Best bar for many people. 10/10 would recommend. It's a matter of taste at this price, purpose, and quality. Rogue in my experience has the tightest tolerance between them, Texas, and American Barbell. The detail on the AB bars is a step above the rest. Texas is more aggressive.

Had a bare steel boneyard Ohio bar for a minute. It had very passive knurl, maybe the most passive knurl on any Rogue bar I've used, including the Bella. Hopefully that was why it was in the boneyard. I believe their cable attachments also use Ohio bar knurl and those are much better than the ohio bar I had. Probably a good bar if you're not strength training.

Bought a black zinc/bright zinc with my rack as my first barbell alongside a bare boneyard Bella. That bar was excellent and Rogue's tolerances are tighter than ever. I upgraded to a stainless/black during a sale and that was even better. I would still be using that bar but a great deal on an even nicer bar came up near me. The OHP has some of the best knurling out there, between Texas and the Chewy in terms of aggression, but I would say the most crisp if that's a term. Rogue also has the highest value and fastest resale every single time so it's a safe bet if this is your first bar. 10/10 would recommend.

No longer available new but probably a good score on the used market at this point if you want a BIG, beefy bench. It's big, that's the only drawback. I fit entirely on the back pad (no hinge interference), it adjusts plenty, stands vertically. It can be a bear to move around tight spaces or across floor/platform transitions.

Great bar, slightly stiffer than Texas but it's matter of taste. The knurling is also slightly less aggro but still super grippy, no problems. If you train on this bar, you'll be fine to switch to Texas on meet day and maybe be better off for it. Having full knurling is a bigger drawback IMO since you can't slide in a jack/rack as easily as the Texas. Cost wise I think it's right there with Texas so take your pick if buying new.

Cheap on marketplace, most compact fixed dumbbells, easy to find replacements. Not super accurate so I swap hands every other set lol. Knurl is inconsistent.

Phenomenal plates. I hemmed and hawed for a while as to whether to upgrade my CAP plates at all, and if so for Strength Co, Rogue deep dish, used calibrated or something else? What sold me on the milled Yorks was the price (half of those new plates), accuracy, availability (varies of course), the 45 face design, and the gestalt of them given York's history and the manual finish on them. I prefer the asymmetrical face on these to the TSC, and I do like the "2-1/2" versus "2.5 lbs". Fractions just feel right with imperial units. The filleted lip is super comfortable and the milling gives you extra grip while looking killer. They are hand finished (milling patterns are unique to every single plate) and literally a little rough around the edges, and the center holes aren't exactly centered. I'll never sell them.

Great bar! I bought this because it has the narrowest camber width, meaning you can grip closer on the straight portion of the shaft as compared to the titan or Rogue, and the depth of the camber is in a sweet spot between those other two also. It has a similar design to the older vintage cambered bars, which I was trying to find for a while before pulling the trigger on this bar. The knurl is good but not aggressive, the nickel plating has held up very well so far, the sleeves and collars are well machined and proportioned. Not sure what their ordering process is like now but mine took three months to receive from start to finish. The listed weight on their website at that time was inaccurate (listed at 20 kg but actually 17 kg). The end cap is labeled correctly though, and it has a cool design too. The straight portions of the shaft on mine are slightly out of line (nobody else can tell with their naked eyes that's I've asked), so maybe don't put a straight edge on your bar if that's going to bug you. I believe it's imported from China into Sweden and finished there, but the quality is high and the price is justifiable unless its risen substantially in the last couple years. Mine was ~$400 after all fees and shipping, which was a substantial portion of that cost. Hopefully they can stock more in the states and bring that down because would be a real winner.
