Barbell advice

Hi all,

I am considering getting a barbell for weighted pancake mobility work. In your experience is there any major difference between a 5ft bar and a 7ft bar? I appreciate that a 5ft bar will be lighter than a 7ft but that is easily remedied. My question is more about the distance between my two hands when I have my shoulders externally rotated.

Thanks in advance

No, as long as the diameter isn't different (it probably won't be)

Offhand seated pancake work may potentially suffer; i use a grip that can not far off 2x shoulder width depending on the weight and variation. I can'tthink of anything else immediately that would use such a wide grip on a bar
