Best Olympic Bar – Rogue Pyrros Bar

The absolute best Olympic bar Rogue Fitness produces is the Rogue Pyrros bar. 

This bar was developed with the help of three-time gold medalist Pyrros Dimas. 

The main features he laid out for a better barbell include the following:

• A more aggressive knurling
• A more controlled spin

This allows for a better grip on the bar while also making the lifter feel more connected to the weight. 

Rogue Fitness provided Pyrros with bars made from different materials, including; various types of steel, different knurl textures, and different sleeve lubricants. 

Rogue finally got it perfect, and Pyrros told them they should name it the “Pyrros Bar.” Which is exactly what they did. 

Considering this bar was approved by a legendary Olympic gold medalist, you know it has to be an incredible Olympic bar. 

If you want the absolute best Olympic Bar Rogue Fitness sells, this is the one. 

Best Power Bar – Rogue Ohio Power Bar

The best powerlifting barbell from Rogue Fitness is their stainless steel Ohio power bar. You’re going to see many Ohio bars in this next section so get used to it!

This version of the Ohio power bar is more expensive for a few reasons.

• Because this bar is finished in stainless steel, it provides a much better oxidation resistance. This makes it lower maintenance to keep them in great shape, which is nice. This aluminum finish also helps prevent chipping and wearing down the finish on the bar.
• 200,000 PSI Tensile Strength with a snap-ring design featuring bronze bushings for a smooth feel.
• Aggressive knurling gives you a superior grip without being sharp and destroying your hands.

Basically, suppose you want the best power bar that Rogue Fitness offers while also maintaining its beautiful finish from use. In that case, this is the bar for you.

Best Multi-Purpose Bar – The Rogue Ohio Bar

This is very similar to the Stainless Steel Rogue Ohio Power Bar. However, it’s built for both Olympic lifting and powerlifting since it’s a hybrid bar.

This gives it a solid grip, a nice blend of whip and stiffness, and the sleeves spin consistently.

If you want the best multipurpose bar that Rogue Fitness has, this is the one that you want to get.

Safety Squat Bar – SB-1 Safety Squat Bar

First up is the Rogue Fitness Safety Squat Bar. As explained in my Titan Fitness buying guide, Safety Squats are an awesome variation of the Barbell Squat.

They work your mid-back and core a lot harder than a straight bar as the camber on the bar is basically trying to crush you into the ground.

It’s also a lot easier on your shoulders and back as the foam pads and handles allow you to keep your arms in a neutral position in front of your body.

For people that have jacked up shoulders, this is a great thing and something that the Rogue Fitness Safety Squat Bar allows you to work around.

This bar is rated for 1,000 lbs and makes it easy to set up, unrack the bar, and just get stronger at the squat.

Trap Bar – TB-2 Trap Bar

Here is the full review of the Rogue Fitness TB-2 Trap Bar if you’re interested in learning more!

The Trap Bar Deadlift is my favorite version of the Deadlift you can do, right along with the Romanian Deadlift, of course.

It’s definitely superior for beginners and taller lifters as it allows you to set up quickly and get stronger pulling from the floor without over-correcting your positioning every rep.

The TB-2 Trap Bar is fantastic with its high and low handles, which allow taller lifters to Deadlift from a more comfortable position.

This bar also has really solid knurling that won’t destroy your hands as crappier Amazon Trap Bars have.

I’ve used a crappy Trap Bar for some time, so I know what I’m talking about.

This thing feels great and is an absolute tank.

Multi-Grip Bars – Rogue MG-3 Multi-Grip Bar

Rogue Fitness has a couple of different Multi-Grip Bars, but I like this one the best by far.

The great thing about Multi-Grip, or Football bars as they’re sometimes called, is that they allow people with banged up shoulders to press pain-free.

By pressing with a neutral grip, you can press without externally rotating your shoulders.

This is great for overhead press and bench press variations that really hammer the triceps a lot more than a straight bar.

Also, unlike many other Swiss, football, and multi-grip barbells out there, all of Rogue’s are rackable on Power Racks.

There’s a lot out there that you can’t actually rack, which doesn’t make much sense.

This bar is also finished with Rogues black powder coat, so it looks beautiful and performs great as well.

Best Flat – Monster Utility Bench 2.0

Many benches out there aren’t made with 3×3″ 11-gauge steel; the Monster Utility Bench 2.0 isn’t one of them.

This is the most stable bench you’re going to get at one of the best prices possibles.

It also has an extra-wide rear base for much greater stability with a single front foot. This allows you to set up your feet better for bench press variations.

This bench also has a set of wheels with a built-in handle to quickly move the bench wherever you need it to go.

This bench even has a couple of variations to it that you can choose from while ordering.

You can pick different bench heights, pad widths, and even select a stainless steel handle if you’re super basic.

If you want the best possible stability and durability, this is the best bench you’re going to get for the price.

Best Adjustable – Adjustable Bench 3.0

Rogues’ newer bench, the Adjustable Bench 3.0, is a solid upgrade and one that I highly recommend!

It has an upgraded 11-gauge steel 3×3″ frame, 10 back and 3 seat positions, and a small 1″ gap between the pads.

There are two different versions you can pick from as well.

• Standard
  • Black Powder Coat Adjustment Rails
  • Three Gloss Frame Finishes – MG Black, MG Rogue Red, or MG Bright Blue
  • Standard Bench wheels
• Stainless
  • Upgraded stainless steel rails
  • Same gloss frame finishes as the standard option
  • Premium Rubber wheels for easier portability and better durability

You can also upgrade to a premium textured foam pad that allows for even better grip than their standard vinyl.

The Adjustable Bench 3.0 is definitely an awesome upgrade over the second version and I highly recommend it!

Best – Rogue Dumbbell Sets

Between the Hex and Urethane dumbbells, the Hex dumbbells are definitely a better buy considering all the money you’ll save.

I just don’t think it’s worth the investment between the two. After all, the Hex dumbbells are almost $1,000 less for the 5-50 lb set.

That’s a huge saving and doesn’t make much sense considering they’re basically the exact same thing.

Nothing is worth that $1,000 extra, so I would definitely go with the Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set.

Best – Rogue Competition Kettlebells

The Rogue Fitness Competition Kettlebells are incredible when it comes to their performance and feel.

These range from 8KG-48KG, or 18-105 lbs.

Regardless of the size, they have the same diameter base, height, and handle width which is nice!

They also feature a smooth powder coat with special contours cut out of them near the top of the bell.

This helps with discomfort when doing cleans, presses, and snatches, which is an awesome benefit.

These are priced at a little less than $3 per lb, which is pretty great considering the Rogue Fitness quality you get with these.

Best – RM-6 Monster Rack 2.0

The RM-6 Monster Rack 2.0 is an absolute monster, as the name suggests.

It also has a ton of different customizations depending on what you need.

You can pick different colors, hardware finishes, pull-up bars, styles of J-cups, safeties, and more!

It’s made from 3×3″ 11-gauge steel like a lot of Rogues racks but it also has oversized 1″ hardware to bolt everything together.

If you want the absolute best-valued rack that Rogue Fitness has to offer with the best customization options, the RM-6 Monster Rack is what you want to get.

Best Bumper – Rogue Training 2.0 Plates

The best bumper plates that Rogue Fitness makes are the Training 2.0 Plates.

These plates are color-coded and used in Reebok’s CrossFit Games.

They have a minimal bounce while dropping them, and unlike crappier plates out there, they aren’t going to break down from frequent use.

These are a little more expensive than other plates out there. However, they’re still pretty affordable if you just want a basic set that will literally last you ten lifetimes.

You can get these plates individually or in sets, and Rogue Fitness even offers free shipping on them, which is a huge saving without a doubt.

Best Iron – Rogue Olympic Plates

Last up, we have Rogue’s best iron plate option, their Olympic Plates.

These are sold in pairs ranging from 1.25 to 100 lbs and are priced really well!

These plates are under $2 per lb, which is an incredible deal considering just how much they’ve been inflated this year.
