Eleiko or Ivanko
« on: May 11, 2009, 03:47:16 AM »
My gym's owner wants to buy more equipment regarding the increasing number of powerlifters training there. What is best choice as far as price/quality is concerned: Eleiko or Ivanko?

Thx!

I think Eleiko are outstanding when it comes to durability.

They've also stepped up the knurling recently.

A few years ago I would've considered Leoko to been better for deadlifting due to the deadly knurling, but lately the knurling on the Eleiko is just as good while not ripping your hands to pieces.

If your gym's owner is wise, he will go with Eleiko, and perhaps invest in the Danish ER-Equipment rack as well. That one is just absolutely awesome.

JMO though...

Wish I had a gym near me that had that sort of stuff  :(

used to deadlift with a leoko bar, the knurling is awesome, it is printed in your skin at the end of a heavy set, but you 'll never fail your grip
