90 days in on my current 5x5 stronglifts plan. My basic barbell is excellent; machining is very good, knurling just perfect for the amateur and beyond, bushings snug in the beginning are now starting to roll nicely. I don't think I'll be needing reed bearings in my lifetime, but my bushed/bronze barbell is just excellent.
Thanks Vulcan! You are on my referral list...
