Why do you recommend a more expensive bar though? I am pretty sure I have that cheap one and it seems fine, but I have no idea I guess! So, what's the difference?
If it's the same bar I did research on, the bearings inside are plastic and will break down way faster. The more expensive ones "spin" better as well, which can be important for certain lifts.

The bar can also bend, and stay bent if too much weight is put on.

It's kind of like putting the best tires you can afford on a car,because it's the part closest to the road. Same with the bar, it's the closest to your body.
