Standard (1") shrug bar

I am looking for a standard (1") shrug bar. All I can find are olympic
(2") bars.

This one on Amazon is from NY Barbells.

http://www.amazon.com/Shrug-Bar-for-.../dp/B0002U2WWC

Then I went to the NY Barbells site:

http://www.newyorkbarbells.com/im-0022shr.html

They have both olympic and standard, but the standard is on backorder
for 6-8 weeks or more.

They also have that shrug cage that fits both:

http://www.newyorkbarbells.com/1360-wo.html

Home Gym has a square one, but only in olympic size:

http://www.home-gym.com/trbaolbar.html

This one from Eric's Gym has no raised handles and is olympic size:

PDA has a deluxe model, but it's very expensive.

http://www.fractionalplates.com/cgi-...&catalogno=2.6

This outfit has an open-ended design and a high price.

http://www.power-systems.com/nav/clo.../Bar/With/Legs

And there are several listings on eBay all olympic size. I also called
several local stores and they all have only olympic size.

So, can anyone suggest a source? Otherwise, I guess I'll wait for NY
Barbells to get them in.

A few questions:

1. What are the right dimensions? Most sites do not have dimensions.
One that did showed the opening to be 25" wide and 22: front to back.

2. Most of these have vertical handles, but a few have just horizontal
bars. Does this matter?

3. NY Barbells sells a stand for the bar. Is this necessary? he plates
will raise it up some.

Thanks for any help.

#1, why do you need one and #2, why hide your identity over something like
this?

He's not "hiding" his identity. It's his choice not to post his name and
nobody gives a shit about it except you, especially when he's asking about a
fucking shrug bar. In any case, why stop at posting your name? How about
address, phone, financial statement, resume, and recent photo? AFAIC your
cred is zilch if you don't post all of that. By sundown.

I thought I had anger mgmt issues, Rob, till I started reading your posts,
and they're only getting angrier and crazier. Lighten up and get some
fucking help before the venom coursing through your body kills you, man.

Your name is just plain "Burr"? Like Plato, Artistotle, Cher?

His name is Burt Burr. If you had been paying attention, this never would
have happened.

Well, at least you're not anonymous, Bert. Are you currently receiving
social security disability?

For 19 years he has refused to post his photos. I wonder if someone can get
his mugshot from the Federal Prisons?? That would be cool.

I ended up getting a custom shrug bar from PDA.

www.fractionalplates.com

I couldn't find anything ready-made that I liked.

I got their SSSSB (Standard Stainless Steel Shrug Bar).

http://www.fractionalplates.com/cgi-...&catalogno=2.5

I got it slightly larger and with oversized grips. The total price
came to just over $400 including shipping.

It arrived about a week ago. It took them 3-4 days to make it and 2-3
for the shipping.

This is a great piece of gear. Both shrugs and deadlifts are so much
easier. I wish I had it years ago.

Excellent workmanship.
