Barbell Collars Comparison TEST (Rogue Aluminum, Lock-Jaw, Amazon)

Рет қаралды 25,398

Күн бұрын

I was lucky enough to get some barbell collars for Christmas and since I received two sets I thought I'd grab my old collars, strap them to my barbell, abuse them a little, and see how they perform. I'll cover the details for each and share information and thoughts on what I believe are the three tiers of collars and which are the best and why. I also test them on deadlifts to see which performs best under actual lifting conditions.

Good to see the difference so clearly demonstrated. For us beginners would be good to see if the cheap spring collars that often come with a cheap bar are worth sticking with at first. Would like to see content on choosing a bar and weight set. Some offer 80kg total, some 100kg total, with different increments, some don't have 20kgs plates, some have 4x1.25kg plates instead of 2x1.25kg; would like to know how to choose.

@blg020 2 ай бұрын

Spring collars work perfectly fine. I used to workout with my brother in law for years at his gym. He had a few spring collars and the basic lock jaws. We did all kinds of lifts and even dropped the weight from overhead. The springs have been around for ever and work but the lock jaw were easier to put on and take off. They also did hold the weight in place better.

@ghostofmanitou6864 2 жыл бұрын

I don't have a lot of experience with other manufacturers but the lock jaw collars seem perfectly acceptable. I have the pro and 3 sets of their axle collars (my loadable dumbbells are axle) they grab firm and have never given me any problems. Exactly what I expect from a collar, they work and I never have to worry about them.

@GlucksGym 2 жыл бұрын

The lock Jaws are pretty good though Rogue's are a step up. Probably unnecessary for most stuff unless you're deadlifting or doing a lot of Oly lifts where there's some impact

@georgehernandez1502 Жыл бұрын

I have the Rogue in ABS and in aluminium. Both became loose after some dozens of drops from snatches and jerks. In my opinion the metallic ones doesn't deserve the extra money, and the extra weight of the ABS ones make them more useful to add half kilogram (around 600 grams to be more excat) to your weights. If you want a propper grip for olympic weightlifting then you need calibrated collars, which weight 2.5 Kg each and are much expensive but truly ramain in place. So for everything else just go for the vcheapest ones in ABS since the more expensive in metal lose the grip very fast and the plastic pieces (as the lever) can break also easily.

Why do you only use them for deadlifts?

@GlucksGym 2 жыл бұрын

Because the grip is excessive for things like squat or bench (stuff where the plates aren't going to move) and these have a heck of a grip which means they also take effort to clamp and unclamp. Great collars though.

the rogue alu collars cost in germany incl. taxing 73€ and the hg 2.0 cost 40€. Which one would you pick? I need one who clips easy

@GlucksGym 3 жыл бұрын

The aluminum are the best option. The hg are basically lock-jaws so you could see what those would cost you as well. I own both and use both but those aluminums are on another level. If you're not throwing it around much it might not matter.
