The Starting Strength Bar - gets 5lbs heavier every time it’s unracked

[@Agnes135]

Hahaha

[@gordo608]

are these bars sold individually or only in bundles of fahve?

[@TomAndValkyrie]

@Natty Fatty Powerlifting Does that mean I need a separate bar for deadlifts?

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

Tip for owning a bare steel bar: don't let chalk cake up on the knurling for very long, or it's a breeding ground for rust, especially if the bar will be kept in a less insulated/more humid environment, like a garage. Brush any chalk accumulation off the bar after every workout. It only takes a minute. Use a nice, stiff bristled nylon brush, or a brass bristle brush. If you let too much rust accumulate, the rust plus the intensive process of cleaning it off can wear down/soften the intensity of the knurl quite significantly. I learned this the hard way.

[@michaeltemple895]

I left mine standing in the corner of me bedroom for a year. When I finally decided to use it, the end of the bar that was pointed up had collected lots of dust and was rusted. Houston humidity is brutal.

[@omarsohal926]

For those wondering, from Rip on the forums: "How is the new Starting Strength Barbell going to differ from the Rogue B&R Bar? " "Basically the same bar, slightly different knurl, in 28.5mm. The slightly smaller diameter makes it a better general-purpose bar than the fatter 29mm B&R. "

[@johnnylira3312]

Get'em both! That way, you get some double landmine action!

[@jam34786]

Would you be willing to allow fahve easy installments?

[@Argonnosi]

$265.00 on a bare steel Rogue Ohio Power Bar - 45 lbs, thought they only have the IPF markings. $325.00 on a zinc coated Rogue Ohio Power Bar - 20 kg, though they only have the IPF markings.

[@jcarty123]

I liked this vid because I learned something about what to look for in a bar.

[@tyleraustin33]

I ordered one the day they came out. I look forward to trying it out and comparing it to my B&R bar! :)

[@billclymer5248]

I have been using this bar for 7 months now and I can tell you first hand it’s fantastic, you will not find a bigger bang for the buck.

[@KenOnStrength]

But Wait! There’s More!

[@ozankoksal9244]

Rippy got the stiffy uh

[@Evolvedpants]

Is there a sensor in it to make it explode if you start doing curls?

[@slaytanic921]

EvolvedPants only if you are in the squat rack

[@viveksaini8568]

LOL!

[@imcoleyourenot8391]

Haha

[@padraigb580]

That's a great price and I've been thinking abt a new bar. Will really have to consider this one.

[@slaytanic921]

How does this bar match up to the B&R bar? If the bars are comparable and one wanted to support your efforts more, would this be the bar to get?

[@davidthomspson9771]

Flipping awesome 👍

[@PrattDirkLerxst-qv1ix]

I keep my basement humidity around 50% year-round because I have musical instruments there in addition to my rack and barbells/plates. My current Rogue bar is zinc coated (shaft and sleeves) and no problems with corrosion or rust. Is 50% humidity too high for this bare steel SS bar w/r/t corrosion or rust?

[@ludwigvonsowell5347]

Just in time for Christmas

[@Argonnosi]

Could you add a link to the online store,?

[@ahgroundwork]

Is it available in the uk?

[@Cuandoman]

Still a total pain in the ass for a coastal garage gym. What you call patina there, is all out rust here.

[@imcoleyourenot8391]

Cuandoman true

[@glodomorraa]

Yeah, what a great bar

[@erensezener]

How does the knurling compare to the Texas power bar?

[@lightn1ng89]

Will this thing give more more power to hip dreaveee?

[@mepmh]

Nice!

[@Newuxtreme]

Why does this 1080p video look so much better than it should be??

[@johntrains1317]

It's about time you entered the market young whippersnapper. Those are some competitive prices too.

[@MrPolluxxxx]

20kg, 28.5mm AND center knurl! I want it.

[@alphastrength3402]

Rogue bars are my favorites

[@TomB1988]

What happened to the B&R?

[@swoleboy9640]

Do you ship to México?

[@EnkiriElite]

Sounds like a quality bar! I'd love to snag one up some day.

[@glenmartin9974]

How does the 20kg bar compare to the B&R bar?

[@indominusolympus8802]

B&R 2.0: No Whip, 29 mm diameter Starting Strength: Does Whip, 28.5 mm diameter

[@tadleyironwood7595]

This may be the finest barbell ever made.something about those thick collars and bare steel and craftsmenship of texas power bars.

[@TomAndValkyrie]

But how to I do power cleans without bumper plates?

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Exactly the same way, some commercial gyms might kick you out, but good ones wont.

[@ultimaetsolder]

Is there any point to buy the B&R bar now that this is out?

[@startingstrength]

The B&R is nice but this bar is much nicer.

[@Adam-sc7vo]

Why not put center knurl on women's and Jr bars?

[@JM-fo1te]

Forgot to put the link in the description.

[@christophe_gallant]

Finally a 10 kg bar I can finally start strength.

[@kcuhc84]

Better signal?

[@fabiotieri3155]

[@stephenbissett3280]

Are the sleeves on this bar threaded or smooth?

[@debashishmitra]

I had the same question and wrote to the manufacturer texaxpowerbars - they said this is the nearest to a smooth finish out of all their bars

[@tadleyironwood7595]

Anyone end up getting it? I went with the all american and my deep dish plates scream when putting them on.way louder then rogue power bar sleeves.was also wondering if the ss and aa have same knurl.

[@mjs0686]

I wonder how this compares to the B & R bar.

[@VanAllenVlogs]

mjs0686 B&R 2.0 is 29mm vs 28.5mm, only 20kg, dual marks, center knurling. I enjoy the knurling.

[@clownpocket]

Looks like it has smooth and not ridged sleeves. I like smooth much better.

[@ftargr]

Capps is the best. Only thing I like besides that is York.

[@VanAllenVlogs]

But I just bought the B&R 2.0 Bar!!!

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

What is the maximum weight of the bar? By "perfect balance of sharp and smooth" you mean "medium knurl" right? What's the tensile strength? Is it whippy or stiff? What's the sleeve length on each bar? What's the diameter of the bar? Are you not meant to squat with the lighter two bars since there's no center knurl? What are the actual specs on the bar?

[@anthonyluisi7096]

All steel bar . I assume you would need to oil the entire bar for maintenance and reduce rust especially in hot humid environments? Just ask ing ...

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

Oil is not needed as long as you brush any chalk buildup out of the knurling after every workout, and perhaps give the entire surface a nice brushing every so often to disrupt any surface buildup of rust. Black oxide buildup is good, orange rust buildup is bad.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Thank you 🙏

[@riflemanm16a2]

@@anthonyluisi7096 If you keep it in a humid environment, yes, you need to wipe it down and oil it after every workout. I have a bare steel Ohio Power Bar, and it gets a bit rusty even when I brush the chalk and oil it every time.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Riflemanm16a2 , thank you brother 👌👍🏻

[@MrMcWally]

Thought it was gonna be made of wood

[@adamgoldberg506]

Can someone explain why the bars are in kilos if we’re all using pounds?

[@wsmoran]

Very few bars are actually in pounds. Most "45 pound" bars are actually 20 kg. That being said once you add collars it ends up being 45 lb anyway

[@glenmartin9974]

Here's an explanation from the man himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHiTloaqjthmoJI

because The USA is the only country still using that archaic unit. Here, in the normal world, we use KILOGRAMS. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

You will find higher quality in a general purpose bar, for cheaper. The Rogue Ohio Power bar is unbeatable.

[@AcceleratingUniverse]

rogue ohio power bar is a power bar, not a general purpose bar...
