Texas power bar's one of the best values; compare the prices with what's available at Omni Fitness around 13th St. & Broadway, which has a decent selection and good prices, and Gym Source at 40 E. 52nd St., which has a better selection and is slightly more expensive but worth seeing. Gym source has a good selection of Hampton bars.

if you can afford it go olympic curl and straight bars.  Dumbells, i go with the weider adjustable you spin the collar on.  bowflex 55 lb adjustable seem to bulky for me, but the principal is great.
