Need a new barbell for my home gym. My son is powerlifting. The current bar we have (cheap CAP barbell) is very slick, making deadlifting difficult for him. Looking for recs for a new barbell. Looks like at the meets, they use Rogue bars, but not sure which model. Thanks.

Rogue Ohio power bar. Power bar, not the Ohio bar or whatever the other one is. Texas power bar is another great one

Get the rogue Ohio power bar. Best bang for your buck!

Great bar. Stainless steel if you’re worried about rust.

Good point. I have the black zinc one. The coating is completely worn off where I put my hands and where it sits on my rear delts. Heavily used for 4 years. I would do stainless if I had a do over. Maybe a bare steel and just keep it oiled. Bare steel feels different

i actually prefer my rogue bare steel regular ohio bar over all others but if your son is into powerlifting get a power bar

either the rogue ohio power bar or a texas power bar. I think most meets in the south use the Texas Power bar.
