Rogue Ohio Bar

The Ohio bar has great knurling, the matt chan bar takes it to another level and is stainless. Now mine isn't cerakoted, so that helps but the stainless Ohio bar would be similar.

I'm going to be unboxing and reviewing one of the cleanest, most durable bars that Rogue makes. The stainless steel Ohio bar. This is the full stainless steel barbell, and then we have the also have the stainless steel sleeve. So, this is pretty exciting. Uh this is the bar that when I bought it, I told my wife that this is what the boys are going to lift with when they get old enough.

If you have the money I’d get a stainless steel rogue Ohio bar, if you don’t have the money I’d get a rogue Ohio bar off facebook marketplace.

The Rogue Ohio bar is probably the most copied barbell in the fitness industry. There are thousands of Ohio bar reviews out there, so I'm not going to just review the bar. What I'm going to do here is try to answer the question that everybody actually has when they're choosing between the non-economy finishes, the zinc and the e-coat, right? Cerakote or stainless steel.

Is the Rogue Ohio bar worth it? Yes, the Rogue Ohio bar is worth it, especially if you choose a highly resistant finish like Cerakote.

Nevertheless, our tester considers it a “do-it-all bar,” scoring its versatility a 5 out of 5.

So, if you're grinding a heavy squat or a deadlift, the power bar gets you a little bit more static feel or stability. And that's really the first big fork in the road. One bar is kind of able to move with you, even if that includes dynamic movements, and one bar is built to truly be that stability piece.
