It has one really fatal flaw though. The westside power bar 2 0 is basically the westside barbell branded version of the ohio power bar.

Currently the only coating combination you can get is black zinc shaft bright sleeves. I d trust dropping a bar with my life on it too. It shares all the same specifications as the 45 pound variant. We spec d out a min strength steel of 190k and bought it in mass for all the bars other than the power bar.

That is same shaft diameter tensile strength knurl depth bronze bushings and so on. The updated knurl pattern was chosen specifically to louie s standards and is deep and coarse without being sharp or abrasive. The pictured rogue bar 2 0 was the le edition they had last black friday but is no longer available. The rogue bar 2 0 the rogue bar 2 0 is a black zinc barbell with bright zinc sleeves.

The zinc coating rogue uses is really nice but it s also really slippery initially so you might want to wear a shirt when you clean until the bar dulls out.
