Is the Rogue Ohio bar the best bang for the buck?

They're pretty nice. I bought one this past fall and I love it. Was between the Ohio Bar or a Texas Power Bar. I'm glad I chose the Ohio Bar.

10-4, that’s the two I was wondering about.

I was really wanting that deep knurling and the Texas Power Bar has it. 777 told me the knurling on the Ohio Bar would be plenty and he was right.

It took me a few weeks of lifting for my hands to harden up from it.

I'm certain that was the right choice for me.

What kind of barbell do you use now? And what kind of training do you want to be doing with your new one?

Rogue Ohio bar is definitely one of the best multipurpose bars there is available. But it has no center knurling for squat, just fyi. Similar bars to the Rogue Ohio that also have a center knurl would be a TX power bars "All-American Bar" or their Starting Strength bar or if you want a Rogue bar you could get a B&R 2.0

Ohio bar has no center knurling, Ohio Power Bar is my favorite bar for everything except deadlifts. It’s stiff so I use a Texas power bodybuilding bar for deadlifts. Little more whip and smaller diameter

Edit for clarification: Ohio Bar and Ohio Power Bar are not the same thing. Power bar has the center knurling for squats
