Product Description

The MG-4NC is adapted from the design of our MG-4C Camber Multi-Grip Bar, and is distinguished by its narrower frame (7.1” wide vs. 10”) and shorter/thicker handles (5” long vs. 6.75” long, 32mm diameter vs. 28.5mm). As with the other speciality bars in Rogue’s MG-4 series*, this model offers two major advantages over other multi-grip barbells on the market:

  • The sleeves rotate in the style of a standard barbell and come in your choice of two nearly indestructible finishes.
  • Athletes can select both the width and angle of the handles, building a bar that is optimized for their size and training preferences.

*For a flat, non-cambered multi-grip bar with these same features, see our MG-4F Bar. 

The MG-4CN’s friction welded sleeves, which are available with 9” of loadable length or 15.5” of loadable length, use the same internal components as our standard barbells and rotate on shafts made from the same stainless steel as our power bars. The distance between the sleeves is also the standard 51.5”, making the bar rackable on any Rogue power rack, squat stand, rig, or bench.

MG-4CN Narrow Multi Grip Camber Bar

The MG-4NC is adapted from the design of our MG-4C Camber Multi-Grip Bar, and is distinguished by its narrower frame (7.1” wide vs. 10”) and shorter/thicker handles (5” long vs. 6.75” long, 32mm diameter vs. 28.5mm). As with the other speciality bars in Rogue’s MG-4 series*, this model offers two major advantages over other multi-grip barbells on the market:

  • The sleeves rotate in the style of a standard barbell and come in your choice of two nearly indestructible finishes.
  • Athletes can select both the width and angle of the handles, building a bar that is optimized for their size and training preferences.

*For a flat, non-cambered multi-grip bar with these same features, see our MG-4F Bar. 

The MG-4CN’s friction welded sleeves, which are available with 9” of loadable length or 15.5” of loadable length, use the same internal components as our standard barbells and rotate on shafts made from the same stainless steel as our power bars. The distance between the sleeves is also the standard 51.5”, making the bar rackable on any Rogue power rack, squat stand, rig, or bench.

In addition to the pair of 5”  straight handles included with the Narrow Camber Multi-Grip Bar, customers can order extra pairs of straight, 16-degree, or 20-degree handles, which can be added to the frame at 1 inch intervals. For functional use, this means that sets of handles can be spaced anywhere from a minimum of 6” to a maximum of 26” apart, allowing athletes to customize their bar for multiple movements–from close grip presses and triceps work to biomechanically optimized grips at shoulder-width and beyond. All handles, regardless of angle, have a diameter of 32mm and the same knurl pattern as our Ohio Bars. 

Please Note: Due to their shorter length, the 5” long handles of the MG-4CN are NOT compatible with bars in the MG-4 series.

The sleeves, handles, and hardware of the MG-4CN are all finished in your choice of either stainless steel or our proprietary matte black finish. Both of these extremely durable, corrosion-resistant options will maintain the look and performance of the sleeves across daily use. And because the proprietary matte black finish doesn’t add any thickness when applied, customers can expect that both the stainless and black handle options will feel exactly as they would coming straight out of the lathe. Note: The handle and bolt finish will match your selected sleeve finish. 

The 41” frame portion of the bar is built from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” plates, a machined socket, and a matte black powder coat finish. The cambered shape with 3.5” of drop allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and also helps to improve stability, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. At a width of 7.1”, the frame of the MG-4CN is also nearly 3” narrower than the standard MG-4C, allowing for easier maneuverability for some athletes. 

The sleeves are assembled to the shafts by our barbell assembly team, but to save on shipping costs, we developed a unique interlocking taper design that allows for easy assembly with a single nut using the included wrench. The joint created by this interlocking taper is every bit as strong as a weld, and will hold up to whatever an athlete throws at it. Even after the nut is removed, it takes a lot of force with a mallet to free the shaft from the socket (something to keep in mind if you decide to change to a different sleeve length at a later date). 

Two Sleeve Length Options (Both are Rackable):

  • 15.5” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 54LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 2 handles). Available with stainless steel or proprietary matte black finish.
  • 9” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 44 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 2 handles). Available with stainless steel or proprietary matte black finish.

*The shaft is stainless steel in all versions, regardless of sleeve finish or length.

IMPORTANT: The MG-4CN Bar ships with the sleeve assemblies and handles disconnected from the frame, but all required hardware and tools for assembly are provided, including a set of 5/16” allen keys + 1/2” x 2-½” button heads bolts for the handles and a 1.5” Monster Wrench for securing the sleeve to the frame.

Key Features of the MG-4CN Narrow Camber Multi-Grip Bar

Narrow, Cambered Frame
1

Narrow, Cambered Frame

The cambered 41” frame has a depth of 3.5” and is built from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” laser-cut plates and a machined socket. Mounting holes for the handles are 1” on center all along the sides, and the frame is finished in the same soft touch matte black powdercoat as our recently released RM43 line of racks. The cambered shape allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and also helps to improve stability and reduce wobbling, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower.

Adjustable Knurled Handles
2

Adjustable Knurled Handles

The MG-4CN comes standard with (2) straight knurled grip handles in your choice of a stainless steel or proprietary matte black finish. All handles measure 5” in length and 32mm in outside diameter, making them a bit shorter and thicker than the standard handles on our other MG-4 bars (for this reason, MG-4CN handles are NOT compatible with the other bars in this series). With their threaded design, the handles are conveniently removable and can be positioned anywhere along the bar’s 41” long frame, using the included allen keys for attachment. Functional spacing options range from a minimum or 6” to a max of 26”. Additional handle pairs can be selected in the purchase area (at extra cost), with standard Straight Handle and two Angled Handle options available. Keep in mind, the ideal biomechanical angle for an efficient, safe lift expands as the handles move further apart. Rogue recommends the following handle spacing for Angled Handles when pressing:

20-degree: 26" or 22" spacing
16 degree: 18" or 14" spacing
Straight: 10" or 6" spacing

Additional configurations may work for other movements, as closely spaced angled handles may work well for skull crushers for many athletes.

Barbell Style Sleeves in 2 Length Options
3

Barbell Style Sleeves in 2 Length Options

Available in standard (15.5” loadable length) and short (9”) variants, the rackable sleeves on the MG-4CN are built using the same construction methods and components as our Rogue Ohio Bar, producing a smooth rotation. The two quality sleeve finish options (stainless steel and proprietary matte black) also help eliminate paint chipping and maximize the bar’s long-term corrosion resistance.
Please Note: The sleeve assemblies ship disconnected from the frame and can be attached using the included 1.5” Monster Wrench. They can also be removed and replaced, but removal will require additional tools (such as a rubber mallet) and a means of securing the frame in place.

Interlocking Taper Design and Machined Nut
4

Interlocking Taper Design and Machined Nut

The shaft of the sleeve connects to the frame using an interlocking taper; a staple of the machine tool industry for more than a century. The conical shape of the shaft is inserted into a conical cylinder that, when tightened with the machined hex nut, creates an extremely rigid joint.

Solid. Compact, great design.
Solid as you would expect from Rogue, well thought out, and the width of the bar is perfect. I got mine with 12, 16 and 20 degree angle grips, installed with 12 in the middle, 20 outside, really is ergonomically magnificent. My REP MG bar has a straight perpendicular grip on the outside, that is really not a good angle for the wrists. Others have complained about the wobble when using this, and some of my workout partners wobble like crazy. If your wrist strength is good, it's not an issue at all. I absolutely love using this bar to break up my workouts on push days with OH should presses, flat bench and incline bench, and vary using the various grips. Pull days using it to hang and doing upright rows. Just a really beautiful, well made and functional addition to my gym. Well done ROGUE!

Great bar to get you next PB!
This bar lets you get the best stretch in the bench press to help grow your pecs. The grip adjustments makes it easier to bench with individuals with shoulder injuries and give them an option to keep training.

really helps with shoulder issue
really happy with the bar. like everything about it. i was not able to push hard on bench because of shoulder issues, and this allows a much more natural grip for me. can go hard and i love it. as others have said, just tilt it a bit when you're holding it to reduce the wobble
