Our Thoughts
The Ohio Power Bar from Rogue Fitness is an excellent power bar at a great price. This is your typical product from Rogue, meaning the quality and experience will be better than ideal. The knurling on this bar is really aggressive and provides a glue-like grip when deadlifting! I've used this bar for many workouts over the past few years and my experience has been excellent.
The cerakote was my finish of choice because I like the red, of course, and the cerakote finish will provide great resistance against corrosion. With the fluctuating weather in Canada it's important to consider the humidity levels in your gym. Unless you want to be maintaining your barbell every other week, you might want to consider a cerakote finish or stainless steel barbell (SS will be the most expensive, however SS will provide the best resistance against corrosion).
The Ohio Power Bar from Rogue is a very safe purchase and I'm sure you'd be happy with this barbell. There is a reason this is one of the most commonly used power bars!

Our 29MM Ohio Power Bar is now available in a Cerakote finish, with a range of exclusive colorways to choose from. This unique polymer-ceramic composite coating was originally popularized in the gun industry for its durability in thin applications, and it offers up to 100x the corrosion resistance of standard black zinc.
Aside from the finish, the Cerakote Ohio Power Bar is manufactured to the same general specifications as the original model, combining a 205,000 PSI, zero-flex steel shaft with quality bronze bushings and a snap ring design for a smooth, consistent spin. The bar features single powerlifting knurl marks and center knurling, machined in a pattern that’s deep and coarse without being sharp or abrasive. This makes the Ohio Power Bar a perfectly honed workhorse for the bench, squat, and deadlift.
The 45LB Cerakote Ohio Power Bar is machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, USA, and currently comes in the four colorway options listed below. Note: The Rogue logo on each shaft is slightly off-center due to the center knurling.
