I have indy squat stands so racking is not a problem. I have a small space so the size is perfect for my shop/gym. The knurling is great not to aggressive. If I were to buy any other bar it would be the C-70S.

I love this bar. I have already used it about 6 times and am very impressed. Since I used Indy Squat Stands racking is not a problem. The knurling is just right for me.

Save yourself space. Save yourself time loading the bar. Favorite for cleans, thrusters, snatches, rows, etc. love this bar for my home gym setup. I was worried it might be too narrow for snatching, but that wasn’t the case at all. I have limited space so I didn’t want a full size bar, this was ideal for me. I also load it in my truck and take it various places with me so the smaller size and 35lb weight is just easier to transport. This bar can load up a pretty significant amount. It may not be someone’s ideal for maxing, as you cap out more quickly than the standard bars, however it can hold 300+ which for me makes it perfect for daily use as I am not going that high regularly. In the picture it’s 305lbs with a collar, although with 45lbs I am sure you could load it more efficiently for maximum weight. I don’t need another one right now, but I want one :) thank you Rogue! It’s too narrow to fit on a standard width rack, but that’s not why you need this one, so that’s irrelevant in my opinion.

I use the s-4 infinity series squat stands that are separated so I’m able to rack this bar since they can be moved close together and overall makes a great smaller area for the home gym. Great quality bar.

Makes working out way harder, after 3 months using it I got way fitter way more stable. Every workout hurt just a bit more, and the results I got were that my strength increased. If you don’t want to hurt that bad when training and get way fitter, then don’t get this bar. If you don’t like working for your results then don’t get this bar. It works way to well. ;)

Got it for Christmas and couldn’t be happier! Such a great space saver.

They have a couple of these at the gym, and I like them. The good: Even in a big box type gym, I still like the compactness. I try to use them for what I consider floor lifts (cleans, rows, presses, curls). Great for accessories where you want to stay lighter. The Meh: I do wish the sleeves started slightly wider or narrower, as you can not rest this bar on j-cups, spotter arms, or even a gun rack. Yeah, it's not intended to be "rackable" but if it was slightly narrower, you could at least rack the sleeves onto spotter arms between sets of curls or whatever. Even for storage, the collars are at the exact width of what most gun racks are set at, so you have to store this bar with one side resting on the shaft, the other side resting on the sleeve. I mean if you're making a shorter bar anyway, might as well take off another 2 inches to give this thing more function. FINISH: No surprise, black zinc doesn't last as long as chrome, stainless, or cerakote. You can see the ones at the gym are pretty rusty. The Bad: THE WHIP. As you can imagine, a narrower bar with the weights more centered is not going to bend as much as a bar with weights further out. I did not realize how much of a difference this would make until I caught my first heavy clean, and it nearly crushed me. It felt like I just caught a 2" axle bar on my clavicles. Despite being a 28.5 mm bar like the Ohio, the C70 is noticeably stiffer. The product page advertises the same "good whip" as they do on their other 28.5 bars, but this is certainly not the case. Not a deal breaker, but definitely inaccurate marketing.

I’ve simply never been disappointed with anything from Rogue.
