Ohio Bar Black Oxide

• With nearly 900 five-star reviews, Ohio Bar is Rogue's upscale bar.
  
• The tape provides 190,000 PSI tensile strength and medium to medium knurling. It has also been described as having a "regular" whip that is tough enough for heavy lifting but also works well for the faster Olympic moves.
• While original version of the bar is made with a black anodizing treatment, which lends a "naked" feel to the knot, the iron bar is also available in the chrome, stainless steel, and Cerakote finishes.
  
  

Rogue 45LB Ohio Power Bar Cerakote

• With nearly zero whips and 205,000 psi of tensile strength, it is no surprise that at Rogue 45LB Ohio Power Bar Cerakote has 600 primarily 5-star reviews online.
  
  In addition to the zero-flex steel shaft, the rod features weightlifting pivots along the shaft and the center knurling for added stability.
  
  The tape also includes a Cerakote finish - a ceramic-based coating designed to be more wear and corrosion-resistant than standard black zinc oxide.
  
  

Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar Syracuse

• Available in three Cerakote colors, the Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar is a must-have if the deadlift is an essential part of your routine.
  
  For optimum grip, the tape has a narrower diameter and more intense drilling than Ohio Power's tape. The sleeve length is also relatively loadable, and the whip is high to increase the weight you can load it on.
  
  You do not have to take our word for it too seriously. The Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar Cerakote has 179 reviews on the Rouge website, with an average rating of 4.9 stars.
  
  

Rogue 10K Junior Tape

• With loadable short sleeve lengths, Rogue 10K Junior Bar is designed to help and keep the weight low, allowing the beginners to focus on learning proper weightlifting forms and techniques.
  
  It also has a smaller diameter, making it easier for little hands to hold, and a "regular" whip for versatility.
  
  Furthermore, since it's under $200, it's an affordable option for occasional lifters.
  
  

Bella Bar 2.0 e-coat

• Recommended for female lifters, the Bella Bar 2.0 has a "regular" whip and standard double-knurled, making it a great multi-purpose bar.
  
  The Bella is designed to be easier to carry and has a smaller diameter and less weight than many "men's" Rogue rods.
  
  Reviewers particularly appreciate the black E-Coat shaft coating, which is known to be reliable and wear-resistant. It is also available in black zinc and stainless steel.

Roguefitness training at your home

• An essential part of any weightlifting routine is a long bar with "sleeves" on both ends to accommodate the weight plates.
  
  Although you may have used the barbell in the gym, it can be a great addition to any home workout.
  
  Headquartered in Ohio, Rogue Fitness is a famous manufacturer of home gym equipment, specifically weight training items, including kettlebells, dumbbells, and weight plates.
  
  The company's steel bars are a favorite among weightlifters thanks to the steel construction.
  
  On top of that, Rogue makes it easy to find the bar that best fits your strength training needs, as you can sort by diameter size, tensile strength, bar weight, bar usage, and more.
  

How to choose the suitable barbell for your lifting needs

When selecting a barbell, consider the weightlifting exercises you plan how to do and how much you want to lift.

Additional factors include towing size, tensile strength, whip and knurling, weight capacity, and budget.

diameter size

• There is some debate in the fitness world about whether the thick or thin tape is best.
• Generally, a thicker iron rod has a diameter of 2 inches (50.88 mm) or larger.
• One study of golfers found that training with a thicker bar significantly improved grip strength over eight weeks compared to a standard bar. However, more research is needed.
• Choose the thickness that's most comfortable for you.
  
  

tensile strength

• While needs vary from person to person, tensile strength is the maximum stress (or weight) the iron can withstand before breaking.
• A 150,000-180,000 PSI bar is a good choice for most weightlifters.
• Rails rated below 150,000 psi are more targeted for beginners, while over 180,000 psi may be necessary for serious lifters.
• Rogue irons are valued between 92,000 and 215,000 psi.
  
  

whip

• Whip indicates how easy it is to bend or bend a bar of iron when loaded with weights. Dumbbells with higher whips are more flexible, while ones with lower lashes are more prominent.
• The best whip depends on the lifting you plan on doing and your preferences.
• While the ability to flex or bend allows Olympic lifters and CrossFit lifters to add momentum to their movements, a high whip, in general, is better for slow weightlifting movements.
• However, for most home gyms, a bar with a "good" or "regular" whip is the way to go, as it offers more variety.
  
  

Knurling

• Regarding a barbell, knurling - or bar grip - is paramount, although what you're looking for may vary.
• Rogue uses the terms "standard" and "aggressive" to describe a barbell's grip.
• Standard knurling means the strap has a diamond pattern intended to increase your grip, although the ways shouldn't be uncomfortable.
• For heavy lifts, you may want to choose a tape with "aggressive" knurling, which means the embossing is deeper and coarser. Also, consider a pair of lifting gloves or a grab bar to protect your hands from the rough surface.
  
  

Weight capacity

• Make sure to choose a bar that can support the required weight bearing.
  
  Most Rogue Irons are designed to hold up to 1,000 lbs (435.5 kg) or more. However, the company's website does not list the same weight capacity as its iron brackets.
  
  

Budget

Since Rogue Fitness barbells range in price from $195 to $605, you'll want to consider how much you're willing to spend.

One great way to save money is to check out the company's Boneyard bars, which are discounted for minor cosmetic imperfections.
