Product Description

The Classic, Bare Steel Burgener & Rippetoe Bar, Now Made in the USA

Version 2.0 of the B&R Bar is built to the specifications of the bar’s original designers—strength training coaches Mike Burgener and Mark Rippetoe—with some enhancements from Rogue’s in-house manufacturing team. Along with custom-tailored dual knurl marks for Olympic lifting and powerlifting (including a passive center knurl), the bar now features a stronger 205,000 PSI shaft and an updated snap ring design. Quality bronze bushings produce a smooth, reliable spin, and the natural steel creates a great, old-school look and feel that few chrome/plated finishes can compete with.

The Classic, Bare Steel Burgener & Rippetoe Bar, Now Made in the USA

Version 2.0 of the B&R Bar is built to the specifications of the bar’s original designers—strength training coaches Mike Burgener and Mark Rippetoe—with some enhancements from Rogue’s in-house manufacturing team. Along with custom-tailored dual knurl marks for Olympic lifting and powerlifting (including a passive center knurl), the bar now features a stronger 205,000 PSI shaft and an updated snap ring design. Quality bronze bushings produce a smooth, reliable spin, and the natural steel creates a great, old-school look and feel that few chrome/plated finishes can compete with.

The B&R 2.0 is a 20KG barbell with 16.25" of loadable sleeve length. Because of its versatility, it’s a great addition to a garage gym or a larger training facility or CrossFit box.

Please Note: Like any fine piece of machined steel, the bare steel on the B&R Bar will require some upkeep. Occasionally brushing the bar down with 3-in-1 oil or WD-40 will create a beautiful patina look. This is how bars were made for decades and it really does produce an unmatched feel.

F SCALE™

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.

OXIDATION RATE

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.

Should come with warning labels
Wanted a center knurled bar so tried this. Rusted almost immediately. Should come with a warning label "Don't buy this for a commercial gym unless you want a rusty bar" Maybe in your garage it won't rust. Have a lot of respect for Burgenger and Castro individually but for 99% of people the rogue 2.0 bar or even an echo bar is a better choice. Should also come with 2nd warning label "Don't buy a center knurl bar if you do cleans until you've tried it with someone else's bar"

Great Bar!
Was looking for a good bar with center knurling. I've used the Ohio Power Bar, but found the knurling a little too aggressive for my tastes. I would have paid for a coated version of the bar, but my basement is very dry, and don't anticipate issues with excessive rust.

An amazing, all around bar.
I purchased this bar to leave in my landmine and have been very happy with it. It has become my go to bar for deadlifts and any other exercise done outside of my power rack. It is the perfect compliment to my Stainless Ohio Power Bar.

BR Bar is my gold standard for general use bars
This is my go to bar. Dual rings, more of an aggressive knurl (great grip but not to the point where it hurts your hands) and that raw steel feel. Its also a little thicker coming in at 29mm. For me nothing feels more stable in your hand like that raw steel. Sure, you need to maintain it a little, but its well worth it for that great hand to bar connection. I recently purchased a 2nd backup B&R bar from the Boneyard. Still trying to figure out where the imperfection is..!

Yucky rusty
We bought this together with a whole gym set in August and it's already rusty. Understood that we should clean it with oil but it shouldn't deteriorate that quick.
