ROGUE OHIO POWER BAR - AGGRO
MEN'S 45LB POWERLIFTING BARBELL
The AGGRO™ variations of our 45LB Ohio Power Bar are designed for lifters who want an even more aggressive knurl than the standard model. These AGGRO variations were crafted for the lifter who wants the absolute maximum grip for heavy deadlifts and pulls. There are two options to choose from (2X AGGRO and 3X AGGRO), each utilizing advanced precision tooling to re-create the geometry of the original knurl pattern with added depth and more prominent peaks:
PRECISION MEETS POWER
Every AGGRO Power Bar is precisely machined and assembled in Columbus, OH utilizing the same steel we developed for the world famous Elephant Bar, and featuring the same 200,000 PSI tensile strength shaft as the standard Ohio Power Bar. This is combined with a low flexion shaft, IPF powerlifting knurl marks and our most aggressive knurling. Available in two options, the knurling is machined in a pattern that is progressively deeper and more coarse, going from the 2X AGGRO to 3X AGGRO, than our flagship Ohio Power Bar, providing a sharper knurl pattern for the most grip on heavy pulls. Additionally, it features a matching center knurl that adheres to your back when you need it most.
*WARNING: The 3X AGGRO is our most aggressive knurl to date, and one of the sharpest and least forgiving on the market. Anyone unsure of their tolerance level should avoid this option. Returns will NOT be accepted on the basis of any pain or discomfort caused by the knurling itself.
A Note on Bar Cleaning: Rogue recommends using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft. Using steel on stainless steel can contaminate the stainless steel and cause rusting. See more tips here: Bar Care & Maintenance.
ENHANCED FEATURES
Best In Class Durability: Engineered to withstand the heavy demands required from the home gym to the commercial facility. Read more here.
2X Quieter Performance: Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.
Low Profile Sleeve Design: The sleeves are now machined using a new low-profile sleeve design that allows for easier than ever loading and unloading of plates.
UNMATCHED REPUTATION
The Rogue Ohio Power Bar has set the standard as the premier choice for powerlifting barbells in the industry. With our latest edition, we've taken our flagship power bar to new levels, introducing the most precision machined Ohio Power Bar yet. More than just a barbell, the Rogue Ohio Power Bar represents where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in continuing to make the best weightlifting bars in the market.
Best In Class Durability
With a F-Scale rating of F10-R, the Ohio Power Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the Ohio Power Bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands that powerlifting places on barbells today, whether it be used daily in the garage or in a high-use commercial gym. Read more here.
LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN
Our new low-profile sleeve design makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever. Stainless steel sleeves are paired with the stainless shaft creating the most fully corrosion resistant barbell.
2X QUIETER PERFORMANCE
Using precision machining, we are able to tighten the fit of the sleeve on the shaft which means a smoother spin, a more connected feeling while lifting and significant noise reduction.
How It's Made
FRICTION WELDING
The collars of the sleeves are friction welded, creating the strongest sleeves in the industry. This bond is as strong as if machined from a single piece of steel, while saving on waste and cost.
Rogue Work Hardening
Our patented, proprietary process more than doubles the durability and lifespan of the barbell shaft compared to our competitors.
State-of-the-art Gauging
We use gauging normally employed in the aerospace industry to ensure that every bar that makes it to a customer is exactly as designed.
Barbell Durability
RUST RESISTANCE
The resistance of a barbell to oxidation depends on the type of steel and the coating. Barbells at the lower end of the spectrum will require more care and maintenance to preserve their appearance than barbells at the upper end of the spectrum.
BARBELL DURABILITY
The F Scale™ is a durability scale for barbells based on functional testing at stresses similar to what barbells experience when being dropped from overhead. Bars that have been treated with Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) are designated by having an R in their F Rating™. For more information on F Scale™ click here.
F SCALE™ APPLICATION
How a barbell is used will affect its durable lifespan and it's a key factor in determining what type of F Rating™ might be suitable for your gym's needs. This graph correlates the F Rating™ of a barbell with different types of usage in order to predict the durable lifespan. Using this data, we are able to make recommendations on what F Rating™ is appropriate for different training situations. With a rating of F10-R, the Ohio Power Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime of lifting (50+ years) in a powerlifting facility or home gym.

Key Features of the Ohio Power Bar - AGGRO:
AGGRO KNURLING
With these AGGRO variations, we’ve been able to increase the depth and coarseness of the Ohio Power Bar knurling without sacrificing the knurl geometry that we are known for. Our tooling has been specially designed so that we can have an extremely repeatable knurl with a more aggressive feel that looks as good as it grips. Available in your choice of two designs: 2X AGGRO or 3X AGGRO. Be Advised: The 3X is NOT intended for anyone unsure about their preferences or pain threshold; be sure to reference the comparison photos to get a sense of the extreme difference in the knurl of these bars vs. the standard version. (All bars include a center knurl).
STAINLESS STEEL
No finish offers better oxidation resistance than stainless steel. By leaving the shaft and sleeves of the AGGRO bars uncoated, we’re also able to give the athlete the true feel of the extra aggressive knurl. As noted, we recommend using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft.
200,000 PSI TENSILE STRENGTH
The AGGRO Ohio Power Bar’s 29MM diameter stainless steel shaft has a tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, delivering superior rigidity and virtually zero whip/flex. Machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the bar also features a snap-ring design and quality bronze bushings for a smooth, consistent feel.
CERAKOTE BRANDING
We’ve included Cerakote branding on each side of the center knurl in a unique “photonegative” stencil style, with black Cerakote bringing out designs from the stainless steel. The Rogue logo is featured on one side, while the other introduces the AGGRO Monster, with his number of teeth indicating the aggressiveness of the knurl (2 teeth for 2X, 3 teeth for 3X).
LIFETIME WARRANTY
The quality construction of the AGGRO Ohio Power Bar is backed by Rogue’s Lifetime Warranty against bending. This is a barbell equipped for high intensity, everyday use. Please Note: The warranty does not cover damage due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by the user, i.e., dropping the bar on a box, bench, spotter arms or pins in a power rack, excessive dropping with insufficient or damaged bumpers, or excessive dropping with iron plates, and similar usage. Any specific issues regarding a Rogue product with which a customer is not satisfied will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Returns will NOT be accepted on the basis of an AGGRO bar’s knurling feeling more aggressive than the customer expected.
