The Rogue Westside Power Bar 2.0 is a collaboration between Rogue Fitness and Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell. It’s one of the best power bars available and at a price that years ago would be unheard of.

Pros & Cons
Bottom Line
When Louis Simmons puts his stamp of approval on a piece of powerlifting equipment, people tend to take notice.
The Rogue Westside Power Bar 2.0 developed along side Louis Simmons is in my mind, the powerlifting bar to have.
