Larry Wheels almost injures himself.

At 4:35, it looks like Larry almost injures himself. As previously said, it's only a matter of time until he suffers an injury.

Why do these new power bars bend?  Olympic bars have some bend but power bars were always stiff. Now it seems the new power bars with serious weight it's giving these power lifters 6" of height to shorten the range of motion.

A great, complex question that needs immediate attention.

That is exactly why. The deadlift bars are thinner bar stock (27mm) and made to bend more at the start to shave distance.You start seeing them more when Sumo pulling got popular, but they aren't a tremendously new thing on the market. They were introduced in the early 80's, and being used in many smaller meets by the 90's, and are used by almost all of the big powerlifting feds now. The IPF is the only huge one I know that disallows it.

True - I’ve got an old Eleiko Olympic Bar and that’s got a bit of whip
And no doubt a fair amount at that sort of weight.
Also got a old Borg power Bar Jeez that Doesnt Give at all !!

No doubt a Very Strong Fella - Though using a Tough no give Bar like
My Borg bar would likey make a significant difference to these Deadlifts.

PS - does anyone know why photos of Getbig legend Melvin Goodrum have been circulating around lately? TA and I used to post alongside Melvin on MuscleMayhem way back in the day! Someone tried to cybersquat JasonArntz.com, and Melvin tried to buy it to give it back to Jason and Joanna Arntz, and got nothing but stick for his efforts, by both the Arntz', as well as some tossers on the board.

Off topic, but every bandwagon-jumper powerlifter (yesteryear’s CrossFit warrior) I see is a Sumo deadlifter and achieve one foot of bar travel.
