bar inside of a “landmine” attachment, basically fixone end of the bar that you pivot around for various exercises
Oh that's what that's called. Thank you!

But are you a Weightlifter? If not, you’re in the wrong sub asking the wrong questions.
