That's actually going to work out a lot better for me. I don't need anything real pretty. I just need something with some knurling on it so that we have a better time deadlifting. I'm at World's Gym in Terrytown (one of the last hardcore gyms on the Westbank) and they have a lot of strong bars, but the grips are very worn. $50 dollars is definitely a bargin and I'd be thankful for whatever you could spare. I can drive up there and pick it up whenever you're ready for me. Thanks again! take care.
