Thanks

I can not imagine needing that kind of strength for something that a
human in going to use. What diameter is the bar? What is the
maximum weight that is going to be on the bar? My guess is that an
ordinary barbell is made of something like A36.

It is a thin bar, holding possibly 500 lbs on ends, held possibly in
almost one point.
