So we have had two of them, one a boneyard pickup and one that was a straight up buy. Both have done well and performed well, but I can’t say that they stand above any other Rogue bar except in branding or color. I think the hybrid power bar is a better overall choice.

One of my favorite Rogue bars. This was a garage sale find for me as they were prepping release. Nice aggressive knurl, and a really solid bar for all around use. We’ve loaned it out multiple times to other federations or comps that use a standard barbell instead of specialty bars and it takes a beating and always comes back in one piece

TSC for the win. But the real cheat code is if you know anyone in industry with large cranes. Those chains for lifting large dies and other items typically get a limited life cycle. While most recycle, some people will let them go if they know it’s just a “for weight” use. I also bought shipyard chain before and got some decent buys even if the chain is ridiculously oversized.

Same review as all my others on MAG. But I do love the added stretch I get with the narrow grip! Bonus use - curls from a cable machine!

Fantastic deadlift bar. Very nice bite on the knurl. Texas is known gold standard but I feel this bar has a seat at the table!

My hands and wrists are huge so I struggle with a lot of these. But when a buddy calls and says “Rogue has 150 lb fatbells in the garage sale at $1 a lb - you want em” - you just roll the dice and pray. They do hit me a little weird but for price I don’t care. They are big. They are heavy. I press them - and I get stronger.

I bought a set of 125’s second hand so my value was great, but new value is a “dear lawd”. Nice dumbbells with a good grip, great rubber on them, and solid feel in hand. Worth it if you can find or are ok on the spend new

Super nice rack that is easy and straightforward. I have an OG version that was all plate steel sides. I made add-on shelves patterned off original to expand our storage and works perfect. Easy to assemble, paint to your gym colors, and holds whatever you throw at it
