@BasementBrandon
@BasementBrandon 9 күн бұрын
The rogue is 28.5mm and has thicker collars than this. If you're looking for a general purpose power bar, the rogue may be better as for the reasons why comp collars turn some off who don't compete. The rogue has their aggro 2, which depending on your preference you might find perfect or a bit on the aggressive side.

The edge of Olympic equipment should have a radial bevel - there should not even be a 45 degree diagonal bevel. This is supposedly a requirement, but no one follows it. I have an EAKO barbell and it is the only one with all the edges on the radius including the collar too. A lot of models now have a large phase, but mostly they are still diagonal. The beam happens, but it is subtle, not a full beam. It's a deal, but it improves the fit and safety in the event of the bar falling, e.g. on the foot. it will still break, crush, but probably won't cut the skin

That is the lowest price that I've ever seen on a SS bar. This could be the bar that starts to bring the market for high quality barbells down to within reason. I'm okay with the prices, if I think a price on one is too high then I don't buy it. I just think along the lines if I was the manufacturer, I would get the price on the low end and sell more product because most of the time while they're buying your affordable product they are looking to buy other things, just makes more sense to me instead of charging $400 or more for a barbell. Eleiko charging $1000 -$1,200 is a joke to me. There has never been 2 barbells made by anybody that should cost what Eleiko charges for one. IMO, you would have to be in the buisness or be a fool to be one of those Eleiko bars.
