Well, It’s nothing to write home about but this felt infinitely better than it did last week. I noticed that the left side of the bar is lower than the right as I’m lifting. I don’t know if the issue is with me, the floor, or the bar. I will say that the bar seems to be defective. It appears to be slightly torqued and the handles are a bit crooked. I feel much less balanced using this bar compared to other hex bars I’ve used.

This being side, I do tend to favor one leg, so this could be what’s going on. To add to the complexity of the situation, the floor of our apartment is far from perfectly flat. At any rate, I was happy with pulling 355×8 today and I look forward to some heavy singles next week!
