There's of course standard and Olympic, but then there's like 4 different sizes of Olympic bars with only the 7 foot one being the real 45lb Olympic bar, but then there's also different types of ways that the sides can spin. There's bushings, bearings, hybrids, different numbers of bearings. Bars can range from $50 to like $800. I thought it was going to be the easiest thing to purchase until I started researching it. Took me days to figure out which one I was going to get.
When I built my first pc like 15 years ago, research brought me to r/buildapc. It's where I ended up researching everything and the community and wiki was invaluably helpful. Then I found places like r/buildapcsales and realized Reddit was a pretty cool place and stuck around for another decade and a half or so.
Edit: I just figured out that I can actually link subreddits like that. Interesting.
