Product Description

Made for the platform, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar excels in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Combining a 29MM minimal flex shaft with a deep knurl, we’ve created a bar perfect for heavy pulls and maximum stability under heavy squats and bench presses. Whether you are competing, or looking to get the most out of your training in your garage gym or commercial facility, the Rogue 20KG Ohio Power Bar is unmatched.


PRECISION MEETS POWER

Every 20KG Ohio Power Bar is precisely machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that is proven ideal for heavy powerlifting. We combine a 205,000 PSI tensile strength, low flexion shaft, IPF powerlifting knurl marks and our signature Ohio Power Bar knurling. The knurling is machined in a pattern that is deep and coarse, providing an ideal surface for heavy pulls without being sharp or abrasive. Additionally, it features a matching center knurl that adheres to your back when you need it most.


ENHANCED FEATURES

Best In Class Durability: Engineered to withstand the heavy demands required from the home gym to the commercial facility. Read more here.

2X Quieter Performance: Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.

Low Profile Sleeve Design: The sleeves are now machined using a new low-profile sleeve design that allows for easier than ever loading and unloading of plates.

UNMATCHED REPUTATION

The Rogue 20KG Ohio Power Bar has set the standard as the premier choice for powerlifting barbells in the industry. With our latest edition, we've taken our flagship power bar to new levels, introducing the most precision machined Ohio Power Bar yet. More than just a barbell, the Rogue 20KG Ohio Power Bar represents where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in continuing to make the best weightlifting bars in the market.

Loading

Best In Class Durability

With a F-Scale rating of F8-R, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands that powerlifting places on barbells today, whether it be used daily in the garage or in a high-use commercial gym.

LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN

Our new low-profile sleeve design makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever. A bright zinc finished sleeve contrasts with the black zinc shaft, adding both oxidation resistance and a classic look to the bar.

2X QUIETER PERFORMANCE

Using precision machining, we are able to tighten the fit of the sleeve on the shaft which means a smoother spin, a more connected feeling while lifting and significant noise reduction.

How It's Made
1

FRICTION WELDING

The collars of the sleeves are friction welded, creating the strongest sleeves in the industry. This bond is as strong as if machined from a single piece of steel, while saving on waste and cost. 

Rogue Work Hardening
2

Rogue Work Hardening

Our patented, proprietary process more than doubles the durability and lifespan of the barbell shaft compared to our competitors. 

Bright Zinc Sleeve Coating
3

Bright Zinc Sleeve Coating

A bright zinc finished sleeve contrasts with the black zinc shaft, adding both oxidation resistance and a classic look to the bar.

State-of-the-art Gauging
4

State-of-the-art Gauging

We use gauging normally employed in the aerospace industry to ensure that every bar that makes it to a customer is exactly as designed.

Barbell Durability

RUST RESISTANCE

The resistance of a barbell to oxidation depends on the type of steel and the coating. Barbells at the lower end of the spectrum will require more care and maintenance to preserve their appearance than barbells at the upper end of the spectrum.

BARBELL DURABILITY

The F Scale™ is a durability scale for barbells based on functional testing at stresses similar to what barbells experience when being dropped from overhead. Bars that have been treated with Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) are designated by having an R in their F Rating™. For more information on F Scale™ click here.

F SCALE™ APPLICATION

How a barbell is used will affect its durable lifespan and it's a key factor in determining what type of F Rating™ might be suitable for your gym's needs. This graph correlates the F Rating™ of a barbell with different types of usage in order to predict the durable lifespan. Using this data, we are able to make recommendations on what F Rating™ is appropriate for different training situations. With a rating of F8-R, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime of lifting (50+ years) in a powerlifting facility or home gym.

KEY FEATURES OF THE ROGUE 20KG OHIO POWER BAR - BLACK ZINC:

205,000 PSI Steel
1

205,000 PSI Steel

The Ohio Power Bar’s 29MM diameter steel shaft boasts a tensile strength of 205,000 PSI, delivering superior rigidity and virtually zero whip/flex. Machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the bar also features a snap-ring design and quality bronze bushings for a smooth, consistent feel. IPF approved for competition.

Aggressive Knurl
2

Aggressive Knurl

The bar includes single powerlifting marks and a center knurl, each featuring a deep, coarse pattern that produces a reliable grip / stick without being sharp or abrasive. Perfecting this knurl pattern is both a science and an art. Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus on new Haas machines (built in the USA) and fine-tuned and personally tested by the Rogue team.

Friction Welded Sleeves
3

Friction Welded Sleeves

A technique borrowed from the worlds of aviation and automotive manufacturing, the friction welding process creates a precision, forged-quality bond, resulting in superior strength and fatigue resistance, as well as a finer grain structure on the welded joint.

Two Finish Options
4

Two Finish Options

The 20KG version of the Ohio Power Bar is available in your choice of two quality finishes. The Zinc option (black shaft, bright sleeves) provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the Stainless Steel variation (with Chrome sleeves) creates the look and natural feel of bare steel with less upkeep required.

Lovely barbell and best for the price
I bought this just over a month ago and have had much better training sessions because of it. My squats feel much tighter and stable. The only issue I would have is that the spacing between the shaft and the plates is very thin and when benching and form breaks down the plates tend to hit my rack.

great bar, knurl is tough
Pros: 1) needed it shipped to a place in NJ that ships over here to Ukraine while I'm stationed here. Super fast shipping/processing. 2) Bar is LOVELY. Nicer than expected. Cons: 1) knurl - not gonna lie, its abrasive. In IPF you cant use gloves, so its bare hands and lemme tell ya - this bar hurts a bit when benching 175kg. BUT ==== I'll take a slightly more aggressive knurl like this and know it adds to more years of usage than a less aggressive knurl that wears out after a year or 2.

Great stiff bar and comfortable knurl
Been using this for 2 months, great bar for all the compound lifts. Only thing that took time to get used to with my monster lite rack is the walk in and out of squats, the thin collar gap makes it easy to hit the rack. Took some practice on walk outs to get used to

Great bar - fast delivery
I ordered the bar on Tuesday. It was delivered on Thursday. That´s only two days later and it came from Belgium! I´d say this is fast and I´m very satisfied. The package was solid and UPS did a good job. The Ohio Power Bar seems to be of very good quality so far - it has a very nice grip that is sharp but doesn´t feel sharp (that´s the best way I could describe it) The build quality is perfect. So far it is the best bar i´ve ever owned and I don´t think (and hope) that I will ever need another bar ever.
