You don't need an elieko bar to get stronger. This is one of those few times where it is more expensive to buy online. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

Many times you will find what you need dirt cheap from someone who bought one for Christmas or for a resolution and then found out there was work involved. :big_smile: -------------- Strength and Honor!
