It will likely last you a long time, it you aren't doing 3pl8 or doing 4pl8 all the.time it's fine, they all bend it eventually, some sooner than others
don't buy a barbell
you won't develop your chest and you will break your back, or even worse, have a nice day
buy a pair of 90lbs adjustae dumbbels and a bench and you're set.
Buy once cry once. Buying a cheap barbell is like building a stem wall or foundation for your house and skimping on the rebar. Plus it should last a lifetime.
If you're fine with understanding that you will have to buy a new one down the line no matter what, then go for it. Just make sure the tensile strength isn't low enough that it'll kill you until you get a better quality one.
At that point you can use the shitty one for rack pulls or landmines until it's too fucked to use
never cheap out on a barbell. spend at least 300 on a reliable name brand one
Why???
For a beginner doing simple exercises it doesnt matter
it will have no resell market when you need to upgrade so you basically pissed away $100 on garbage
since covid you can get rid of anything weight related extremely easily regardless of quality
I'm sure people want to pay msrp for a shitty quality used barbell
i mean you shouldnt expect to get msrp selling anything used but i'd have no problem selling a $100 for $70 and it would be gone same day
Why sell it. Keep the shitty ones for landmines.
Proper monetary allocation for home gym equipment is below. Anyone that disagrees is a pole smoking gay.
Bench
Cage
Barbell
Weights
>spend $100 to get jacked at home.
Yeah sounds like a good deal to me tbh
You sound poor, you should stop being poor.

Better to get gaining muscle now rather than waiting for the perfect piece of equipment, buy cheap, use now, save up, sell cheap one, buy better one.

I'd say you'll be fine mate.
No, you cant. Want to be a garden gnome about it? Have fun racking a bent bar.
