Hi all,

My bar is about 23 years old, rusted and the grip is non-existant from being spray painted years ago. I want to buy a new Olympic bar and wasn't sure if it mattered what brand/type or length I get. I like the black bar over a chrome bar and I'm looking for something with a good grip for deadlifts. I'm only going up to 425lbs. on my squat. Any suggestions on brand or type? Is there anything still made in America and of good quality? Thanks.

Riley
