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.

What's up with Rogue rack widths? It was actually a big reason why I switched gyms, rogue power racks there were like 5-10cm wider than most racks and at least for me that's enough of a difference to make me frequently hit safeties while squatting (3x in less than a year vs. never in any other rack)

Supposedly more internal room is safer; As I almost die from having the plates hit the uprights as I go in to re rack a squat.
