Welcome to Rogue Fitness

Overview

The Castro Bar is a polished 28.5 mm bar with no center knurling and both powerlifting and Olympic lifting knurling marks. This bar has the same great knurling that has made Rogue bars famous. It features high quality bronze bushings for reliable spin, and will whip enough for use in Olympic Weightlifting.


This bar is bare steel and just like any fine piece of machined steel this will require some upkeep. Occasionally brushing the bar down with 3-in-1 oil or WD-40 will create a beautiful patina look. This is how bars were made for decades and this creates an unmatched feel.

I just got the bar. What can I say it rocks. The bare finish and knurl are sweet. The spin is smooth. My first quality bar and I now see the difference. Thanks Rogue.

I am no elite crossfit athlete, but this bar is awesome! The construction is flawless. The knurl is perfect and the collar spin is very smooth. However, if you live near the ocean or in a humid climate(like the southern states), the bar will really need to be kept up and cleaned/oiled frequently if you want to keep the finish nice. Within just a few days, there was already rust along the shaft and collars. Personally, I don't mind at all doing a little extra work to keep my equipment nice. Just be mindful that it will rust!

We have several Rogue bars at our box, but this one quickly became everyone's favorite... Great grip feels good in your hands! We also let ours rust a little bit lending it an "old school" look that everyone appreciates. Holds up great to any lift we've thrown at it. (Olympic and Powerlifting) I highly recommend this bar...

Bought this bar as an all purpose bar to supplement my high end olympic lifting bars. The quality, spin and finish are superb. I highly recommend this bar.

I train both olympic lifts and power lifts and this bar is strong! its mildly flexible too, but not like an Elieko. I've been doing 5x5 deadlifts with 565lbs and its holding up great. The spin is okay, but may not be fast enough for elite oly lifters. Overall, great investment and I'll probably have this bar forever

Badass Bar

This is by far my favorite bar. I like it better than the Eleiko or any other's I have. Overtime the grip gets better and better with added use and a bit of rust.
