[@jumpinjack6350]

All bars used for general purpose should have center knurls, prevents bar from sliding when doing squats.

[@bewimotos]

i was wondering that, nice tip

[@Gold-oj8do]

Yes and no. If you're doing clean and jerks you would want a bar without a center knurl so the bar doesn't dig into your neck area.

[@Gold-oj8do]

​ pingufromindia Thank you for the question. When you do a clean, (where you bring the bar to the chest, neck, and shoulder area) before driving it up over head. That is when the middle of the bar can come in contact with the neck area. Or just below the neck area. That is why they manufacture bars with and without a center knurling.

[@Gold-oj8do]

pingufromindia Also, if you're doing front squats a center knurl is not usually the best. Most of the big Olympic lifters use a bar without a center knurl for the reasons stated above.

[@Gold-oj8do]

@pingufromindia Hi bud. If you're main lifts are dead lifts, squats and bench presses I would probably go with a center knurl. I use and own the Original Texas Power bar. Sharp knurl with a center knurl. I think that would serve you well. I also own a Rouge Bar without a center knurl. Very nice bar. In fact I just got off the phone with Rouge a couple of minutes ago and I want to buy their Freedom Bar. It's on back order. Have you seen that bar? It's sweet. If you go with the Texas Power bar make sure you get the original manufactured by Buddy Caps. If you just get one bar you can always add a second one later. The Rouge Freedom bar does not have a center knurl. Check their web site at Rouge Fitness. Lot of cool stuff there.

[@michaell874]

The one with the best grip is most important. Although I prefer a little more of a wider grip, one must be comfortable with how the barbell feels in his or her hands.

[@bob.from.accounting]

Rogue is down the street from me. It's so nice to be able to just go and pick up a piece of equipment that you are wanting. It's a great company with excellent equipment.

[@MrArapahoe]

For clarification, in a garage gym what do we need to look for in a bar? Cerakote? Zinc? Stainless steel?

[@GarageGymReviews]

Cerakote or Stainless Steel is ideal.

[@jasonjase8661]

If you get a stainless steel one in your humid gym and it rusts it is a low grade stainless (304 Chinese stainless) if you find a 316 north American stainless you can store your bar in the ocean and it won't rust

[@downwardspiral3252]

Allright dude...based on your review, and a bunch of other research, I just bought a Rogue limited edition "Black Friday" Ohio Bar with the Cerakote finish. It has identical specs as the Rogue Bar 2.0, plus the Cerakote finish...which was an extra $60, but I think it will be worth it to keep the shaft looking nice over time. The black zinc on the 2.0 seems pretty good, but I really wanna give the cerakote a try. Thanks for making this video. very informative. BTW, most of my stuff is Titan (with no complaints), but I'm following your advice and investing in a quality barbell!!

[@RubenGarcia-px5vy]

i have been using a CAP barbell for a few years. abused it to the max, left it outside in the rain and elements and it still gets the job done. it got rusty and it doesn't even spin anymore but i'm not getting rid of it. the only thing i don't like is the knurling in the center, sometimes when doing cleans or power cleans it scratches my lower neck. Also, just purchased a rogue bar 2.0... so excited !!! so, after some research i figured it was the best barbell to get and you seem to agree. thanks for the video

[@LinkHylia763]

I’ve been using Xtraining barbells and their associated plates and have had no problems. I do compete, I’ve used the Rouge base models up to the Eleiko competition bars. The best barbell for price, quality, and overall versatility is the Xtraining competition bar. You can get it around $230 (minus shipping), our gym has switched to these bars, and now a year and a half later these bars are holding up.

I think the Ohio power bar is the best power bar even vs texas power bar, Eleiko power bars, and even vs specialty bars like iron wolfe bench bar ( when it comes to benching with OPB). When it comes to WEIGHTLIFTING barbells, the pendlays are super good, especially with pendlay bumpers, they fit so well, pendlay bumper plates fit amazing on all barbells though.

[@GarageGymReviews]

The OPB is awesome. It will definitely be high up on the power bar list.

[@kjhdrugfreemasterspowerlif588]

Hard to beat at price point the rogue Ohio ipf approved bar ... but the eleiko still beats it overall if price weren't an issue... Texas power bars imo aren't very good knurling to aggressive and to flexy if you're going to have to lift on platform on an eleiko or titex or similar ... titex is a good bar of you're in the States and can get hold of one they're close to an eleiko at less cash ... I've got an eleiko and I use a SS power bar (205k psi) for squats and bench in rack to keep knurling pristine on it ... it's just the business for ipf lifters

[@frustrateduser666]

I can understand if you are saying that the Ohio Power Bar is the best value per dollar. If you don't bring price into the equation, the Eleiko is a better bar. Now, is it possible that you prefer Ohio to Eleiko? Sure.

[@awmlawoffice]

@@GarageGymReviews I just received the Cap Barbell OB86PBCK and it is actually a great power bar. I'm sure it won't out perform a Texas PB, Ohio PB or anything Chris Duffin makes, but, for the price, it is freaking awesome.

[@TonyQuist1003]

I own a few Texas Power bars and picked up Rogues Ohio barbell last year. The Ohio barbell will do the job for the average person. My plan was to replace all our Texas power bars with the Ohio because they are cheaper and Rogue has great turn around time. I notice when I get up 400 plus on the bench press the Ohio bends strange and it feels like it’s gonna roll out of my hands. I also notice when deadlifting at 600 or higher something just feels off like it is rolling forward and weights tend to feel more difficult to pull. We pull with Texas deadlift bars at our gym as well but sometimes I want less aggressive knurling and a 28.5 diameter to work grip. I’ve powerlifting for 16 years (lifting 24) so I’m pretty picky with my barbells and notice slight differences other might not. We do like the Rogue Echo weightlifting barbells over the Pendlay weightlifting barbell. I didn’t see that happening but if the kids have a choice of weightlifting bars for clean max outs they do tend to choose the Rogue barbell. Most will clean between 185 to 225 pound range with a few hitting 275 pounds. Just thought I’d share my opinion.

[@gcastaldo7104]

What barbell is safest in terms of like dangerous chemicals, i know dont eat it but just to know like what barbell does not contain dangerous stuff?

[@ah7027]

I personally train for Olympic lifting and typically train with eleiko bars and plates with a guy whos training me ( all different ones ranging from training to competition bars). that being said I personally bought the rep fitness gladiator bar and love it. compared to the other oly bars from rogue at the same price the spin is much better. I think the first rogue barbell to match the spin is like double the price. I don't do bench very often but for squats, deads, clean and jerks and snatches ive loved this bar.

[@GarageGymReviews]

It's a great bar for the price, I agree.

[@manueldriggs7099]

[@fedguy9182]

I bought a Vulcan One basic bar. It has 2 bronze bushings per sleeve and 190k psi tensile strength for $248. It is a fabulous bar for the quality that went into its construction such as excellent hard chrome finish and for outstanding maintenance. I don't think you can go wrong with one of these in your garage/basement gym for general purpose lifting.

[@GarageGymReviews]

I actually have one. They are a great basic bar for the price.

[@eliasenglund]

Please do a power bar version of this in 2020!

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Actually the black oxide aids in the bar not being slippery. If the bar is chrome then you need kneeling for squats. Some high end bars have a passive knurl that can help but is less likely to hurt.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

What bar is the one hanging on the wall behind you to the far left, facing the viewer? That would be the one on your far right in the video. The one with the knurls in the middle. That's the one I currently have, and I'm just curious to the quality of that bar in your opinion. I've had that bar for almost 20 years now, and it held up very well under some very heavy useage. It only got a little corroded along the knurled grips where I bench the most and did some standing barbell curling for many years. It doesn't have a lot of spin on the ends so it's great for benching and is a very stiff bar. It's great for bench and squat. Terrible for deadlift.

[@zacharygrosser4115]

[@matt7382]

I'd say you need a lower key center knurl when squatting, but one that won't rip you up when doing cleans. The Rogue BnR bar is just about perfect. If Rogue would make a stainless version I bet it would be a top seller.

How about the Xmark Lumberjack? It costs the same as the CAP OB-86B and claims 700 lbs without deforming.

I'm eyeing the Lumberjack and the Wonderbar but the Lumberjack doesn't disclose tensile strength.

[@voycodin5042]

Is the spin that big of a deal on a bench press? The reason I'm asking is that I'm putting together a home gym, and I really prefer 28MM barbells over 29MM variants for grip purposes. However, all good 28MM barbells are Olympic, meaning they have high spin. Now I know that the bar recommended here is 28.5MM, however unfortunately I can't really try it out anywhere, and I really don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it back. Hence, does a good Rogue or Eleiko Olympic barbell really unsettle you that much or cause wrist stability issues?

Our bars in high school powerlifting where old rusty, skinny and the grip was so aggressive that if you dropped it, it would take your skin with it. It helps you finish because you dont want to shred your hand. Shit was straight up a cheese grater! I loved it though, I always hated the thick cheap ass bars at other schools.

Hey Coop I noticed that you did not mention the American Barbell Bars. I own the stainless steel precision training bar and it is a awesome barbell.

If you have neighbors the sound of dropping the bar can be annoying. I would like to purchase a second bar and my sights are set on the Rogue Ohio Cerakote bar or the AB Cerakote Training bar. Your thoughts and recommendations please. Thanks!

[@sl1237]

Hey Ed, I was looking at getting the stainless steel precision bar. Is it good for a multi-purpose bar such as oly lifts, presses (some of the bars really hurt the wrists on bench), deads, wods etc. Also, do the chromed sleeves hold up well? Coop mentioned his AB Training bar in chrome developed rust.

[@eottonw]

S L the only bad thing about the AB SS precision training bar is the Sleeves. They rust really fast. The rest of the bar is flawless but the sleeves, that’s one item they need to improve to make this the best bar out there. Still it is a good barbell and I love that is a quiet bar. If you can live with the rusty sleeves, I think it is ok.

Can you comment more on the finishes. The Zinc says it wont rust but how long will the finish last compared to a stainless steel. The stainless steel wont rust I am told but will change color over time due to oxidizing. What say you.

I’m leaning towards a cerakote’d bar because it’s for my garage gym - also wanting that dual-marking (or at least powerlift marks). And I prefer a less aggressive knurl... Thank you for your insight!

What is the difference between rogue 2.0 and echo 2.0

Bought my plates from fringe and haven’t used them yet but fringe is more lowkey and still good

What's your opinion on decathlon barbell

Love the Elitefts Cowboy bar...good whip, strong as hell and decently priced!
