Rogue MG-4 Review - A Bar I Want to Love But...

The Rogue MG-4 has really been messing with me. For everything I love about it there's another decision I question. Rogue Fitness has created a hell of a bar with the MG-4 cambered bar but the price and a few features have me racking my brain in this review.

[@GlucksGym]

This thing's got me all kinds of messed up so let me know your thoughts on it in the comments!

[@carps_gym]

Yeah buddy

[@BasementBrandon]

It's a bit weird that they don't offer a welded camber grip as they have several flat ones. I think if they had this as a higher tier option to a more budget option it would make more sense.

[@GlucksGym]

You may be onto something there

[@Massenomics]

This is my first Gluck’s YT video experience. Happy to be here for the journey now.

[@GlucksGym]

At least you didn't start on the early ones, they're awful 😂

[@shift3389]

“High prices come with high expectations” Nobody could have said it better. Outstanding review on this one.

[@GlucksGym]

Thank you!

[@HughLeFitness]

You summarized it best: overpriced, overbuilt and unnecessary. For a fraction of the cost, I would stick with their competitors.

[@GlucksGym]

I really tried to love it and like a lot about it but at this price it's hard to forgive much

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

Great review, man! I can tell you really put a lot of thought into it. I really enjoy using my elite FTS ACB and I see no real reason to ditch it for this bar. Like you mentioned, many features on this bar are nice but not necessary. Adjustable handles, rotating sleeves, and even knurling are all cool features but not a must. This bar is definitely a luxury item.

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks. You're right on both accounts. It's a little overbuilt and hard to justify and these videos take a ton of time!

[@pob1845]

I own this bar...but still waiting to order the handles 🙂 I had the kadillac just before...overall the kabuki felt more balanced...altought I prefer the rogue just because its all in stainless, knurling and its just overbuilt...who doesnt like overbuilt stuff! Great review, you covered all the angles. I think people were expecting too much from this bar...and yeah its overpriced...like many other rogue products.

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks! Glad to hear I wasn't far off.

[@highlander72b69]

Nice bar....definitely all the descriptions at the end.....I just bought a hyper bell bar from jayfitness....it’s a game changer for me as it turns dumbbells into a barbell....especially helpful when I train clients who’s gyms don’t have plates....plus it holds 100lb dbells either side......I’d like u guys to check this thing out.....plus Whynie will be happy it’s only $140!.....I’m a 30+ yr fitness trainer fairly new subscriber and I love your content.....

[@babygiantbarbell1014]

Gluck I think you did a great job presenting this bar. The idea is interesting for the reason you pointed out about different people using it. I had not even considered that. Aside from that though, there is no reason this bar should be priced as high as it is. You can move the handles? Neat. The other bars that are a fraction of the price come with “extra handles” that are already set? Hmm. Rogue missed the mark with this one. It happens though, their batting average is still pretty good.

[@GlucksGym]

yeah that price is really where some of that criticism comes from. Your expectations get higher as the price rises.

[@Jamesah]

Thanks!

[@phenoxfitnessnutrition4189]

[@victorrasilla]

I was looking forward to this but couldn’t do that price point. For that scratch I’ll just stick with dumbbell presses if I want flexibility in hand position.

[@GlucksGym]

I hear you. That was a tough pirce to get over and I'm still not sure I'm over it

[@GraveyFit]

I would love to see a comparison review of all the camber bars. Although selfishly bc that is likely the next thing I want to buy and I'm in holding pattern on new racks and larger equipment until spring.

[@GlucksGym]

Oh it's on the list! The Kabuki Kadi bar review comes out tomorrow then I'll start putting it all together.

[@wantubod]

A comparison video would be great. The bar looks great but way too much $$ for a specialty bar. To me the sweet spot would’ve been at $400.

[@GlucksGym]

I figured it would've been 500 with some handles. I didn't quite see this one coming. I think a comparison would be good vid!

[@MelloHubb]

Damn, I really wanted to buy this bar for a tricep blaster and to overload the chest. I might wait for them to come out with a updated model after this review.

[@williamturner9107]

I think a comparison would be awesome. In terms of specialty bars, a multigrip is in the future. Reviews like this help me a lot with making those decisions. As for this bar, I’m left wanting more from it, but I do like the idea of being able to dial it in

[@GlucksGym]

Yeah I'm with you there. The comparison should be fun, not we just wait to see what Rogue does with that Kabuki bar.

[@williamturner9107]

@@GlucksGym that I’m definitely curious about. Might sway me in that direction, but we’ll have to wait and see

[@bradleykaan6281]

For bars with oddball weights I'll usually throw on some change plates to get it to a 'normal' weight (135, so start out with 35s on each side for a 65lb bar) and then do the math from there, costs a little bit of brain power in the setup but easier to work through the sets

[@GlucksGym]

Unfortunately I refuse to acknowledge the existence 35s but I admit the math isn't actually hard but you know... Jokes. I've done similar though and I adjust pretty quick it's just hard remembering which bar weighs what.

[@JGoodman333]

Being a previous owner of the rogue mg-3, I couldn't get over the width of the tubing. Sold it during the shortage of gym equipment and upgraded to the Kabuki bar and never looked back.

[@GlucksGym]

This one also really doesn't need to be as large as it is especially if they're not going to utilize the full size.

[@cameronmiri4020]

You’re the man Gluck.

[@BartTrojanowski]

Great shirt! Purchased.

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks 😊 seriously appreciate it!

[@vintageweightspgh]

As much as I want knurled handles on a camber multigrip bar, I refuse to pay extra for the multiple grips for my multigrip bar. Maybe Rogue will toss in some handles for Matte Black November? (Not likely)

[@GlucksGym]

That would be nice 😂 it's a bit of a silly idea. I think they should have included s 2 or 3 pairs in the price and just let you select but this makes it look cheaper than it really is

[@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472]

All of these multgrip bars have handles that are spaced too close together. I find the best width for chest growth to be 32 to 34" wide. All of these multi grip bars have narrow spacing with the widest being 26" apart. Which is gonna result in more tricep stimulation vs pectoral stimulation.

[@GlucksGym]

yeah I made a note about that somewhere in the video, it's a lot of triceps and I'd have liked another set of holes or 2

[@Sobersunrise]

Great video! Sadly this piece is nearly a grand fully kitted out up here in Canada, so it ain't coming home anytime soon 😅

Really interested in a review of the Rogue CB-4 (Double T Bar). Haven’t found a single review yet on KZbin.

[@GlucksGym]

Basement Brandon ordered it so I'd wait see what he says. Unfortunately these Rogue videos cost me way too much to keep up with for what they bring in so I skipped it.

[@Hugh_Ganus]

Never really noticed how sweet they grey rack is.

[@GlucksGym]

It needs some decorations around it!

[@Demothones]

I have bad shoulders and barbell bench is kind of hard on them. I have a flat multi grip bar that I absolutely love but it is not nearly as nice as this thing. That might be my next upgrade. Great video. Also, I had a feeling that you were an engineer of some sort.

[@GlucksGym]

Technically I teach engineering so don't give me too much credit 😂 it's a good bar for sure.

[@Demothones]

@@GlucksGym One my best friends was on the path to becoming an engineer when he had an epiphany of sorts. He said he realized that he didn’t want to spend his life trapped in a large box looking at a smaller box with a mouse and keyboard. I have trouble picturing you as a cubicle drone so it makes sense that you are an instructor. That’s not meant to be a dig. I don’t know what kind of engineer you are but presumably there are still uncomfortable amounts of math involved. I respect that. I don’t envy it but I respect it.

[@GlucksGym]

Haha there are. I basically teach a few levels of it from the run stuff all the way up to advance placement where it's too much math and less exciting. Wynie is actually a software engineer so that is her life atm, a box looking at a box but at least she decorated one of the boxes 😂

[@Demothones]

@@GlucksGym No offense but hard pass. I try to avoid doing math in public. I was a military engineer for a while in the Army. It’s very much different than a civilian engineer but there was still plenty of math.

[@markhalstead2386]

Sticking with my Kabuki Kadillac bar.

[@GlucksGym]

Understandable but I'm a little upset Rogue made it harder for me to pick on Kabuki after this one

[@MetalsForBrunch]

Did you give the mg4cn a try? i think all the balance issues are fixed with the mg4cn. I got the MG4CN in all stainless handles/sleeves on sale for $442 shipped to me and it came with nylon washers. I believe the rotating sleeves help stabilize the bar but this specific version is unbalanced due to its size.

[@GlucksGym]

Yeah I've got it. It's in the cambered showdown vid. Between that and the be version I think they watched this review 🤣

[@javiersgym]

My biggest complaint, is the “transformer bar,” portion. Like you said, I feel that was it’s biggest appeal. Being able to swap grips, pull the sleeves of, etc. the fact you have to pay more for “multi-grips,” and you can’t easily swap things around is a bummer. In that case if it is a “set it and forget it,” bar, is it better at that price than what’s already on the market? Not sure. I was already ready to refinance my house for one of these but I’ll pass. I really don’t mind over spending for over built, unnecessary gym pieces lol, for me it’s more so space. Quality over quantities for sure. Again, I’d only get this for the “ease,” of swapping handles around as friends and my GF train with me all the time. Since that doesn’t seem as easy of an option no thanks. I’ll wait for that rogue/kabuki bar😉. Oh yeah, great review as always 😊🙃. Seriously though, I appreciate the time you take in doing these reviews. 👍🏽

[@GlucksGym]

Thank you! Few probably realize videos like this take 20ish hours from start to finish so I appreciate you noticing. Glad to see my points weren't lost on this one.

[@zaineridling]

​@@GlucksGym Actually, I do realize how much time it takes, especially given that you seem to edit/cut ten minutes of content per video just to keep a crisp, creative video release each week. I imagine you spend 25-36 hours per video, in part because of all the things you've eliminated from the script. Thursday is great for me. Thanks. Please don't burn out. Take a month or two off when you can.

[@GlucksGym]

@@zaineridling the almighty algo won't allow that but luckily I'm a teacher so these next 2 months will be a "break". It's definitely a lot but if I get to 30 hours for a video you can shoot me yourself

TU from the HG DC!

[@sagaking9736]

You might miss one point but you can add it in your comparison video. The compatibility with non-Rogue racks. Does it fit well with your REP rack?

[@GlucksGym]

I showed it in a pic and mentioned it in this video but I probably should've taken a better pic. It fits at 40" wide but it's a very tight fit. In the comparison I'll do a better job on that one.

I wonder what is going to happen with this now that Kabuki and Rogue have teamed up to manufacture/sell the Kadillac Bar? I found that press release odd from Rogues perspective given the release of this bar.

[@GlucksGym]

Yea I mentioned that in this one, I'm waiting to see but it's a win win for Rogue because they can get a piece of that pie as well.

[@GoreckiFit]

Love it, over built, over priced and completely not necessary. That’s the majority of most of our home gym purchases right?!? Unfortunately due to shoulder issues and owning the Elite FTS American Cambered bar that didn’t help the pain free pressing, it’s a hard pass for me. Good luck on the journey to doing this full-time!!

[@andie_pl]

I had the OG Elitefts american cambered bar and wish it had knurl on it and the sleeve powder coat would chip like crazy. This bar looks like it hits all my asks from a cambered bar. Because im not looking to be pushing 315 on these kind of bars i'd probably get the short sleeves and just get one additional set of angled handles. Already have the kaddy and think they are both different enough to have both

[@GlucksGym]

I've enjoyed it so far though if I could go back I'd have gotten the short sleeve version. If I could be really picky I'd get stainless handles just for the looks (but leaves the sleeves as is) and if it had one more set of holes I'd probably tweak my setup to get 4 pairs on there.

[@andie_pl]

@@GlucksGym I like that you got the black versions, it honestly looks more unique to me than the stainless counter parts and probably more cost effective tbh. unless youre living in humid ville the black will probably hold up fine over time

[@GlucksGym]

@@andie_pl it'll hold up and I installed a split unit last year so there's really no need for stainless but that didn't stop me from debating it (the price did 😬)

Compare the bars for sure. I can only get bells and rogue in Canada though and so far bells seems like the better bet.

[@GlucksGym]

[@DJIngoB]

This strikes me as a piece for which Rogue has a bunch of plans, but are keeping it under their hat until things settle. It also illustrates the law of diminishing returns, as there's really only so many features for bars before it becomes ridiculous. I like the drive to innovate, and appreciate the effort, but I honestly think Titan nailed it when they added knurling to their MG handles. That was the last improvement that was really needed, IMO.

[@GlucksGym]

You've yet to see the Maverick bar 😯 now there's some features.

[@slo232000]

looks like a solid bar but couldn't agree more with your comments on this. Love Rogue's products but they are way overpriced and they have probably outpriced budgets for people's home gyms they want to setup. One company i've purchased products from is Archon Fitness. Their products are solid and a fraction of the price from Rogue and my checking account thanks me too.

It's a bit much on price but with a few tweaks I think it would've been exceptional. Perhaps for the right person I suppose.

[@GlucksGym]

I'd prefer not to have to defend any corporations 😕

Better than roids and custom car spoilers!

[@GlucksGym]

Cheaper too 😂

I think it may have to be done!

You weren't too hard on Rogue at all, their eventual V2 will make a lot of the tweaks you point out. I have a blemished Kaddilac bar and love benching with it, but if Rogue makes it will knurled handles that are the same thickness as it is...

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks Joe. You may be right and if so I'll take all the credit 😂 if that's what they come out with I'll pick it up and review/compare it.

another bad multigrip bar on the market. I don't know how rogue went so wrong. I think the only one I like on the market is american barbell T bar.

Seems like a great idea with bad build quality the way Rogue has been known for.

[@GlucksGym]

The quality excluding the welds is awesome. I think eventually they'll get a rig up so the welds are done by robots but what do I know

[@ultimaetsolder]

Rogue is stingy. I bought a monkey pull up bar. Zero hardware include. I complained to their service dept and they begrudgingly sent me nuts and bolts. At first they told me to buy the hw at Home Depot.

[@GlucksGym]

hahaha. When was this? Those are supposed to include the hardware.

I think the people have to respect your track record at this point

[@mach5jeep]

I appreciate the quality of the bar but for the most part it is overpriced. A gimmick at best. 99% of the time you will put the handles in the same place Titan welded theirs. On the other hand you should be able to do more pull ups after buying the Rogue bar since your wallet will be empty

[@GlucksGym]

ahahahahah that pull up line

[@Iron-and-strings]

I love kabuki stuff, but damn I can’t stand duffin, his f-ing ego drives me nuts and seems to only be getting worse. I will not be buying their stuff any more and will go back to rogue.

[@agonz91]

The only people buying these are reviewers and Rogue fanboys, imo. For me, my $120 mutli-grip bar is great.

[@GlucksGym]

It did sell out day one so... Maybe a few people as evidence by my IG feed 😂 which MG bar do you have?
