In this part of the Home Gym Buyers Guide series I go through a few key points to look at and consider when buying a barbell for your own home gym.
I highly recommend the Texas Power Bar which can be bought from here on 0% finance: http://www.savagestrength.co.uk/gym-equipment/bars/olympic-bars/texas-power-bar-1.html
If you are after a pretty cheap and quality barbell then strength shop do one that is 28mm, sharp knurled but has a 700lb rating (not that it really matters to mere mortals like us)... it also has end caps. I have no experience of the bar myself but if it wasn't for the fact I had my heart set on a TPB since I laid eyes on one... I would have probably gone for this bar:

I can highly recommend the following sites for purchasing equipment for your home gym:
