Great review vid as always. I greatly enjoy your humor and absolutely love the intros. My favorite though is the "above and beyond" factor. Love the detailed constitutions and disassembled equipment porn. Thanks for another excellent one Gluck and Winnie! Y'all always brighten the week. 👍
All in, delivered to my location in Canada, the BoS BNPB is 425 MooseAntlerShavings, while the Rogue OPB Bare Steel 45 lb is 539 MooseAntlerShavings. For something you are going to use for a decade or five... However, I think what's missing in this comparison is that the bar actually was intended to provide, I believe, a more affordable competition style powerbar (narrow collars, 20 kg), vs competing with a 45 lb OPB. This is to give powerlifting focused IPF competitors something closer to what they would have to use in competition. In that case, comparing it to the 20 kG OPB (competition width collars), it's 209 MooseAntlerShavings cheaper delivered than the zinc OPB 20kg bar, and 350 MooseAntlerShavings cheaper than the SS OPB 20kg. So in that case, the BoS BNPB is more compelling choice for that athlete looking to get into IPF competition who can't afford the extra 209-350 MAS for a Rogue OPB 20kg, or even more compelling, the extra 1000+ MAS for an Eleiko IPF bar! A good solution for a cheaper 20kg training bar, for high school weight rooms, etc. If they could just solve the knurl issue that you, Brandon and Coop have pointed out, it would be compelling. Would like to know the true real world longevity of brass vs bronze. Anyone out there wear out brass bushings on a bar ?
They told me they're working on the knurling issue so we'll see what comes of that. You're right, it's intended to be a cheaper entry to a competition style bar. Thanks for the Moose Anter Shavings breakdown, being from down south we don't truly understand your ways.
Love this review. I have this bar branded as StrongArm as well as the Sumo Deadlift Bar. I'm in Canada and I don't think you can beat either of them for the price. They both prepared me extremely well for my first competition.
Great bar! Love that I don't have to chalk up like crazy for deadlifts. Its simple and gets the job done and i kinda like that feeling of not having to baby a piece of equipment im throwing around at that price point.
Should clean up well with some 3 on 1 and a brush. Makes me think I should've done the giveaway earlier because I left that poor bar in my gym in a tube for a month.
You two are having too much fun... and I love it! Really enjoy how thorough your equipment reviews are. I even rewatch them several times in case I missed anything. 💯💯💯
I’ll vouch for the Boneyard bars. I’ve bought 3. My SS OPB arrived flawless. My black zinc OPB had a little oxidation on the collars. My Rogue junior bar had a couple of tiny scratches on the shaft.
Could you do a review on the several short rack-able barbells that are out now. Rogue, Fringe and GetRxd all make one. Home gyms are usually limited in space and these are great solutions.
@@GlucksGym Would it be possible to do short power racks in the small gym video as well? I went with the Bells of Steel light commercial power rack since I have low Seelings and exposed air ducts. It was the only rack under 80 inches I could find that didn't need to be bolted down. I'm happy so far after a couple months. Between children and Covid I stopped lifting for four years so I'm not moving enough weight to have any stability issues.
I got my Bells of Steel Bare Naked Power Bar 8 months ago. My gym is in my garage. I live in British Columbia Canada (arguably a humid place). I was worried about having to deal with rust. But - so far - zero rust.
I'd say when you can't comfortably hold it. On deadlift for example more aggressive knurling can hero though chalk or improving grip strength might help, or even on squat I prefer a center knurl. Some of it is lifting style and preference
I have been training on my friend's Ohio bar for a year and have my own gym now after moving. To start I got the titan standard bar on sale for 100 shipped. It is perfectly functional for continuing my training. The knurling is very passive but it gets the job done before I can afford more plates.
Those are Plate Snacks decals. There's a link and discount code on my affiliate page. But they're just cool durable stickers to cover up those garbage plates
I work like 10mins away from Bells of Steels Toronto warehouse where I was able to stop by and grab my Arch Nemesis bar, so no shipping fees, but up here the price is 299 for the Bare Naked bar, (plus Trudeaus taxes) but still an ok price for a really solid bar compared to Rogue prices here...Its my next purchase, cuz, thanks to you and Brandon, my bar collection continues to grow :/ Another great review my friend, and as always very entertaining, innuendos and all, by you and Wynnie!!!
If you are going to review a Canadian fitness equipment company, can you pls review some equipment from Gorila Fitness? I only buy Rogue stuff but it is expensive to ship to Canada. Also, a good "dip belt" review would be nice. Also, I think the red dress was a better choice. Great review.
I just recently got one and love it so far. I also went to my basement just now to check the knurling with my phone light - I don't see inconsistencies in the knurling on mine. I also live close enough to Indianapolis that I was able to get the showroom price and save a little $ on an already incredible value. My main objective with this bar is for deadlifting, but it feels great for squatting and I'll eventually use for pressing also. I haven't felt an OH bar before, but I think this is a great bar, regardless of the price point. Sure, most of the time we get what we pay for, but sometimes on similar products it may just come down to preference. I would say to anyone looking for a power bar that this one is a very solid choice, the knurling & 29 mm diameter feels awesome, and I doubt you will regret this over another option. I have been very impressed with my experience with all things BOS thus far.
Hey,I have a few questions. First,what is the best cable tower? I want to implement cables into my workout. Also is Montreal weights a good company? Can you possibly test there Dumbells? Much thanks, your videos helped me quite a lot.
I got a raw Ohio power bar off the boneyard. It is great. Very minor cosmetic blemish on one of the collars, but other then that nothing. I purchased it 2 years ago for $195 plus $40 shipping. I would buy it again without hesitation.
My home gym is indoors so rust isn't a factor with my Barenaked Power Bar. I've used it exclusively since July 1 for SBD and have no complaints. I've found the knurling more aggressive than the Ohio Power Bar, so maybe I just lucked out on that. Thanks for reviewing it!
@@GlucksGym I'm in Texas so I never open windows, lol. I cleaned it once with a brass bristled brush (say that 3 times, ha!) and some 3-in-1 oil, but I didn't notice any visual difference afterwards. The knurling stays dark but there's no visual sign of rust.
Love this bar did a review on my channel. I did have to clean it off for oil but the way it was shipped was perfect and knurling was aggressive. My rack is a little wide but I can use for deads and rows. I have another bar for bench suited to my rack.
@@GlucksGym I like your video reviews of equipment I just looked at your video review of the cheapest bar bought on Amazon that cost $100 you are too funny. But I like how you do the pros and cons when you do reviews of products. And you show the viewer okay you can get a more expensive one or better quality one from this particular company allowing them to make a purchase decision based upon what they can afford
My gym has the BOS bars and I like them. Price has gone up since I got mine, but the I Sell Fitness powerbar is similar. 29mm, bare steel, decent knurl, and wider collars which I like, but narrower center knurl that I don't. It seems consistent knurl is hard to achieve at this price point.
Would love to hear your thoughts or reviews on Hoist as a company and others in this category of fitness equipment. I’m thinking Life fitness, Nautilus, Technogym, etc. I’m specifically interested in commercial style 45 degree Leg Press, Functional Trainer, and bench alternatives to rep or rogue.
Idk what it is, and I might be wrong about it, but I feel like once you make the jump from bargain basement to $200 you might as well go all the way to $300 instead for the extra quality that it gives you. I would just feel bad paying $200 when I could have an Ohio Bar for $300 (pre-tax and shipping).
Well you hit it a little but there. Pre tax and shipping it's over 300 and if you think about it as a percentage you're talking 50% more before all that. I know it's an extreme example but think about 50% for a car, groceries, various other gym purchases. It all adds up and can really make a significant difference so I think that's where I lot of people make there's choices
@@GlucksGym Yeah, I get that point. My mindset is that it is a special, one time purchase so I should get the best (within reason). I guess the real thing is that I am lucky enough that I can afford to wait and save the money to get the more expensive bar. In the long run it's not going to hurt me to not have my bar a paycheck earlier.
I've always been the save and get the best you can kinda person but I realize that's not how everyone works or what everyone needs depending on their training.
@@GlucksGym Again Faster has a very similar (probably the same bar) for $189 right now (free shipping & no tax). Also with military/first responder discount (7%). Came out to $175!
@@GlucksGym on a serious note what do you think of thick bars for presses. Like thicc thicc 30mm+ like the old rogue beater bar. I love presses with very thick dumbbells so I imagine it would be similar?
It’s a great entry level bar if you are just getting into the hobby, and it can become your beater bar once you save up for that stainless steel Ohio Power Bar.
I bought this and returned it immediately because it was rusty despite being drenched in oil, and had a cracked/incomplete weld where the collar meets the sleeve.
We actually just met with the owner and asked him about some QC stuff they had. I guess there was a bad batch and they've done a lot since then to address it. I wonder if you got it then...?
Love the reviews! Just started following you and watching a lot as I am in the market for equipment and have been researching items. Do you have any thoughts on the multi purpose bar from bells of steel? Pros / cons vs power lifting bar?
@GlucksGym I guess both. :) Would you recommend the bells power lifting bar or multi purpose bar if it's my only bar. And also, in general, would you recommend a power lifting bar or a "multi purpose" bar if I only have one bar? If that makes sense. I'll use it mainly for bench, squats and DL, but may do some cleans ect. I've only ever used whatever the gym has and haven't really paid attention. Now that I'm building my home gym, I can't decide with so many options. I also considering getting the Ohio power bar instead. 🤷♂️ Thanks
Oh man you're in for a treat and some trouble 😂 it's an addicting hobby. If you're primarily going to squat bench and deadlift I'd go with a power bar but the cleans might beat up your chest. A multi purpose bar can become difficult to grip as your deadlifts get higher in weight. If you can afford an Ohio power bar it's a better bar than the barenaked and still a great value. It really comes down to price. There's a lot of great bars out there now and more coming all the time
I've had two of these in my home gym for 2 years, i have 4 Eleikos and 3 Rogue as well. This is by far the prefered for squats and heavy work for low reps due to the more grip than a Ohio Power bar. Yes you might bang the uprights the first many times, but hey fix your walkout and no problem... which you should do anyway. 😊
Almost bought this bar last week, but I just couldn't imagine how fast it would rust in my Garage in south Georgia. Our average humidity is ridiculously high. I looked into a boneyard bar, but Rogue's shipping rates are ridiculous.
@@vicenteochoa6498 shipping was $50. I'm not paying that much for shipping when it's almost 1/3 the price of the product when that product is under the weight limit for standard courier/delivery service providers. I live in Georgia, obviously, much closer to Ohio than California.
Awesome review! Not quite for me as I’m still working on my sloppy walk out. I can already see my deep dish plates scratching my white monster uprights, and that’s a no-no. 🤦🏽♂️🙃
came for the intro, stayed for the review and thicc innuendo, lots of it in this one
Yessss! Yeah sorry lol what can you really say about bars?!
Agreed really good bar for the money, just seems they still haven't gotten the knurl consistency right.
Yeah apparently not. I should've checked the giveaway bar too.
But the most important thing is, after a deadlift workout, I don't have any dead skin left on my hands. Not ANY skin left for that matter.
I'm really with Barbell Sayain here

If you're worried about the aesthetics of your discounted barbell you should probably evaluate what you care about in life. 🤷♀️

I can't believe someone would buy a boneyard bar when they will ship you ones with damaged knurling... And it's final sale, as is.

We actually just met with the owner and asked him about some QC stuff they had. I guess there was a bad batch and they've done a lot since then to address it. I wonder if you got it then...?
@@GlucksGym I got it two days ago
Awe yeah! Puts Amazon hex bolts bars to Shane
Idk the hex bar made another showing 😂
Well done as always
😊😍 Thank you
Love the reviews! Just started following you and watching a lot as I am in the market for equipment and have been researching items. Do you have any thoughts on the multi purpose bar from bells of steel? Pros / cons vs power lifting bar?
We own that bar too. Do you mean vs power bars in general or the barenaked powerlifting bar?
@GlucksGym I guess both. :) Would you recommend the bells power lifting bar or multi purpose bar if it's my only bar. And also, in general, would you recommend a power lifting bar or a "multi purpose" bar if I only have one bar? If that makes sense. I'll use it mainly for bench, squats and DL, but may do some cleans ect. I've only ever used whatever the gym has and haven't really paid attention. Now that I'm building my home gym, I can't decide with so many options. I also considering getting the Ohio power bar instead. 🤷♂️ Thanks
Oh man you're in for a treat and some trouble 😂 it's an addicting hobby. If you're primarily going to squat bench and deadlift I'd go with a power bar but the cleans might beat up your chest.
A multi purpose bar can become difficult to grip as your deadlifts get higher in weight.
If you can afford an Ohio power bar it's a better bar than the barenaked and still a great value. It really comes down to price. There's a lot of great bars out there now and more coming all the time
Haha! I appreciate the insight!
I've had two of these in my home gym for 2 years, i have 4 Eleikos and 3 Rogue as well.
This is by far the prefered for squats and heavy work for low reps due to the more grip than a Ohio Power bar.
Yes you might bang the uprights the first many times, but hey fix your walkout and no problem... which you should do anyway. 😊
Can a rogue bar(Ohio bar) fit well with REP metal plates?
Yes, no issues there
@@GlucksGym thank you!
great vid, ty
Thank you!
Almost bought this bar last week, but I just couldn't imagine how fast it would rust in my Garage in south Georgia. Our average humidity is ridiculously high. I looked into a boneyard bar, but Rogue's shipping rates are ridiculous.
Isnt shipping for the barbells $25?
@@vicenteochoa6498 it is for non boneyard bars. Boneyard bars are not subsidized
@@Timm129 maybe it’s due to your state? But idk I’m farther away in California I see 25 for shipping. $238 total for a boneyard raw steel bar.
@@vicenteochoa6498 shipping was $50. I'm not paying that much for shipping when it's almost 1/3 the price of the product when that product is under the weight limit for standard courier/delivery service providers. I live in Georgia, obviously, much closer to Ohio than California.
@@awmlawoffice damn. I agree 50 is a bit much.
I love this bar
😁 Glad to hear it!
I'm just here for the bad acting
You'll love it here
Ah... shaft jokes.
FIRST
Oh shiii is that two weeks in a row?!
Awesome review! Not quite for me as I’m still working on my sloppy walk out. I can already see my deep dish plates scratching my white monster uprights, and that’s a no-no. 🤦🏽♂️🙃
Haha it's ok we all have areas to improve right? But not on that beauty of a rack you've got!
