The Rogue Aggro 3x is advertised as the sharpest bar available. Will I live to lift another day?

Great review. 1) you are the luckiest person when it comes to getting grab bag. 2) Coop has soft hands because he is reviewing all AI gym equipment. 3) I used a 2x and it was sharp but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of the first time I used a TX power bar with virgins lifting hands. Haha.

I have the Aggro 2x which I believe is the best version of the OPB. It replaced my previous OPB. The original isn't aggressive enough, and although I didn't get a chance to feel the X3, I'd imagine it's similar in feel to the ISF deadlift bar I owned, and that knurl was too much for a daily driver, so that's how I made my choice for the X2. No RAGRETS

I have the nunchucks which has the 2x knurling and the Rep Deep Knurl. I was completely spoiled by the knurling of the 2x after using the nunchucks. It's not even a comparison. The "Deep" Knurl used to feel amazing. I literally felt Rep's bar after the 2x and it felt like a smooth stone. It's not even in the same ball park any more. Don't get me wrong, I still use and love my Rep bar. But there is no comparison, 2x feels much better than Rep's

If I couldn't do a full work out with the 3x Aggro I don't think I'd spend that much money on it for occasional use. Thanks for the info. As I've said previously, you've helped me make several decisions on lifting gear/equipment. Truly appreciated.

There are a lot of bars out there that could fit this. The REP Power Bar EX is great. They had a sale earlier this year for like $300 shipped, which is a steal for a SS bar. It's sharp, but the points are a bit blunted compared to the precise peaks on this aggro bar (at least they were on mine). I have a video review on it.

I have the 2X Aggro Power Bar and had the Standard Ohio Power Bar with black zinc before. I use the 2X Aggro Power Bar as my daily driver and i like it a bit more because the knurling is sharper. + I like that it is stainless so the look stays the same. (as compared to the black zinc) Also the bigger collars on 45 lbs aggro bar work better for me than the 20kg version because i dont need to use extra clippers between the collars and weights for the overbuilt rack i am squatting in.

Cerakote fills in some of the knurling and makes it more passive. It's not a good coating in that regard. Stainless is better for similar money.

Honestly I wish I saw this video before buying my Cerakote ohio power bar. The bar tends to slightly slip while dead lifting and benching. Coop’s over exaggeration of how sharp this bar is made me not even consider the agro bars.

Likely has more to do with the Cerakote than the bar itself. I have the Ohio Powerbar and it is great in terms of knurling, but adding a layer of cerakote will make it less pronounced.

I miss my SS OPB. Have been thinking of grabbing another one (or maybe an Aggro 2x). The only thing that has spoiled me is my 20LPI (lines per inch) aggressive American Barbell bar I have now. I need to do a video on that. The Rogue Squat bar is still fantastic, although I've only been using a power bar for squats as they don't use one in the USAPL meets I've been doing so it doesn't get as much use.

Insightful review. All of us soft handies can tolerate an aggressive knurl with only 135 on the bar. But I’d be leery of tearing skin - or at the least dreading painful training -- if I frequently used the 3x knurl with heavy loads. It’s telling that the strongest powerlifters aren’t clamoring for bars with super aggressive knurls in gyms or meets. I suspect they know that to stay healthy and competitive, you need to avoid ripping calluses and bruising your skin.

I do think there's a point of diminishing returns. This bar is sharp, but not to the point you can't use it, but most would prob just not prefer to given the choice.
