Re: comprehensive barbell list 2015
I don't think it's merely a belief...huge difference, especially in a low bar squat

Re: comprehensive barbell list 2015
So here is the rest of my review on the Klokov bar...
1. This bar is not for high rep metcons involving cleans, push presses, or thrusters. You will scratch your neck up fierce with it. This bar will work for deadlifting and snatch WODS. The bar I worked with had center knurl that was more aggressive than the normal knurl. 2. The whip is about the same as a mulitpurpose at the 185-225lb range. It probably gets better after this. If this bar is offered with a soft center knurl or no center knurl, I would recommend it to CrossFitters in a heart beat. With that aggressive center knurl, this bar becomes a bar exclusive to Oly lifters who like aggressive center knurls and powerlifters. |

Re: comprehensive barbell list 2015
How aggressive is it really (the centre knurl) i mean is it comparible to a werksan bar? a TPB? just because I find it easier to compare something like that than saying just its really aggressive. I find it misleading a bit since one person will say OMG its a cheese grater...then i'll grab it and be like...damn this is actually mild..

Re: comprehensive barbell list 2015
I have 2 klokov bars (which I love) and the center knurl on them is just a tad softer than the knurl on the rest of the bar.

Re: comprehensive barbell list 2015
I am glad you put a comparison like that, and I think I will also use this method in the future, because you proved my point for me. "aggressive" is subjective. you mention werksan being sharp...all the werksan bars i've trained on I would never say sharp (i'd actually say they were not sharper than rogue bars)...the bar knurl is sandpaper like and the centre knurl was barely there, a TPB however is sharp (and all the other texas bars lol)

Like others have said, YMMV, but I can't see how the small amount of knurling on the center can cause that much of a big-deal. I will probably look specifically for center knurling in future bars, just because of the Klokov bar. |
