ultimatemk309 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Does anyone have experience with this bar? I need a replacement for my garage gym to replace my cheapo Academy bar. The diameter is supposed to be a little bigger than a standard Olympic bar which is nice. It will be mainly used for the big 3 lifts, no Olympic movements. This seems like a good deal, but are there any others out there under $200 that would be of equal quality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you can afford I would recommend the Ohio power bar: http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-ohio-power-bar It's $250+shipping, but it's the last barbell you'll ever need to buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I have it too. It's a great bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 My Ohio Power Bar came in last night. First workout with it today. Phenomenal. I got the black zinc vs. bare steel because it's gonna live in the shed which is a rough place. I'm sure the beater bar is fine, but I'd recommend throwing down the extra $50 for the OPB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The Jesup power bar is another good one for the price. Love benching with mine. Sucks for deads, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Jesup power bar...the thing is indestructible. Does it suck because of the knurling, or is there another reason? Been thinking about getting one also.

maidenfan Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Bit late, but I just bought this bar. For the price, it cannot be beat - stainless and made here in the US. My only gripe is I wish it had a center ghost knurl and the fact it's a limited run (they are no longer making 28.5mm bars). It's the same stainless as their $800 bar. http://americanbarbell.com/products/the-stainless-steel-wod-bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
