I currently own the Rogue CB-1, but in my use this feels exactly like that bar. If you want a camber bar for squats get this one because you will save some money. It is VERY heavy and awkward so getting it set up can be thing to give some thought. It can also be challenging to store since it is wide and long. Give storage some thought before you buy.

The classic football bar. For a specialty bar like this something simple and cheap will get the job done for you. I don’t personally find that a specialty bar in this style to be very useful. I prefer a camber like the BOS arch nemesis or the kadilac. A flat bar with neutral grip can be nice to put less stress on the chest.

This is such a fun bar. It is so light weight and its weight capacity does make this a good kids bar, but a young kid bar. This is more for the motions rather than something you can see your kids train with.

It is a good idea to have the cable hook, but the bar is large enough that it does make it a bit of a pain to set up. The angle and handles do make this comparable to the kadillac.

This is what you bust out when you want to pull a PR. A lot of whip. Pull a bit slower as it can throw you off if you are not used to it. Based on my pull with a 10’ bar, there is some playing around with this bar to simulate that.

As much as I like Kabuki, it is a pain at how many versions of this bar there have been. I do think rogue and their run at it has resulted in the best feeling and most user friendly bar. What I like most is that it provides a feel similar to the spider bar, but in a slightly smaller footprint. I don't find the change in angles to be that big of a sell. Too many options to realistically program for use. I recommend getting a MARRS bar and a SSB over this. It does look cool and the idea is tempting!

BOS really excited me with this bar and the swappable handles. It is a bit of a pain to change them out, but not that bad. I was hoping rep would follow suit, but they have not. It is a fun option to add something different, but it does not feel that much different. I find the main difference is how much your arms/hands are involved and you can simulate some of that without changing handles

The nickel bar is what stands out most to me for this bar. Such a great look and feel. The other finishes also feel great, but its just a power bar with an aggressive knurl. The argo 2x is what you can still buy and will feel as good as most of these bars. Not high up on my recommendation list, but high on my personal list of bars what I would get to replace my power bar.
