I know Olympic weighs more and cost more, but is there any other difference? Does one give an advantage over another in muscle growth?

Does it matter if you have regular weights/bar then Olympic weights/bar?
Thursday, December 29th, 2011How much can this weightlifting bar safely hold? Not sure?

Hi
I have a 5ft hollow steel weightlifting barbell, and I’m starting to get a lot stronger. Besides the fact that I’m running out of space for weights on the bar, I’m worried that it might give out. That’s a bad thing when its suspended above my chest. 
I can fit a max of 70kg (about 155 pounds) on the bar, but it only came with about 35kg. It flexes a little, should I be worried? I fully intend to buy a new bar (6ft olympic – no strength worries there), but in the meantime, is my current one safe?
Thanks

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

How should i lift weights?
Friday, April 1st, 2011I am lifting weights for wrestling (highschool olympic), and am looking mostly for muscular endurence. Right now i have been lifting 8-12 reps and 3-4 sets. But while doing this i for every new set i increase the weight. For example:
Set 1: 20 lbs. 12 reps
Set 2: 25 lbs. 10-12 reps
Set 3: 30 lbs. 8-10 reps
Is this good or would it be better to do 3 sets at one weight?
Thanks in advance, and please show how you know…
I know that changing the reps and sets occurs as you get stronger, but my main question is;
Is it better to lift weights increasing the weight for every set, or is it better to have one weight for every set?
