This barbell from Rogue Fitness is precision-engineered to offer the elite strength athlete everything they need to ensure optimal performance. The Rogue 28.5 mm Boneyard Bar has a Cerakote coating for superior protection and an extra-strong 28.5mm shaft for increased positional stability and durability. The bushings are well-designed for ultra-smooth, maintenance-free rotation and spin. The composite bearings allow for a superior spin and the bar has an IPF and IWF certified knurl for a secure grip. The medium depth knurling ensures a secure and comfortable grip while still allowing sweating to occur.
