This is our daily driver bar. No issues with the coating after several years in garage with questionable climate control. I like the knurling; it aggressive enough without shredding my hands. The center knurl is sharp enough I won’t push press with the bar. Build quality is typical of Rogue; I did buy ours new before I was more versed in the ways of marketplace and before I heard the gospel of Texas Power Bars.

Mine are actually red. Used in my home gym and several strongman competitions. A little beat up now from a lot of use with stones; the zippers have broken so I taped them. The covers have help up well otherwise and the pads just have some minor depressions. Good option for the price; pads are never going to last forever.

It’s a basic dip station; just powder coated handles. Takes up a lot of space to store. We used some Rep Wax to help with the grip on the handles. The geometry of the handles favors longer armed people; I have to be pretty close to the front with my T-Rex arms.

Bought in 2020. I think I’ve used the decline option twice. The angles are good enough for any use we have for the bench. The wide seat took a little getting used to but it’s ok. I’m smaller so I can cheat up to the back pad only as needed. Got the wide pad for the bench at my husband’s request, which is an improvement over the original pad. One of the end caps on the leg rollers popped off but that’s the only issue since we got it. No upright storage option and it is kind of awkward to move around in limited space.

I have the original Zwift Hub, recently fitted with a cog hub. Has worked well for years, I mainly use my Garmin to control the resistance since I like to just ride and watch TV rather than use Zwift. I’ve had to make one adjustment to the belt, but no other issues. Very easy to swap my bike on and off as needed.

Really good sled option. Posts are easy to remove and move around. UMHW runners are super nice for use on pavement; quieter than bare metal and they are replaceable. Does not come with strap for pulling.

Technically these started the home gym? My husband bought them before we even met. The mechanism works well enough, but we are careful not to drop them. I f-ing hate the handles; they have pointy fake knurling. The size is awkward as the handles are quite long and the plates change sizes. If you can afford another option for adjustable dumbbells, do that instead.

I have a boneyard version of this bar, with a gray cerakote shaft. There were imperfections in the coating in the center or the bar and it was a non-standard finish. The spin on the sleeves is smooth and no issues from some drops. Knurling is good for an oly bar, not too aggressive. I probably wouldn’t ever spend the money on a new one, but the boneyard option was a good way to pick up a nice oly bar.
