Product Description

MEN'S 20KG POWERLIFTING BARBELL

Engineered for the platform, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar excels in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. The 29MM stainless steel shaft provides minimal flex for maximum stability and is paired with a deep knurl crafted for heavy pulls. Whether you are chasing white lights or looking to get the best barbell for your home or training facility, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar is the premier barbell for the big three lifts.

PRECISION MEETS POWER

Every 20KG Ohio Power Bar is precisely machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that is proven ideal for heavy powerlifting. We combine a 200,000 PSI tensile strength, low flexion shaft, IPF powerlifting knurl marks and our signature Ohio Power Bar knurling. The knurling is machined in a pattern that is deep and coarse, providing an ideal surface for heavy pulls without being sharp or abrasive. Additionally, it features a matching center knurl that adheres to your back when you need it most. 

Note on Stainless Steel: Barbells made from raw steel are not plated and therefore marks from the machining process may be visible. Stainless steel shafts will show CNC processing marks. These are cosmetic and will not impact the barbell's performance.


ENHANCED FEATURES

Best In Class Durability: Engineered to withstand the heavy demands required from the home gym to the commercial facility. Read more here.

2X Quieter Performance: Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.

Low Profile Sleeve Design: The sleeves are now machined using a new low-profile sleeve design that allows for easier than ever loading and unloading of plates.


UNMATCHED REPUTATION

The Rogue 20KG Ohio Power Bar has set the standard as the premier choice for powerlifting barbells in the industry. With our latest edition, we've taken our flagship power bar to new levels, introducing the most precision machined Ohio Power Bar yet.

Best In Class Durability

With a F-Scale rating of F10-R, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands that powerlifting places on barbells today, whether it be used daily in the garage or in a high-use commercial gym.

LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN

Our new low-profile sleeve design makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever. A chrome finished sleeve contrasts with the stainless shaft, adding both oxidation resistance and a more classic look to this state-of-the-art barbell.

Loading
Loading

2X QUIETER PERFORMANCE

Using precision machining, we are able to tighten the fit of the sleeve on the shaft which means a smoother spin, a more connected feeling while lifting and significant noise reduction.

How It's Made
1

FRICTION WELDING

The collars of the sleeves are friction welded, creating the strongest sleeves in the industry. This bond is as strong as if machined from a single piece of steel, while saving on waste and cost. 

Rogue Work Hardening
2

Rogue Work Hardening

Our patented, proprietary process more than doubles the durability and lifespan of the barbell shaft compared to our competitors. 

State-of-the-art Gauging
3

State-of-the-art Gauging

We use gauging normally employed in the aerospace industry to ensure that every bar that makes it to a customer is exactly as designed.

Barbell Durability

RUST RESISTANCE

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.

BARBELL DURABILITY

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.

Loading

F SCALE™ APPLICATION

How a barbell is used will affect its durable lifespan and it's a key factor in determining what type of F Rating™ might be suitable for your gym's needs. This graph correlates the F Rating™ of a barbell with different types of usage in order to predict the durable lifespan. Using this data, we are able to make recommendations on what F Rating™ is appropriate for different training situations. With a rating of F10-R, the 20KG Ohio Power Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime of lifting (50+ years) in a powerlifting facility or home gym.

KEY FEATURES OF THE ROGUE 20KG OHIO POWER BAR:

200,000 PSI Steel
1

200,000 PSI Steel

The Ohio Power Bar’s 29MM diameter steel shaft boasts a tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, delivering superior rigidity and virtually zero whip/flex. Machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the bar also features a snap-ring design and quality bronze bushings for a smooth, consistent feel. IPF approved for competition.

Aggressive Knurl
2

Aggressive Knurl

The bar includes single powerlifting marks and a center knurl, each featuring a deep, coarse pattern that produces a reliable grip / stick without being sharp or abrasive. Perfecting this knurl pattern is both a science and an art. Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus on new Haas machines (built in the USA) and fine-tuned and personally tested by the Rogue team.

Friction Welded Sleeves
3

Friction Welded Sleeves

A technique borrowed from the worlds of aviation and automotive manufacturing, the friction welding process creates a precision, forged-quality bond, resulting in superior strength and fatigue resistance, as well as a finer grain structure on the welded joint.

Two Finish Options
4

Two Finish Options

The 20KG version of the Ohio Power Bar is available in your choice of two quality finishes. The Black Zinc option (black shaft, bright sleeves) provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the Stainless Steel variation (with Chrome sleeves) creates the look and natural feel of bare steel with less upkeep required.

A great bar gets even better with new updates
I've owned a lot of bars from Rogue. As someone who competes in powerlifting, it's nice to have a bar that not only adheres to IPF specs, but has a great build quality with knurling that is just right. I recently rebought this bar as Rogue has now updated the sleeves to have a tighter tolerance and smoother sleeves. They've found a way to make a great bar even better.

New and Improved!!!
I have a few other Ohio Power bars, this one having the updated bushings/sleeve tolerances is head and shoulders above the others when it comes to fit and finish. The stainless is always aesthetically pleasing, but coupled with the updated low profile sleeves it looks and performs like a bar twice it’s price.

Great bar but chipped
I like the bar but was kind of bummed out the ends chipped within a week despite using the rogue bumper plates and not doing anything crazy.

My First Power Bar
I got this pretty recently, but I’ve only used low quality bars before this. The stainless steel is nice, and 29mm feels especially nice on squat, coming from 28mm. Overall it seems pretty good, but looking closely, the knurl on mine isn’t quite as nice as I had hoped for, in some areas it’s visually clear that the volcano dip is off center on the peaks and it’s definitely sharper than I expected, very uncomfortable, but I don’t need chalk. Maybe I’ll get used to it and it won’t be so bad in the future.

Even better than expected
After wanting a good bar for years I finally pulled the trigger on this bar and the difference is even bigger than I thought it would be. I already have a cheap 32mm no-name bar and a good, but worn down bar from a reputable brand (it is 50 years old, so about time for an upgrade) I wanted a powerbar and I wanted something stainless as I lift in a damp garage. The first thing that struck me was how good the knurling was! It hits a goldilocks zone that is sharp and sticky while not being painful. I have always thought people that wrote about not needing chalk anymore was exaggerating, but I have only used chalk once after I got it and it didn't really do anything. The second thing I Noticed is that this bar is a lot more tactile, it is hard to explain, but it is really easy to feel what is going on when I lift. Things like pulling the slack out of the bar in deadlifts made a lot more sense with this bar.

Ah man.. This bar just feels awesome in your hands and on your back. It’s hard to put into proper context but it’s just what moving weight is all about. The stainless steel is awesome. Save up and treat yourself for bday, Christmas, anniversary… whatever. Just get it and feel good. Nothing else to say.
