I got my pyrros bar on Jan 2nd. I’m super impressed so far. The rotation is just right for me

Love your reviews the only barbell I have picked up and felt a difference was aPendley but can’t find reviews for Pendley hope u do one

Thanks for the in-depth review! This will be my next bar! I actually prefer a slightly more aggressive knurl as I also deadlift with my 28mm Oly bars. =O

Rogue's most expensive barbell is their Russian barbell, which I had the pleasure of training at Rogue's training hall in Ohio during AO1 this year. With that being said, my coach loves Uesaka barbell's, and at our gym we have a training Eleiko Men and women's BB. I just don't like the aggressive nature of Eleiko, and their customer service has put me off of wanting anything eleiko. Plus, with the nice "IWF" certification sticker, the Pyrros Dimas' Rogue bar makes it all that much sexier. We mostly use Rogue's WL barbell for training, (we have 2 bushing WL, and 2 Bearing WL BB) for men's. One reason why I don't like the free spinning barbell is when you're performing a C&J, or even a snatch, imagine that when you catch the snatch at the bottom, the inertia generated by the spin is gonna put you off balance at the bottom position, that may lead to a miss lift, or a press out (which is another miss lift anyways). Same with a clean and jerk. When you catch the clean and stand it up. You don't want to be waiting forever for the bar to stop spinning to go for your jerk. If you catch it properly, you may pass out because the bar will cut off your wind pipe at heavy weight! Again, you want the bar to be as stable as possible, not free spinning during your movement. Sure, it may help on the clean, but going into the jerk, you don't want to miss the lift because of the barbell spin! plus, all domestic (US) major weightlifting competition (AO series, Nationals, etc.) are all using Rogue Pyrros Bars. Even the warmup area uses training bars! But I would like to go to the boneyard and pick up a couple of the EU bars for $250!!!! jeezus!

Those Nobulls are fire!

Do you have any reviews on the new Adipowers? :)

Trying to decide between this and the regular OLY WL bar. I like the idea of a more controlled spin, but worried about the more aggressive knurling. Do you find the knurling on this one too aggressive? I know it depends on how on it’s used, but I do tend to see a number of recent reviews saying it’s too aggressive, and is better suited for big singles. I wouldn’t be using it for high reps, but I primarily would be doing Oly complex/EMOM style rep schemes.

I notice quite a lot of barbells I've used have that annoying clang and rattle when dropped. I don't know the model names, but I do recall using a Eleiko and American Barbell barbell that had no clang and rattle when dropped. Have you had the same experience with barbells you've reviewed? Do you happen to know what it is about the barbell that causes this? Any advice is appreciated 😁

I've used Uesaka, Eleiko competition WL bar and Rogue WL bar. U, E's spin are way more controlled than Rogue. Maybe the Pyrros bar is what a competition WL bar should be.

I have never bought a bar like that by myself, but I am fascinated by the Pyrrsos bar because of the way it's made as well as it's stainless, durable character. Now what would you say what should it be used for? Is it pure competition material, or could you have it for your training as well, so that you have one universal tool?

i am looking at the eleiko competition barbell and the rogue pyrross barbell. i like the stainless steel sleves and shaft of the pyros barbell, however the eleiko name and fact its used at all olympic competitions has me confused. which would you choose if money wasnt an issue? go with pyros stainless steal or eleiko which is chrome.

Is that mean you got the pyrros with stainless sleeves or chrome sleeves?

I have a Eleiko Powerlock bar, which has the same knurling as the Eleiko IWF Training bar ("Aggressive" according to Eleiko, so 1 level sharper than the Performance bar) and I have the Rogue regular Olympic weightlifting bar. It sounds like the Pyrros bar knurling is more aggressive than the regular Rogue Oly bar, but less aggressive than the Eleiko? Or did I misundertand?

What do you mean by chrome sleeves and oxidation on plates? Is it better to have chrome sleeves than stainless steel sleeves?

Just purchased. Thoughts on it now? Do you still have it and do you love it. Thanks.

Between the pyrros bar and the rogue training barbell which would you recommend for home gym training? I don’t compete nor can lift heavy and will do Olympic lift sometimes as I am new to these lifts. I heard bearing is the best but will I know the difference?

What is the difference between the ROGUE PYRROS BAR - 28MM - STAINLESS STEEL and ROGUE OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING BAR - STAINLESS STEEL? And is the stainless steel sleeves worth the extra $100?

I noticed in the close up that your Euro bar is getting dark spots near the sleeve, how can it be oxidising through through the ceramic coating?

How often is cleaning recommended?

Yummi piroschhhh

Do you prefer this or the American Barbell SS bar?

Starfish catch on the clean gets a 2/6
