Rogue B&R Bar 2.0 Review: The Ultimate Starting Strength Barbell
Author: Cooper Mitchell, GGR FounderProduct Summary
Version 2.0 of the B&R Bar is built to the specifications of the bar’s original designers–strength training coaches Mike Burgener and Mark Rippetoe–with some enhancements from Rogue’s in-house manufacturing team. Along with custom-tailored dual knurl marks for Olympic lifting and powerlifting (including a passive center knurl), the bar now features a stronger 205,000 PSI shaft and an updated snap ring design. Quality bronze bushings produce a smooth, reliable spin, and the natural steel creates a great, old-school look and feel that few chrome/plated finishes can compete with.
The B&R 2.0 is a 20KG barbell with 16.25″ of loadable sleeve length. Because of its versatility, it’s a great addition to a garage gym or a larger training facility or CrossFit box.
