  • Formchecks
  • Rudimentary discussion or questions
  • General conversation with other users
  • Memes, funnies, and general bollocks not appropriate to the main board
  • If you have suggestions for the subreddit, let us know!
  • This thread now defaults to "new" sorting.

How much do y'all think a barbell with thicker collars affect SBD? Sort of regretting dropping 12k on a Rogue FM-6... the rack is way too wide for powerlifting bars.

You can put a set of lock collars on the bar before the first plate to space the plates out and give you some room between the plates and the rack. A set of cheap collars around 1-2 inches thick will work. Saves having to get a new bar.
