I was under the impression that it was widely known that PFs do not have barbells, squat racks, or power cages, as well as having the "Lunk Alarm" etc etc. I don't think I've ever been in one but I've heard and read all this repeatedly over the years.

Edit: I mean Olympic barbells and plates, not fixed-weight bars

yeah, PF doesn't have regular barbells. Instead they have smith machines, which are barbells on a guide that you can rack at any point if you need to. You put plates on them same as you would a barbell. I squat and deadlift with them just fine.
