Product Description

Rogue’s original “shorty” bar, the Rogue C-70 Bar is a shortened version of our flagship Ohio Bar, utilizing a multipurpose knurl pattern and dual knurl marks. This compact bar allows you to perform all strength movements and accessories needed from a barbell; from squats, bench presses, and deadlifts to Olympic lifts- clean and snatch, and everything in between in the tight spaces of a home gym or busy training facility.


EFFICIENCY MEETS FUNCTIONALITY

The compact design doesn’t equate to lifting light weight. With a loadable sleeve length of 12" this bar has the capacity for (4) 45lb competition style bumpers or (8) 45lb standard iron plates on each end, while still leaving ample room for collars. While the 43” spacing between the sleeves doesn’t allow this bar to be racked on traditional power racks or squat stands, you can use this on squat stands with independent bases, like our S-4 Squat Stand. This barbell allows for a wide range of strength movements all within limited space constraints.

For those looking to maximize the weight on shorter sleeves, the Rogue USA Olympic Plates or Rogue LB Calibrated Plates will allow you to exceed a 700lb+ total bar load.


CRAFTED FOR VERSATILITY

Every C-70 Bar is specially machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that has been proven optimal for both Olympic lifting and Powerlifting. The 190,000 PSI tensile strength shaft features dual knurl marks for Olympic Weightlifting (IWF) and Powerlifting (IPF), and our signature Ohio knurling pattern that is carefully refined for a solid yet non-abrasive grip suitable for multi-purpose strength training.


UNMATCHED REPUTATION

For over a decade, Rogue has set the industry standard as making the best and most durable barbells. With the Rogue C-70 edition, we've taken our flagship barbell to new heights, delivering one of our most versatile bars to date. This bar represents more than just the Rogue brand. Its name is a testament to where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in continuing to make the best weightlifting bars in the market.

How It's Made
Rogue Work Hardening
1

Rogue Work Hardening

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

FIT AND FINISH
2

FIT AND FINISH

The black zinc coating used on the Rogue C-70 Bar is a tried and true coating for barbells, offering resistance to corrosion while being thin enough to not take away from the feel of the knurl.

BRIGHT ZINC SLEEVE COATING
3

BRIGHT ZINC SLEEVE COATING

A bright zinc finished sleeve contrasts with the black zinc shaft, adding both oxidation resistance and a classic look to the bar.

State-of-the-art Gauging
4

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.

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 F8-R, the Rogue C-70 Bar is rated to last 16 years in a high volume CrossFit gym and will outlast a lifetime of lifting in an Olympic Weightlifting gym, a home gym or a Powerlifting gym.

Key Features of the Rogue C-70 Bar:

Space-Saving Efficiency
1

Space-Saving Efficiency

The advantages of a short bar go well beyond competition lanes. In large gyms, the design of the C-70 allows more athletes to train simultaneously, and in a cramped garage gym, the shorter shaft saves on space while the 12” loadable sleeve length still lets you load up the weight.

Fit and Finish
2

Fit and Finish

The Rogue C-70 Bar is manufactured in the US using 190,000 PSI tensile strength steel and has been proven to be one of the best steel variants for a multi-purpose barbell. Each barbell shaft is ground and polished prior to machining which allows the bar to have a very smooth finish. The black zinc finish is a tried and true coating for barbells, offering resistance to corrosion while being thin enough to not take away from the feel of the knurl.

Just as Good as the Ohio Bar...
but only weighs 35lbs, is shorter and can be used in tighter spaces. Can't be racked though which we have no problem with. It's a great addition to our selection of Rogue Barbells

Completely Changed Our Space
This was a godsend. It fits perfectly into our smaller gym and has allowed us to optimize the space to where we actually are able to use our home gym and invest in some other pieces of equipment for the area. Quality is very high (which does not come as a surprise). 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect combination of size and weight
This bar is the perfect combination of size and weight for sharing. While only weighing 35lbs, the bar has the larger diameter grip size like the heavier ones do.

Another great bar from Rogue, but!
My recommendation if you don’t need the sleeve length purchased the C-70s. Other than that this is another great bar by Rogue

Not an Olympic standard Bar.
I was surprised that the Bar his not the standard length, and doesn't fit the most common gym racks. Which is actually written in the description, hence my mistake. My assumption was 35lb equals 15 KG.

Great Bar
I have indy squat stands so racking is not a problem. I have a small space so the size is perfect for my shop/gym. The knurling is great not to aggressive. If I were to buy any other bar it would be the C-70S.

Love This Bar
I love this bar. I have already used it about 6 times and am very impressed. Since I used Indy Squat Stands racking is not a problem. The knurling is just right for me.

All time favorite!
Save yourself space. Save yourself time loading the bar. Favorite for cleans, thrusters, snatches, rows, etc. love this bar for my home gym setup. I was worried it might be too narrow for snatching, but that wasn’t the case at all. I have limited space so I didn’t want a full size bar, this was ideal for me. I also load it in my truck and take it various places with me so the smaller size and 35lb weight is just easier to transport. This bar can load up a pretty significant amount. It may not be someone’s ideal for maxing, as you cap out more quickly than the standard bars, however it can hold 300+ which for me makes it perfect for daily use as I am not going that high regularly. In the picture it’s 305lbs with a collar, although with 45lbs I am sure you could load it more efficiently for maximum weight. I don’t need another one right now, but I want one :) thank you Rogue! It’s too narrow to fit on a standard width rack, but that’s not why you need this one, so that’s irrelevant in my opinion.
