I have to admit you make perfect sense. Now I have to read more about dimensions and reviews of SW 20” GOTO.
Weight doesn’t bother me, still deadlift every now and then 230kg for reps.
Not bad for 61 year old f..t 
Do you still lift Mike, just for keeping fit I mean?

You're welcome
230kg for reps at 61 is bloody awesome mate!
wow! I don't know what I might be able to pull if I went back into a gym today..? Pretty sure I would struggle to match you, maybe after a couple of months getting back in to it. I'm 57 now and I haven't lifted in a gym since 2005. At my peak in 2001, in the full deadlift (with no straps or suit) I did a set of 10 with 275kg and a single on 325kg (regular stance not summo), but my real bazar forte was the so called,
silver dollar deadlift (bar 19" off the floor) in which I pulled 475kg
without straps or a suit and a whopping 500kg with straps (but no suit!), it was World class at the time easily top 5, still is really
...I was just even more disproportionately strong in that particular reduced range than everyone else.
Here is Rauno Heinler, the current best in the World at this event, doing the current Silver Dollar Deadlift World Record last year, with an
amazing 580kg.
Ah sigh....those were the days, I do sweet FA now and my body is already starting to develop some arthritis, mainly shoulder, and old age body aches
Now go get that 20" Dob, I really want to upgrade my 18" to it too but my finance minister is pretty well at her limit
