Rogue Rackable Curl Bar

Pros & Cons

What we like …

• Rogue Fitness has taken their crowd favorite Curl Bar, extended the shaft and made it compatible with squat racks and aptly calling it the Rogue Rackable Curl Bar.
• At 110,000 PSI Tensile Strength, although the Rackable Curl Bar seems weak compared to something like the 200,000 PSI Tensile Strength Rogue Ohio Power Bar, it’s actually one of the strongest curl bars on the market.
• Rogue’s decided to use their medium-fine knurl that is the same that’s used on the multipurpose flagship Rogue Ohio Bar. It’s fine enough to prevent ripped callouses, but provides enough grip for any movement from curls to rows.
• The sleeves are coated in bright zinc and the shaft has an e-coat that will prevent rust from forming on its surface over time. It’s not as good as stainless steel in this regard, but it is superior to the black oxide and zinc that’s often used on curl bars.
• With over 51″ shaft length between the sleeve collars it will fit on pretty much every rack including Rogue Racks that have a 49″ outside width.
• Bronze bushings are used as the rotation system which have proven to be very reliable and long-lasting.
• The bends on this curl bar are similar to just about every other EZ Curl bar making it comfortable on the wrists during curls and tricep work.
• Made in the USA of US-Sourced Steel.
• Knurling is featured throughout the sections where the hands grip the bar which isn’t always typical.

What needs improvement …

• At $250, it’s nearly $100 more than the REP Fitness Chrome Rackable Curl Bar. REP’s bar is imported and chrome plated, but it does have a good knurl pattern. The Stainless Steel version of REP’s is also available for a similar price point as Rogues.
• Many people hate the idea of curing in a squat rack. I am not one of them. – Coop
