Consideration #1 I already had the sleeves from a bent bar.
Consideration #2 I DID NOT have it balanced from every angle.
Consideration #3 I had this done 3 years ago
Cost 225.00$
Had I known BEFOREHAND that I’d have to put close to the purchase price into it again there’s no friggin’ way I would’ve bought it. The jackass selling them was about as helpful as a screen door in a thunder storm. He was at the 2011 Heavy Lift Nationals in York. I was going to give him a piece of my mind right there but, being new to the USAWA, and competing in a USAWA event I thought it best to ignore him.
This bar has so much untapped potential in its non rackable, solid sleeve form. I would HIGHLY recommend getting this done if you can afford it!!
