How much weight does a standard Olympic bar can handle before it starts bending?

I dream of having so much weight on my bar that it bends, like a licorice.

Depends what brand the bar is. Ivanko says that around 200,000 PSI is around standard for commercial gyms. Read here for more details:

A bar will start to bend a little at 225, but it will just reshape.
