Another, although minor, issue is that preset barbells usually have a smaller bar that's easier to grip (a smaller circumference). If you have the opportunity to use a regular barbell, it will help you prepare for the bigger bar with bigger loads, rather than having to switch only when you can deadlift more than 80 lb.

Thanks! I did notice that the cirucmference is smaller. When I last did conventional deadlifts (Stage 2) I was doing 60 lbs. I started at 40 lbs so I am slowly getting there!
I find my grip gives out before my legs...need to work on grip moer and using the thicker bar would probbly help with that too.
