Just unwrapped my new Rogue Bar...

Timothy Gilday · 10-27-2011, 09:55 PM

Just unwrapped my new Rogue bar that was delivered today. It felt like Christmas morning. I know there are others and many people have their preferences but I have never held a bar this nice before.

New bumpers are on the patio waiting, do-wins and chalk are on the way. A small home gym is born.

Which bar? I'm about to order a Rogue and debating a couple

I chose the Rogue Bar because I thought it would be the best quality all-around bar for power and o-lifts. This is my novice interpretation based upon what everyone else has written. In contention were the B&R and Pendlay HD. My thought now is that in the future I may also choose a bearing bar.

Also, I live in South Florida and my home gym will be my screened in covered patio. The Rogue Bar seems to be the most maintenance friendly. I'll follow up as I go but the bar is solid and spins much better than the bars at my former box.

Nice! Having a garage gym is SO nice.

2.5 years ago when I moved into my new house, I ordered a pile of bumpers, a squat stand, 2 KBs and a rogue bar, and my garage gym was born.

Fast forward to today. I just ordered another 6 Rogue Bars. We'll have 16 of them at CF Aspire when they arrive. In my opinion, they are the best bar available under $300.

(The B&R bar is also incredible, and if I preferred having a center knurling, I'd have 16 of them instead)

Thanks, Justin. Same thing here. Kettlebells, bumpers and barbell. I'm looking forward to working on my own... Congrats, sounds like you have a nice set up.

Congrats, Tim! It's a good feeling!

Timothy Gilday · 10-28-2011, 08:51 PM

Yep! I set up the stall mats tonight before the game. Waiting for a few items including my SS book but I am still looking forward to tomorrows am workout.

Timothy - you picked a nice one, no worries for you. That's one I'm thinking of getting

Congrats on joining the Rogue Barbell Club!

Awesome for you, im jealous! I ordered the B&R last night baby!!! Though the zinc coating and the 28.4mm was tasty on the Rogue Bar, I wanted that center knurl on at least one of my bars. Counting the days till mine shows up now.
