@@GlucksGym I just got a BONEYARD rogue C70s bar for my small bedroom gym. Cerakote for 195. I love that bar and it can hold 500lbs with calibrated plates
Doing rack pulls with this bar is funny. I pulled 575 on it once and it was sagging so much it didn’t flex any more when pulling the slack out. Getting a real Deadlift bar was so nice after using this bar.
I had this bar. It is ok for a beginner. I used it for several years but had to tighten and repair sleeves regularly. Once I deadlifted above 350 lbs it did bend. But for a teenager who may not stick with it, is a decent bar for the low price.
“The Beast” from Cap was my first Barbell and I was actually very impressed with it. I would be deadlifting 400+ and even heavier rack pulls with no issues.
It’s funny how everyone views the products they get. I have a 35 yr old no name bar, it’s been abused but works. We got one of the titan economy bars. I really like it. It is a huge step up from what I was using.
I agree the Titan one is fine. It feels 0 different than any bar I've used in a public gym, I go over 400lbs on it multiple times a week with no issue, and it was like... 100 bucks shipped. I will have to try a more expensive bar eventually though, since everybody seems to swear there is a difference.
I am so addicted to the home gym community. I am watching this video even though I own the rogue Ohio power bar Aggro edition that is in full stainless steel, and not one but two beater bars. Yet, here I am watching a video on a bar I have zero intention of buying and never will.
Loved this review and the timing is perfect. I just talked my friend out of a bar like this yesterday and found out that XMark is running a 20% off sale for the holidays. Their cheapest bar with snap rings (Blacksmith Bar) will run you around $137 after the discount. There’s no shipping and tax so it would only be a little more than the Titan Economy Bar with better specs.
I bought the Yaheetech squat stands during the first lockdown. Three months later they dieded, so I just found some scrap wood and built my own. They're still holding strong.
Inspire fitness actually has a decent budget bar they package in a 300lb bumper plate and bar package. Package is usually $500, though, I bought one on sale for $400 as my first set. By itself, the bar is $125. It's not the strongest as it's rated for 700lbs at 72000psi, but everything fits well and spins smooth and quiet. I see initial very slight bend in the bar when you get above about 185lbs total weight. Still very little bend when you cross 250. They also have a rack that I found to be a hell of a deal when I got it on sale for $650. It's 11gauge 3"x3" uprights with key accessories included (landmine, nice J cups, helper arms, dip attachments, etc).
Just recently subbed this channel. Like it very much, great style of presentation, funny and pleasant watching. Keep it, you will make 100 k subs in a year. The bench carrying videos of your wife are really nice, as you said you can bring it every time 😀
If you have the money for it and plan to keep lifting for many years just buy a good barbell. I have the strength shop bastard power bar in stainless steel. Ohio power bar was sold out all the time around that period, but I'm very happy with this barbell.
I bought a cap on86b Amazon prime for $100 five years ago... But rogue boneyard bars can cost under $200 when they boneyard their economy bar but after tax is just about $200
Reese is still hot. Cap The Rebel bar was right around $200 shipped from Amazon and its a powerlifting style bar with center knurling (no slidey back squats) and 190k tensile strength. The only thing I dont really like about it is the ribbed collars. That "The Beast" bar doesnt have the center knurling and is 110k tensile strength.... I dont think I'd buy it for more than $200... you're getting closer to really nice bars past that.
man it is funny as hell how they present 2 different specs in two different places (several times) and the actual measurement is NEITHER of those numbers
selling an olympic size bar with a 300 pound capacity seems pretty hazardous, and borderline unethical. Only the person who bought the bar would even know its limitations (if they even read the specs) and its being advertised for "light commercial use". And like you said why have that the 15" sleeve with a 300pound capactiy, even 3 bumpers is going to leave way more space, so people will just assume that can load it more.
Pretty good points though we loaded it a bit over spec and it's not bent yet though the one before this we did bend in normal use (same bar) though that was loaded probably around 500lbs for deadlifts and the bend wasn't terrible but still.
Just realized why I recognized this barbell. Because I own one. I checked and sure enough there were lots of free metal shaving in the sleeves. Talk about a great deal...
I really feel like I missed a joke opportunity with the stripper pole and barbell because you're the second person to mention similarities between them
I got a 6 feet bar of that quality. I took the sleeves to a lathe, opened the holes to 28mm and installed a roller bearing (12mm inside, 28mm externally) and it rolls just fine, if i wanted to go stupid i would add conic bearings for the inner part of them but i won't do that. So you can take a 100$ fixed bar and add rollers for like 25 extra bucks. The sleeves will be tight and roll just fine for most purposes. I am thinking about using 400 grit sand paper on it because it's freaking sharp to grab.
While I appreciate reviews on RU-vid, I find myself over analyzing/ overbuying on products. Normally the cheapest products are "good enough" and that I would have never noticed the differences in being significant. My example being that I went from the Titan regular olympic bar to the Stainless Steel Ohio bar with absolutely no good reason.
Bought a Synergee cerakote bar (Canada). I’m sure it’s not manufactured here but it is assembled in Canada. Price and quality are good but it has to much spin. Think it’s intended for crossfit.
Do you have any reviews about which tv, computer, or monitor is good for a garage gym??? I’m wanting it for live web fitness with my trainer, on demand fitness classes, music, etc.
@@dkmchui Some people like nice things to stay nice. But I think most people that have a beater bar already had it, and didn't just buy it to avoid scratches on their nice one.
Why don't you do some reviews on Giant Lifting stuff? They're local to me and it seems like their gear is indistinguishable from the big dogs but way cheaper.
LOl I have that barbell but i bought it back 3 years ago. The first one the coat was chipping off and they sent me a new one. I didntt have any issues with the new one but I could imagine people having various issues due to the poor quality control
So you're telling me this bar far exceeds my fringe lone star bar?! That I should throw it in the trash and buy this!!!!? Fuck already done. . Thanks boss
@@GlucksGym sweet. I try not to sound like a shill but I love their customer service and products. Plus they are funny as hell in their reviews and questions.
I got a Rogue Euro Oly competition bar that was in their Bone Yard for $138 shipped.... I'm thinking it was used in competition or in the training/warmup rooms...
I’m a reasonably sure my local YMCA bars are worse than this but not by much. Anything over 315 and it just bows and wobbles. Lucky for me they let me put my OPB in storage for when I go. They probably don’t want me destroying bars as if I could LOL.
Hey Gluck, I’m searching for dumbbells that are shaped like a triangle, a specific make. Maybe invented by the guy who invented the open kettlebells. Any idea?
@@GlucksGym dude u r awesome. That’s exactly what I was thinking of. And I almost ordered them. Last year 299, this year 359. To use your innuendo and double entendre, I could swallow that increase. But for ONE? Over $800 with shipping for a pair? Nope.
@@GlucksGym kk, no problem, My hobby is criticizing others military press because that is my number one press 🤣 whereas I suck in bench pressing. Strict Overhead press is 90 kg 1RM and bench is only 110 kg
It's after working a full day, filming well into the night, and having already done shoulders then realizing I need one more clip. I need more time in the day lol
I legit own three of these. Bought two of them for $20 each. Couldn’t pass a “good” deal. Should have sold one of them during COVID price gouging would have paid for my whole gym and half my mortgage.
Bare steel / naked barbell, I can't understand why anyone would buy bare steel. If getting a BOS bar I'd get the multi purpose olympic barbell, it's black zinc and still $200.
Bare steel has the best feeling to it as there's no coating on the knurling so with powerlifting, especially deadlifting that grip would be the appeal. Some people also like how they patina and look with age. The multi purpose bar is the same price but not made with the same intended purpose. They can do the same things but that doesn't mean they both do them equally well.
Fitness gear bars are trash... They are probably nearly the same. I had a older chrome cap bar I used for awhile it was ok. I've also used the titan cheap bar. Thats not great either.
Probably comparable but I'd give the advantage to Titan on this one. I'm not sure you could do less unless you just strapped a packaging label on the bare bar 😭🤣
No, get the Titan bar I talk about towards the end. It's 10x the bar and goes on sale all the time for around $100. It's in my Cheapest Home Gym Build video I just did as well. Great value for the price.
@@GlucksGym The already non existent knurling became pretty much slick within a month and the collars don't like to spin at all. Also I'm pretty sure I bent it pulling 500lbs because it felt different after that
It might just be a fun video that hopefully helps some people avoid this thing. I do recommend a better bar for the same price as it's on sale every month and a few others that are much better for a little more. It's not about price, it's not a good product and I think that's clear from the points made in the video.
I like your channel and content, but leave the gutter talk like lubing shaft and condoms for the immature and unsophisticated Basement Brandon. Look up to Coop to see how to promote your brand to professional companies like Sorinex and Rogue. This kind of talk may get few chuckles from infantile viewers, but really everyone grows one day (hopefully) and find these talks somewhat putting off. Another Channel which is very decent (but has nothing to do with review) is Alan Thrall's. Good luck and Happy New Year!
@@frostedbutts4340 Username checks out. Also, when you talk decent in front of your family and kids - are you an actual human or a shill? But then, you probably are 14 years old and which makes you a target viewer and subscriber of Basement Brandon.
I think you lose some of persuasiveness of your argument by insulting those you talk to and mention. I think what Frosted means is that some reviewers are more interested selling you things rather creating actual reviews. I appreciate the feedback, we're always trying to improve.
@@GlucksGym Agreed. And I also know that most are here to sell on youtube, and will not deny receiving free products in order to review as "unbiased". Some youtubers have gone to the extend of paying from their pocket, only to receive monetary compensation later from the manufacturer. So when they say, I bought this from my own money, they are not technically lying.
