Rogue MG-4CN Narrow Multi Grip Camber Bar

The new and improved Rogue MG-4CN Multi-Grip Bar now comes standard with two sets of 32mm thick handles (at 12-degree and 16-degree angles) and redesigned, lockable sleeves in two length options (9” or 15.5”). In combination with the MG-4CN’s narrow, maneuverable frame construction (5” inside width, 3.5” camber depth), customizable handle spacing, and convenient rackability, this upgraded model represents Rogue’s premier multi-grip bar system to date.

3 Key Upgrades with the New MG-4CN:

  • Lockable Sleeves - Using an included Allen Wrench, athletes can easily switch the sleeves from unlocked (allowing them to spin freely like a standard barbell) to locked (zero movement for max stability)
  • 2 Sets of Knurled 32MM Handles are now included standard - (1) 12-degree angled pair and (1) 16-degree angled pair + the option to add an extra set a la carte
  • Nylon Washers - Help protect the frame’s finish every time the adjustable handles are repositioned


Customer feedback was the most important factor in the MG-4CN’s redesign. After the original model was released, many athletes informed us that the rotating sleeves—while helpful for training their stabilizer muscles—also limited the bar’s overall versatility. To address this, we’ve now made it easy to lock and unlock the sleeves using the included Allen Wrench. When in the locked position, the new sleeves deliver exceptional stability for traditional multi-grip bar training. Without raising the price, we also expanded the standard MG-4CN kit to include 2 sets of the extra-thick (32mm) handles most preferred by our customers; one pair angled at 12-degrees and the other at 16-degrees. That still leaves room for an optional third pair (available a la carte) for customers whose workout programs require additional handle positions or angles. 

The new sleeves of the MG-4CN Multi-Grip Bar are available in your choice of a Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish, and can still be selected with either 9” or 15.5” of loadable length. With both options, the distance between the sleeves is a standard 51.5”, making the bar rackable on any Rogue power rack, squat stand, rig, or bench. 

The removable handles feature the same precision knurl pattern as our Ohio Bars, and are also available in Proprietary Matte Black or Stainless Steel, ensuring a “true” feel of the knurling. Using the included allen keys and protective nylon washers, the threaded handles can be attached to the frame of the Camber Narrow Multi-Grip Bar at 1-inch intervals, meaning that a set can be functionally spaced anywhere from a minimum of 6” to a maximum of 26” apart. This enables athletes to customize their bar for multiple movements—from close grip presses and triceps work to biomechanically optimized grips at shoulder-width and beyond. Handle reconfigurations are easy to perform and well suited to multiple athlete use, with the nylon washers helping to prevent any marring of the frame’s finish across repeated adjustments. 

The 41” long frame portion of the bar is built in the USA from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” plates, a machined socket, and a Texture Black powder coat finish. The cambered shape with 3.5” of drop allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and also helps to improve stability, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. At an inside width of 5”, the frame of the MG-4CN is also several inches narrower than our first run of MG-4C Multi-Grip Bars, allowing for easier maneuverability, according to feedback we’ve received from many users. 

The sleeves are assembled to the shafts by our barbell assembly team, but to save on shipping costs, we developed a unique interlocking taper design that allows for easy assembly with a single nut using the included wrench. The joint created by this interlocking taper is every bit as strong as a weld, and will hold up to whatever an athlete throws at it. Even after the nut is removed, it takes a lot of force with a mallet to free the shaft from the socket.

IMPORTANT: The MG-4CN Bar ships with the sleeve assemblies disconnected from the frame, but all required hardware and tools for assembly are provided, including a set of 5/16” allen keys + 1/2” x 2-½” button heads bolts for the handles and a 1.5” Monster Wrench for securing the sleeve to the frame.

Please Note: Due to their shorter length, the 5” long handles of the MG-4CN are NOT compatible with all bars in the MG-4 series.

Key Features of the MG-4CN Narrow Camber Multi-Grip Bar

Loading
1

New Lockable Sleeves

The redesigned sleeves of the MG-4CN can now be switched to a “locked” position, stopping any sleeve rotation to ensure superior stability for traditional multi-grip bar training. This lock can also be easily reversed using the included wrench, allowing a smooth sleeve rotation similar to our Ohio Bar; a good option for focused training of the stabilizer muscles. Customers can choose between two quality sleeve finish options (Stainless Steel and Proprietary Matte Black), both of which offer excellent corrosion resistance. The standard sleeve spacing on the MG-4CN also enables convenient rackability on any standard rack/rig/stand.
Please Note: The sleeve assemblies ship disconnected from the frame and can be attached using the included Monster Wrench. They can also be removed and replaced, but removal will require additional tools (such as a rubber mallet) and a means of securing the frame in place.

Narrow, Cambered Frame

The cambered 41” long frame is built in the USA from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” laser-cut plates and a machined socket. It has a 3.5” camber depth and an inside width of just 5”, which is nearly 3” narrower than our original MG-4C Multi-Grip Bar. According to feedback from many users, the narrow frame improves the overall maneuverability of the bar. The cambered shape of this version of the MG-4CN also allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and can help improve stability and reduce wobbling, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. Mounting holes for the handles are spaced 1” on center, and the frame is finished in a Texture Black powder coat.

Adjustable Knurled Handles

The MG-4CN comes standard with (1) pair of 12-degree angled handles and (1) pair of 16-degree angled handles, all of which measure an extra-thick 32mm in outside diameter and 5” in grip length, with your choice of a Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish. With their threaded design, these handles can be positioned anywhere along the bar’s frame, using the included allen keys for attachment and nylon washers to protect the frame’s finish. Functional spacing options range from a minimum or 6” to a max of 26”. Keep in mind, the ideal biomechanical angle for an efficient, safe lift expands as the handles move further apart. Rogue recommends the following handle spacing for Angled Handles when pressing:

12-degree: 6” to 16" spacing
16-degree: 12" to 26" spacing

Additional configurations may work for other movements (ex. some athletes prefer closely spaced, angled handles for skull crushers, or an extra set of straight handles for other movements).

Interlocking Taper Design and Machined Nut

The shaft of the sleeve connects to the frame using an interlocking taper; a staple of the machine tool industry for more than a century. The conical shape of the shaft is inserted into a conical cylinder that, when tightened with the machined hex nut, creates an extremely rigid joint.

Barbell Sleeves in 2 Lengths

We’re offering the MG-4CN’s sleeves in two length options, both of which are rackable and lockable.

  • 15.5” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 58 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 4 handles). Available with Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish.
  • 9” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 48 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 4 handles). Available with Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish.

*The shaft is stainless steel in all versions, regardless of sleeve finish or length.

6

Customizable Neutral Grip

The MG-4CN provides a user specific neutral grip for athletes who are looking to reduce stress on the wrists and shoulders during pressing movements or target the triceps for better lockouts. Additionally, with the ability to select the angle and adjust the spacing of the handles, athletes are able to switch from a close grip (for working the triceps) to a wider grip (for targeting the pecs), all while keeping the angle of the hands in an optimal anatomic position.

Great stable bar!
These bar is great; it position your shoulder joint in a more natural (neutral) position for a greater push, more range of motion, more comfortable and you can feel greater chest/tricep contraction! It is very stable, i would say 80% stable and 20 unstable. The inestability talks more about your ability incorporate your stability muscles. If you feel it too unstable is because you need to work those weak stability muscles! Both big muscles (pec major, minor) as well as small stability muscle are important to train! Moreover, training small accesory muscle gives you a more solid foundation to put more force in a safer enviroment of the joint! I got the 20mm stainless handle and they are very comfy and perfect knurling!! Get them! It makes the bar’s look stand out!

Great Accessory option for home gym
I got this to increase accessory type bench movements for goal of 315 barbell sets for bodybuilding type activity. I can say 9" sleeves are fine with Olympic 1" plates obviously! I would only consider this narrow camber bar or the alternate Rogue Kabuki Cadillac bar. for this accessory movement. Every bit off center from a narrow grip causes instability and shake with fatigue, so be careful and would humbly recommend this for some volume only.

Highly Recommended
In my opinion Rogue hit a homerun with this one. This bar is solid. The craftmanship is perfect. Longitudinal it is well balance from sleeve to sleeve (meaning one side of the bar is not heavier than the other). Now with that said, it is unstable but not ridiculous unstable when bench pressing. Everything about this camber bar is as advertised. Unless you are using bumper plates, or you are Hercules!... Hercules!... the 9" sleeves should be more than enough. I have the Rogue machined plates and 4 of the 45 lbs. plates will fit with enough room to put a collar at the end of the sleeve. The bar does weight 44 lbs. with just the standard handles. Keep in mind that as you add handles the weight of the bar will increase. I also ordered it with one 20-degree handle kit. That increased the weight of my bar to 47.60 lbs. The only thing is that Rogue should have is different color selections for the frame. I do highly recommend the stainless-steel sleeves version.

Need to add two more holes.
The good: This is a great bar with excellent build quality. Different grip angles with multiple holes for mounting makes it easy to personalize for your needs. Feels great on the shoulders and gives a great chest workout. The option to purchase two sleeve lengths. IMO the short sleeves are the ones to get. There’s plenty of length to load up plates and the shorter length is easier to move into my rack. The bad: The widest set of holes for mounting the grips are to narrow. There was plenty of room so I drilled two more holes on each end. Spaced 1” center to center. This let me mount the 20 degree handles a total of 4” farther apart. Actually, this let me mount all three sets of handles 4 inches apart (two inches on each side). I’m 6’1 and this bar now feels perfect for my shoulder width. Plenty of room between my hand and nut that holds the sleeves. It has ribbed sleeves. This is subjective, but I’m not a fan of ribbed sleeves. They make it harder to slide plates on & off and they make it unnecessarily noisy. Besides, Rogue sells some sweet aluminum locking collars that we all should be using.

Good bar. Poor quality on powered coat.
Bar is barely a month old and rusting in the corners. It does the job but for such an expensive bar you would expect better craftsman ship.

Excellent bar
Excellent bar for bad shoulders. Starting to be able to load more weight. There seems much more wobble when empty than when loaded with some weight. Go figure. Different than the earthquake bar - heavier means more instability. Takes some getting used to. I bought the axle collars for these but couldn't close them. Regular Rogue HG collars work fine.
