Knock Off vs Fixed Bar in Weight Over Bar

[o1d_dude]

My hat is off to the guys who throw with knockoff bars all season long. If I had to do it--I'd wind up rocking back and forth, talking to myself

It's a confidence game. You have to believe you can do it.

That's about it.

I remember at Enumclaw last year, technically KO went 34' 6" or something with the sheaf. Except that what he actually did was plow the sheaf straight into the bar, just maybe two inches above the sheafs center of momentum. That bar bent down a good foot or more and the sheaf crawled over it. So did he "really" clear 34' 6"? Well yeah. Uh. I guess.

For practice standards, the fixed bar is a lot less expensive to make.
