For my money, this is nearly the perfect bar. The stainless steel finish holds up incredibly well and the hard chrome sleeves still look like they came out of the barbell tube. These do have a thin, competition style inner collar. This can be good to get practice with the whip and feel of a competition bar, but it does make the bar harder to rack cleanly especially on wider racks like those from Rogue. I love the Ohio Power Bar knurling. It's grippy without feeling sharp. A great all-around bar. If I could only have one straight bar, this would be it.
