How much weight does it take to bend a barbell even slightly?
The amount of weight required to bend a barbell even slightly depends on several factors, including the length of the barbell, the material it is made of, and the diameter of the bar. Generally, a longer barbell will require more weight to bend than a shorter barbell, and a barbell made of a stronger material will require more weight to bend than a barbell made of a weaker material. The diameter of the bar also plays a role, with a thicker bar requiring more weight to bend than a thinner bar.
As a general rule of thumb, a barbell with a length of 7 feet and a diameter of 1 inch will require approximately 225 pounds of weight to bend it even slightly. However, this is just a general estimate, and the actual amount of weight required may vary depending on the specific barbell in question.
