The Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar (bare steel edition) offers weightlifters a powerful tool for hone their strength and power. This Ohio-made, 20kg, 1085 carbon steel bar is a workhorse of powerlifting with dual powerlifting markings and static-dissipating surface. All Rogue Ohio Bars, including the Bare Steel edition, feature knurling that’s aggressive enough to get a secure grip when lifting, but not so aggressive that it tears up hands. The dual knurl marks are optimal for powerlifting exercises like deadlifts, while the bushings and smooth-turning axles allow for positive spin in high-load reps. The Bare Steel edition of the Ohio Deadlift Bar also boasts a bright-zinc finish, and features a 36.75 mm aggressive knurling, fine groove knurl markings, and a lifetime warranty. The Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar Bare Steel edition is designed for serious weightlifters, powerlifters and athletes looking to build strength and power. With its strength- and power-focused design, durable machining, and lifetime warranty, the Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar (bare steel edition) will last through your toughest exercise and weightlifting routines.
