Rogue AGGRO Power Bar Unboxing & Impressions! - (Sharpest Barbell in the World?!)

✅ Click the link to get the BEST price on the Rogue AGGRO Bar! - garagegymreviews.co/RogueAggro
Rogue Fitness is known to have, for most people, the best power bar in the world. The Rogue Ohio Power Bar. But, there are some crazy lifters who feel like the knurl could be even, wait for it, SHARPER.
That's where the Rogue AGGRO Bar comes in. It is, according to them, the sharpest they could make a bar.
So, today, I unbox it and give you my first impressions along with some deadlift action to see just how sharp it is.
Pray for my hands.

Sorry Coop, but that didn't tell us much. All we got was you saying "it's sharp" but without being able to touch it, we've no frame of reference. It would have been good to have macro shots of the knurling on both that bar vs some other bars of varying knurl depths (e.g. mild vs aggressive vs AGGRO), just so we can visualise the difference and get an idea of how it compares to other bars. That way, even though we can't touch the bar ourselves, we can imagine the difference. Some other visual representation may have been useful too. You talk about the abrasiveness on the cardboard, so why not rub some cardboard on different bar knurling to show how much it eats away at it?

I have the same bar, and it took me a couple of weeks to determine to keep it, because it was seriously annoying to the point of painful to use. Almost 2 years later, I don't even notice it. In fact, it taught me the importance of both gripping the bar as hard as you can, and not letting the bar shift even a millimeter on your back during squats, otherwise you're in a for a bloody surprise.

[@GreddyS14]

I used a cordless circular saw to get my rogue barbell out of the packaging. A bit unnerving, but it worked like a charm

[@RraMakutsi]

In terms of packaging, I bought a Voodoo bar from X-Mark last year when I started my home gym... their tube uses screws to seal the ends instead of staples, and it was a breeze to open. Sure, it's not a Power Bar, or a Kabuki, or anything else fancy, but their package design team gets strong marks from me after seeing what you had to go through to get this cheese grater unwrapped, lol

[@NiSE_Rafter]

How has the Voodoo bar been treating you? Does the chrome paint peel off the collars like they do on my skullcrusher bar? I like the feel and the knurling, but I'm still finding shiny chrome flakes all over my gym floor from that bar..

@@turtlepowersf It has been treating me very well... I use Kabuki plates, which do not have the smoothest finish, and I have not once had any kind of flaking, peeling, rusting, etc. No issues at all in fact, other than working the way a well made bar should :-).

Coop, awesome review, I agree 100% with you, the unboxing experience is important. I only got to unbox 2 power bar and this need to be improved. For the price we pay, I dont think it would add more cost but the benefits would be significant. Also, end cap….man, seriously they can do anything better than this? They need to be different from one finish to the other…doesnt cost much to do so. Especially with all the profits they engaged during pandemic. This said…you’re the best, I enjoy all thr reviews even thought some products doesn’t interest me!

[@thomasbrown7328]

Coop, develop a product like fat grips but it goes on bars that have a more passive knurling and the add on has a sharper knurling. It would be a fun challenge for some of us masochistic types to see how much we can deadlift with the grips on. My wife’s Bella bar is so darn passive! (Thank goodness we have a Pyrros bar and Kabuki Trap bar with such phenomenal knurling).

[@stephencaserta2969]

I could see it being really helpful with straps or grips.

Also +1 for the end cap, it should at least have a different colour , it's a fair criticism

[@kozmo7]

Completely agree. It’s such a bummer considering other bars at this price point give more shits about that detail

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

That sharp center knurl would be GREAT for squats. I imagine it would catch your shirt and stay put like no other bar. I wouldn't deadlift with it, but I might bench with it if I had lifting gloves. That knurl would catch the gloves and almost guarantee a no-slip lift.

Cheers! Been waiting for this review. Got to try low bar squats = add option to get standard knurl in centre...

[@BM-si2ei]

I have a similarly aggressively knurled bar from Rep (Powerbar EX Deep Knurl) and it took me about 3-4 months to get used to it for low-bar position squats. I had a rash that sometimes bled where I normally placed the bar for that entire time. But it also trained me to not let the bar move even a millimeter while on your back and squatting, and ~18 months later I've not had a problem with it. No rashes or even marks on my back when I squat now.

Really looking to hear some feedback on the 2X AGGRO, which will probably be the best sellar. Specifically, where does it slot in when compared to the OHP in bare or stainless, the OH deadlift bar, and the Texas Deadlift bar, all with no finish or stainless.
