My gym's barbells are all bent from deadlifting.

How bad is it to use a warped bar for bench press?

Probably not bad at all unless it looks like a horseshoe.

Not to go off on a tangent but it's literally impossible to get a bent barbell from deadlifting. Heavy rack pulls will do it though.

Unless it’s a cheap one that’s not rated for higher weights

Usually they break or bend on squats as well

For real heavy weight, I wouldn't use it.
