I was worried a 2-inch bar would wreck my grip, but it's actually made my forearms way stronger after a few months of rows and deadlifts. Went with the 5-foot since my rack is tight, and the shorter length still loads plenty of plates for me.

My grip strength has noticeably improved after just a few weeks of deadlifting with this bar, and the thicker 2-inch shaft really forces you to hold on tight.
