Hmmm, I was thinking about getting my wife into this program, and planned on having her use my "standard" set where the 7' bar is only 20lbs. Put on a pair of 25s, you are only maybe 3" lower than a oly bar with 45s, and yet are only moving 70 lbs. I would think that would make a good choice for home exercisers new to deadlifts.
Its not like you will quickly outgrow the bar. It will hold about 400 lbs. And you can use the plates on your db handles.
