Product Description

Our 45LB Ohio Power Bar is now fully customizable with complete ZEUS customization, giving gym owners and everyday athletes unprecedented control over the look and feel of their barbell. From the color of the shaft and sleeves to the addition of your own custom logos and lettering, each bar can uniquely reflect the style of any team, school, business, or your own personality.

It’s all part of Rogue’s groundbreaking ZEUS project; using today’s advanced technology to create a simple, truly individualized gym outfitting experience.

The core functional features of this custom bar will remain the same as our standard Ohio Power Bar, including a zero-flex 205,000 PSI steel shaft, quality bushings, aggressive knurling, and our Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) treatment—which combines with a special Cerakote shaft finish to give the bar an elite F-Scale durability rating of F8-R. Or, choose our stainless shaft option for a robust 200,000 PSI tensile strength and higher F10-R rating. From there, make it your own by using our drop-down customization menu.


IMPORTANT: All custom sales are final and cannot be returned. In addition to your transit time, please allow 3-5 business days to assemble your Ohio Bar.


PRECISION MEETS POWER

Every Ohio Power Bar is precisely machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that is proven ideal for heavy powerlifting. We combine a 205,000 PSI tensile strength, low flexion shaft, IPF powerlifting knurl marks and our signature Ohio Power Bar knurling. The knurling is machined in a pattern that is deep and coarse, providing an ideal surface for heavy pulls without being sharp or abrasive. Additionally, it features a matching center knurl that adheres to your back when you need it most. 

Available in a Cerakote finish with a range of exclusive colorways to choose from, this unique polymer-ceramic composite coating is most known for its durability in thin applications, offering up to 100X the corrosion resistance of standard black zinc. Combining that with our proprietary matte black sleeves, finished through a process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it– it’s among the most durable power bars to date.


ENHANCED FEATURES

Best In Class Durability: Rogue manufactures the world's most durable barbells, and the Ohio Power Bar is no exception. This bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands required from the home gym to the commercial facility. Read more here.

2X Quieter Performance: Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.

Low Profile Sleeve Design: The sleeves are now machined using a new low-profile sleeve design that allows for easier than ever loading and unloading of plates.


UNMATCHED REPUTATION

The Rogue Ohio Power Bar has set the standard as the premier choice for powerlifting barbells in the industry. With our latest edition, we've taken our flagship power bar to new levels, introducing the most precision machined Ohio Power Bar yet. More than just a barbell, the Rogue Ohio Power Bar represents where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in continuing to make the best weightlifting bars in the market.


Please Note: Cerakote has an excellent resistance to corrosion, but metal-to-metal contact, particular on the sleeves, can still cause wear over time. For the best long term results, some cleaning and maintenance may be required. See our Ohio Bar Care Page for more info.

Best In Class Durability

With F-Scale ratings of F8-R and F10-R, the Ohio Power Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the Ohio Power Bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands that powerlifting places on barbells today, whether it be used daily in the garage or in a high-use commercial gym.

LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN

Our sleeves use a new, low-profile design that makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever. Choose between a durable proprietary matte black finish, or black Cerakote if customized, or a classic chrome finish.

How It's Made
1

FRICTION WELDING

The collars of the sleeves are friction welded, creating the strongest sleeves in the industry. This bond is as strong as if machined from a single piece of steel, while saving on waste and cost. 

Rogue Work Hardening
2

Rogue Work Hardening

Our patented, proprietary process more than doubles the durability and lifespan of the barbell shaft compared to our competitors. 

Cerakote Shaft Finish
3

Cerakote Shaft Finish

Cerakote delivers outstanding corrosion resistance over time—100X that of standard black zinc—while also providing many color options. This polymer-ceramic composite coating was first popularized in the firearm industry for its unique durability in thin applications.

Proprietary Sleeve Finish
4

Proprietary Sleeve Finish

Our matte black sleeve option involves a new process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it. This transformation significantly enhances the sleeves’ corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance. 

State-of-the-art Gauging
5

State-of-the-art Gauging

We use gauging normally employed in the aerospace industry to ensure that every bar that makes it to a customer is exactly as designed.

Barbell Durability

RUST RESISTANCE

The resistance of a barbell to oxidation depends on the type of steel and the coating. Barbells at the lower end of the spectrum will require more care and maintenance to preserve their appearance than barbells at the upper end of the spectrum.

BARBELL DURABILITY

The F Scale™ is a durability scale for barbells based on functional testing at stresses similar to what barbells experience when being dropped from overhead. Bars that have been treated with Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) are designated by having an R in their F Rating™. For more information on F Scale™ click here.

Loading

F SCALE™ APPLICATION

How a barbell is used will affect its durable lifespan and it's a key factor in determining what type of F Rating™ might be suitable for your gym's needs. This graph correlates the F Rating™ of a barbell with different types of usage in order to predict the durable lifespan. Using this data, we are able to make recommendations on what F Rating™ is appropriate for different training situations. With ratings of F8-R and F10-R, the Ohio Power Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime (50+ years) in a powerlifting facility or home gym.
