To be clear from the beginning, I do actually like this bar. But the price tag is nothing short of insane for what you get. But if you're an IPF lifter, and like to lift with what you compete on, and you have the budget, treat yo self! It's a bare steel power bar at the end of the day... a pretty nice one, but did I mention the price?? I bought mine like brand new used for $700 and I convinced myself that was too good of a deal to pass up. Mine is the prior version with the red/orange sticker.

I don't own these yet, but they are on my wish list. Literally, they are on my Gym Radar wish list. Make one of those if you don't have one already. It's a great feature. I have played with these roller J-cups in Basement Brandon's Gym, Anand's Gym, and Coach Carp's Gym, and they are my favorite I've ever seen.

I got this I'm pretty sure from a basement Brandon recommendation a long time ago. It's a great gym scale for weighing implements etc. pretty durable.

If you're after a specialty squat bar, this should be towards the top of the potential list for pretty much anyone. Thick, aggressive knurling, 55 pounds. Checks all the boxes. Really good price. Only potential downside I can see is for some really big (equipped usually) squatters, they like an even stiffer bar.

I've owned five logs. This is the best quality of all of them and it's not even close. But that's always the case for anything from MB. BUT it's expensive (I bought mine used thankfully). Also it's heavy empty, so it's not a great option for beginners.

Some of the best collars we've ever had at Massenomics Gym. Knock value down just a bit because they are a bit more expensive than normal... but durability and quality and performance on these are awesome.

I'm a little torn on this bar. Have to knock the value down since it costs $800 new. You could make a case for the price/value relationship because of all the variation you can use by manipulating the settings on the bar. I just don't find myself using this too much, and I am someone that uses specialty bars to squat quite a bit. Since i have the EliteFTS SS Yoke and the Marrs Bar, I just prefer to use those for each respective uses those are good for.

No secret that I'm a bit of a Texas Power Bar fan, but I can't find much of anything negative to say about this Rogue Power Bar. I'm going to just knock a tiny bit off because i don't prefer the thin comp collars for training, but that's also why you buy this bar, so still not much of a criticism. Price is very fair for what you get with this. The black zinc will wear eventually, but every company does, it's just the way black zinc is. Top tier bar for sure.
