Personally, I'm partial to strengthshopusa's bastard bar. It's bling. If I was only going to have one bar that'd probably be it.
Thanks! I'll look into Rogue and strengthshopusa.

With regards to bars, the Rigue Ohio is very nice well regarded bar. It is a decent “do it all” item. It comes in many different finishes as well to suit your taste.
Thanks! I'm not sure. Every gym I've used just had the rack with the safety arms, not a full cage. What's the benefit of the cage? To keep you from falling backwards when using heavy weights?
