I finally broke one of my barbells today. It has the threaded end bolts, so I knew when I got it it was only a matter of time before it broke. I am considering going with a Pendlay Rogue as my replacement. It's a pretty nice bar from what I understand, and it is knurled for PL and OL, which is cool. The most important thing is the sleeves use snap ring construction, so they should never break.

There are worse exercises than the DL for a breaking bar. Saying that, I hope your back is OK.
Replacement looks a bit pricey.
True enough Colin. My back will be fine. I just aggravated my old hip injury a little. The bar IS a bit pricey, and is probably more than I can really afford. However, I don't want to waste my money on another one that will just break. It is about the cost of two cheap bars, and it should outlast me. I expect I will just take the plunge. It is an investment in my health and safety. In the meantime I will not be deadlifting for a while until I get a new bar, which sucks because I really like deadlifting.
