New- Burgener/ Rippetoe Bar from York
Hey I thought everyone might be interested in the description of the new bar York is putting out. It should be available later this month I believe and should be comparable in price to the Rogue bar.

What's that going to be worth?

Re: New- Burgener/ Rippetoe Bar from York
Sounds like it'll be in the $200 neighborhood, I imagine.
Cool! Couple concerns though: The shaft is 29mm? That's getting pretty thick for a OL bar I think. I'm sure it was done as a cost cutting measure, but the grip would start to become a problem I would think. I like the Pendlay Economy 28.5mm thickness. But sounds like this bar is more durable than the Economy... Extra 1/2" between knurling to help with the shin scraping? Is that enough? Does everybody keep the same stance? Seems like a pretty small area. But besides those two nits, hurrah! Glad to hear CrossFit is taking off enough for York to come out with a bar for it! |

Not everyone's stance is the same width for deadlifts, and Olympic lifts, but for people who use the correct stance, (feet right under the hips, where you can most effectively push at the floor or jump) the extra 1/2 inch of clearance is enough for most people to keep from sraping their shins on the knurled portion of the bar. For many people the regulation distance on the bar is slightly too narrow, this slight change was felt by Mark Rippetoe, who studies this stuff for living, to make the clear space wide enough that most people will be able to avoid scraping thier shins with the knurled portion of the bar. It is impossible to make a bar to specifically accomidate people who use a less efficient wide stance, as the width will vary from person to person. |

Sorry, I've been off line, but it looks like Ahmik was better able to answer the questions than I was anyway.

Re: New- Burgener/ Rippetoe Bar from York
not the cheapest bar ever though...
if you can only get one bar for everything, this sounds like a hit. I wish I knew more about the various bars before I got mine. I am getting more accustomed to the knurling of my Pendlay HD, but it still chews me up. Miss that Eleiko! |

Re: New- Burgener/ Rippetoe Bar from York
I love the feel of the York knurl, it's grippy but doesn't have that jagged feeling that many bars have. I also like the no-coating approach, it's awesome, can't beat the feel of steal! I can't wait to try this bar out.
