The Best Barbell For A Home Gym. Rogue Ohio Power Bar Review

Спорт

Rogue's Ohio Power Bar is my wife's and my favorite barbell. Does that make it the best barbell for a home gym? We all have our wants, needs, and budget, but given the choice, this is the bar I'd recommend to most people.

    One other OPB variant for those who work out in tight spaces: The Rogue stump bar is an OPB with shorter sleeves. It has the same great gnurling of the OPB, has the same size shaft, but is easy to maneuver in a tight basement gym. Plus, with a thin enough plate, you can still put well over 300 lbs on it (Rogue says 500, but they must be using competition plates or some such).

    I use my 25mm, 180 cm (5'11") 15 lb bar from the Norwegian sports outlet XXL for most exercises. It's my first barbell, I have a lot of weight for it, and it can handle over 500 lbs. And it really can. Heaviest I've gone on it is 383.6 lbs (174 kg), bar included, and there's never been any thought of it breaking. It fits a lot better than my Rogue OHPB where I lift, and it's nice. I do use the power bar for deadlifts, because it means standard ROM, calibrated lifts, and I just prefer it. It's also better for grip, since the shaft on my other bar is just 25mm. I'm going to start doing static holds after my deadlifts for grip strength. Probably start with 140 kg or thereabouts. I also own a 5 foot olympic bar that's rather cheap, and I don't really use it. I will eventually, and it'll be good for my kids to use once I have those, but despite its mighty 30mm shaft diameter, it's just not as good as a "standard" barbell for me.

    I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these, but of all the homegym equipment I want to buy, another barbell ranks relatively low. My boring Rep Saber bar that I got in the middle of 2020 (because NOTHING else was available) has been treating me well. If I ever decide to get another (gotta start filling up a gun rack sometime), this would probably be the one I go with. Good review!

    Thanks for the matte black testing! Rogue decided to take my cb-4 back (finally). Outside of powercleans and barbell complexes, I don’t use straight bars anymore. Otherwise an OPB would be high on my list. I no longer use my ohio or chan bar because the knurling is lame (fringe sport hybrid to the rescue! Crazy. Not a statement I ever thought I would say) My issue is damn near every rogue specialty bar is coming with the matte black sleeves exclusively or with a very expensive option (like stainless … looking at you mg4cn). Before I found the fringe hybrid, I was considering a second chan for supersets. The sleeve experience on the cb-4 prevented it. (My chan is chrome sleeves). Anyway, great review! Glad to see the sleeve isn’t a universal problem.

    My favorite is the Rep Deep Knurl EX all stainless steel. It is my favorite because it is only the 2nd bar I have ever owned and my last one was a 25yr old Weider that came with a 245# plate set. I cannot believe the grip difference on this bar. It becomes one with your hand. The finish is amazing and the craftsmanship is stunning. Obviously these opinions come from a man who has 2 barbells. Do you have any experience with this bar and how does it stack against the Rogue Ohio Power bar? Thank you.

    I have both the Ohio Power Bar in Stainless and the Ohio Bar in Black Oxide. With Black Oxide you get a little protection but it does not fill in the knurling. I love the OPB for everything except deadlifts and I use my OB for that. Even with the more passive knurling, I feel I can get a better grip because of the slightly smaller shaft. That is why I do not understand all the hate the Texas Power Bar gets for being 28.5mm. IMO, the slightly slimmer shaft along with the more aggressive knurling are the main benefits of that bar. The only reason I went with the OPB over the TPB is that I hate the pinned collars. I feel the snap ring design most other companies use is far superior to the pinned collars used by Texas Power Bars.

    I’d stay away from the rogue Cb-4 till they figure out their bent sleeves problem 😅 great bar,bad sleeves and bad customer service in my experience…. They first acknowledge that my bar was out of spec and bent and we’ll be sending a replacement, but then three hours later sent me an email saying they will not be replacing it because the replacement bars are basically the same/also bent leaves. They actually refused to give me any sort of credit or discount on my next barbells so I am a bit disappointed. They already have a bunch they are selling on the boneyard, so I was hoping at least to get that price but no dice.

    I'm surprised how how tight lipped Rogue is about the propriety matte black finish. I have the stainless/black standard Ohio Bar. As near as I can tell, it looks like a nitrided finish- which is really common in the firearms industry (along with Cerakote). It's not a coating or finish, really, but a surface conversion process where the metal is placed in a bath of molten salt and nitrogen, then heated to 750-1050 degrees. This lets nitrogen and carbon penetrate the surface and converts it into a harder and more corrosion resistant material. When polished, it takes on an even matte black appearance.

Got it last week for birthday and now have used it for bench press, rows, ohp, and deadlifts.

    I lift everyday with the Midas bar from Fringe and I love it. I could lift with the Ohio Power bar and I don't think I could tell U the difference and IMO, if someone disguised 5 power bars and I gave 5 people 3 sets with each bar, I guarantee they could not tell U which bar was which or the difference in the bars. U and Basement Brandon could but Most of us would be guessing with the answers on every bar. They say I got to have a Center Knurl for my Power bar, oh my gracious. If a guy has 300lbs., 400lbs., or 500 lbs. on his back, a 6 inch center knurl is not gonna be the reason he completes the lift or crashes and burns. Matter of fact with a shirt on he couldn't even tell U if it had a center knurl or not.

    Can I have your insight on this? I've had the bare steel ohio power bar for 7 months and I've never done anything to maintain it ever. It works perfectely fine so I don't really see the point in oiling and brushing it. What will happen if I don't maintain it for longer?

    It sounds like you have a pretty good climate. It will probably develop some surface rust over time just from your skin and chalk and moisture getting in there. My Ohio deadlift for example you can definitely tell where I grip it because that's where the rust formed first. I maintain it but probably not enough but it still is functionally fine.

    FWIW, at one point I had a very well used (from a commercial gym that closed) York raw steel bar, probably made in the 70s or 80s. It had a beautiful dark bronze-like surface patina. I would wipe it down every couple of months with a little 3n1 oil. Was still in great shape when I donated it, other than the knurling had gotten pretty tame.

    "Actually," 🤓 I'm thinking about buying a second bar and it might be the Ohio Power Bar. I've used it at meets and at powerlifting gyms. My BoS Barenaked Power Bar with the aggressive knurling has really torn up my back this week, like drawing blood, so I think it's time to add a new bar to the gym. Should I wait until your future videos before purchasing? You said it is going to be a big year for bars. Thanks!

    For Crossfit style workouts I'd take the less aggressive knurling and lack of center knurl. So the Ohio Bar, not the power unless your main barbell lifts are squat, bench, and deadlift.

    So I just purchased a all stainless Ohio Power Bar and when I checked it with my magnet it didn’t stick to the sleeves (which is what I expected from stainless) but it did stick to the bar. Concerned they sent me the wrong bar, I reached out to Rogue and they said that was normal due to a stainless alloy. Was wondering if your stainless does the same?

  • @martystrasinger3801

    They likely use a different type stainless for the shaft than the sleeves. Some stainless types are magnetic, some not. They can have very different amounts of iron, carbon, chromium, nickel and possibly other metals in the alloy.

    Depends on preferences, but I prefer the Texas bars over Rogue. I have their full set as well as several Rogue bars and I would have to respectfully disagree with Gluck about quality. Texas bars are very high quality and have been used as the standard in lifting events for decades. If I could only have one bar, it would be the Texas Power Bar. The black zinc Texas bar has just the right amount of aggressive knurl for me. My wife prefers the cerakote OPB because the knurl isn't quite as aggressive. Hope this helps.

    Curious with the new TPB 29mm out, if you still feel this way, or if you feel that bar is a contender. Obviously no stainless, but I've been reading a lot of people ditching their stainless OPB for the 29 TPB.

    If you like very aggressive knurling you may like it but I don't love the Aggro 3x for that very reason. Feels sharp for the sake of being sharp and we have their 28.5, deadlift, and 29mm. There's some personal preference with knurling and I love their history but it's still a TPB. Loose tolerances, not as many finish options, and my 29mm TPB had a ton of metal shavings in the knurling that took awhile to clean out and I'm still not convinced they'll kick out consistent knurling. I find Rogue's Hybrid to be a great bar (especially vs a 28.5 TPB) if you want aggressive (Aggro 2x) without dicing your hands up but even that is probably too much for most people though the tolerances are incredible.
