Rogue Training Bar – Women

Rogue Training Bar – Women

The Rogue Women’s Training Bar is a mid-range USA-made women’s Olympic training bar.

Equipped with a 25mm shaft, Olympic knurl marks, bronze bushings, and a 190,000 PSI tensile strength, it’s a good option for an all-around training bar. It’s not going to compete with a more expensive bearing bar, but for the price, it has nice features that will appeal to the intermediate and under class.

Features & Highlights

• Black Zinc Finish – Black Zinc is a cost-efficient plating that does an OK job at fighting off rust. You won’t get the same feel as you would with a non-plated finish like bare steel, stainless steel, etc… but you get a good blend of feel and rust resistance without the larger price tag.
• 25mm Shaft – The 25mm shaft on the Rogue Women’s Training Bar is a standard diameter on a female bar.
• No Center Knurl – The Rogue Women’s Training Bar does not offer a center knurl, which is useful on high rep training sessions and/or in cases where a lifter wants a more comfortable bar.
• Grooved Bright Zinc Sleeves – The sleeves on this bar have fine grooves that help keep the plates on the bar better when you’re not using collars. The downside is that grooved sleeves make an audible zip noise when loading/unloading plates. Bright zinc is a fairly common sleeve finish that will hide blemishes well and provide ample rust fighting qualities.
• American Made – This bar is made in America.
