Rogue Fitness 28MM Rogue Training Bar (Stainless Shaft / Black Sleeve)

Rogue 28MM Training Bar – Stainless / Proprietary matte Black

This version of Rogue’s 28MM Training Bar features a stainless steel shaft and our new Proprietary Matte Black sleeve finish.  Many athletes favor stainless steel as a way to get the “natural” feel of the knurl–similar to a bare steel bar but with better corrosion resistance. The PM Black finish also greatly improves the long-term corrosion resistance and color endurance of the Training Bar’s sleeves, as it effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it.

Each of these 20KG barbells is fully machined and assembled at the Rogue factory in Columbus, Ohio, utilizing the uniform knurl pattern of our Olympic WL Bar and the bronze bushings of the Rogue Ohio Bar. The result is a more cost-efficient, intermediate bar for athletes who still want the look and feel of a competition-ready Olympic barbell.

The quality U.S. steel used in the Stainless 28MM Training Bar meets a minimum tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, and each shaft is individually tested for straightness to within 0.015” (0.38MM). Single Olympic knurl marks are included (no center knurl).

Note on Stainless Steel: Barbells made from raw steel are not plated and therefore marks from the machining process may be visible. Stainless steel shafts will show CNC processing marks. These are cosmetic and will not impact the barbell’s performance.
