Is it worth having keeping my beater bar when I buy a better bar?

Why have I seen so many of these photos? Is this just an asian thing where you finish your daily work and decide to stack bars on the newbie? Does this align the weightlifting chakras? How many bars can he hold? I need to know OP.

Will you use your old bar after getting a new one? This should easily answer your question.

Mohamed Ihab (Ehab?) - he's an Egyptian lifter who posts all sorts of weirdness on his instagram.

If the old bar doesn't spin, it will just feel awful after you get an olympic bar that spins. Its so much better to do even front squats with that.

It's a 31mm bar, and I've got tiny, Trumpian hands. I'm getting a 28mm bar, and I'm assuming that I might just use it for everything. I'm not moving a lot of weight, so I'm assuming it's not going to fuck it up, but I'm curious if people find it helpful to have a bar they don't really give a shit about in addition to a nicer bar.

Keep it, you can use it to perform different lifts without having to deload and reload the bar. You can have one for rack/bench workouts, and one for floor workouts. And depending on how many played you have you can have one already loaded for your next set.

use it for rack pulls

If you have the space to keep multiple bars, have at least one decent bar without center knurling and one with.

The first would obviously be better for oly, should have more whip, and possibly a thinner bar. The other would be the opposite, for B/S/D. Once you put enough weight on the the bar to cause deflection during movement due to momentum you're going to feel the difference. By the time you get heavy enough to see static deflection you're going to need multiple bars no matter what

Rack pulls maybe depending on what you pull from. Can't really think of any other exercise that could fuck up your bar.
