The Allrounder 20

Overall, it's a well designed bar, the built-in locking collar system is unique and very functional, the knurling is passive but since I primarily use it for cleans and snatches they work well for me. I bought it used for $600 and I still feel it was too expensive.

I don’t recommend buying this bar but I don’t regret buying it either. One thing I don’t like about it is loading the bar with weights. It’s not smooth. Rogue deep dish plates go on better than XMaster steel plates, but it’s annoying. The plates kind of catch on the collar indents. Maybe if I used them a lot, it would smooth out. It is a nice bar. Knurl not aggressive. Fine for benching.

I’m somewhat conflicted on this bar. From a build-quality standpoint, it’s one of the best-made bars I own, with several high-end finishes and a unique integrated collar system. It’s also my wife’s favorite bar out of everything in the gym. That said, my main drawbacks are the nearly nonexistent knurling and the $750 MSRP. While the built-in collars are undeniably well executed, I would personally rather spend a few hundred dollars less on a bar with better knurling and stronger overall training utility.
