Would a 7 foot bar be good for power cleans, what should I be looking for?

Unless your competing, no need for an elieko bar yet (although I have jerked on one recently, and I must say, very smooth transition, definately notice the snap). -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
