Product Description

ROGUE 29MM STUMP BAR

SPACE SAVING POWER BAR

Build strength without compromise with the Rogue 29MM Stump Bar. The Stump Bar is a rackable, short-sleeve version of our stainless steel Ohio Power Bar, built with the same 29MM diameter, 200,000 PSI, little-to-no flex shaft, bronze bushings, and aggressive knurl pattern. Though the shorter sleeve length (7.3125” vs 16.25”) reduces its potential weight loads, the 30LB Stump Bar is ideal for home gym owners who train in tight quarters or facilities tight on space who don’t need full-length sleeves for their powerlifting movements.

Please Note: Rogue recommends using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft. Steel on steel can cause rusting over time. See more tips here: Bar Care & Maintenance.


EFFICIENCY MEETS FUNCTIONALITY

The compact design doesn’t equate to lifting light weight. With a loadable sleeve length of just over 7" this bar has the capacity for (4) standard iron plates on each end, while still leaving ample room for collars. The 51.5” spacing between the sleeves allows this bar to be racked on any standard power rack or squat stand. This barbell allows for a wide range of strength movements from the rack or floor, all within limited space constraints.

For those looking to maximize the weight on shorter sleeves, the Rogue USA Olympic Plates or Rogue LB Calibrated Plates will allow you to exceed a 500lb+ total bar load.


CRAFTED FOR VERSATILITY

Every Rogue Stump Bar is specially machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that has been proven optimal for Powerlifting. The 200,000 PSI tensile strength shaft features single Powerlifting (IPF) knurl marks, and our signature Ohio Power Bar knurling pattern that is carefully refined for an aggressive grip without being too sharp or abrasive, ideal for powerlifting movements and accessory lifts


UNMATCHED REPUTATION

For over a decade, Rogue has set the industry standard as making the best and most durable barbells. With the Rogue Stump Bar, we've taken our flagship power bar to new heights, delivering one of our most versatile bars to date. This bar represents more than just the Rogue brand. Its name is a testament to 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 F16-R, the Stump Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the Stump Bar has been engineered to withstand the increased demands placed on barbells today. Read more here.

LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN

Our matte black sleeve option uses a new, low-profile, sleeve design that makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever.  The precision-machined sleeve is then treated with our proprietary matte black process, significantly enhancing its resistance to corrosion and impact. This treatment ensures that the sleeves retain their appearance for a much longer duration compared to traditional sleeve finishes

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.

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 F16-R, the Rogue 29MM Stump Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime of lifting (50+ years) in a facility or home gym.

Key Features of the 29MM Stump Bar

A Short But Rackable Power Bar
1

A Short But Rackable Power Bar

The Stump Bar is a space-saver and a game-changer for gym owners who want the feel, function, and rackability of a standard power bar, but don’t need the maximum loadable sleeve length. At a total length of 68.3125”, this bar is roughly 18” inches shorter than the Ohio Power Bar, and weighs 15 LBS less unloaded (30 LB vs 45LB). However, with a standard 29mm diameter shaft, powerlifting knurl marks, and rack-compatible sleeve spacing, the Stump Bar allows athletes to train exactly as they would with a full-length bar. Ample space is saved, and only the plate load potential is reduced.

200,000 PSI Tensile Strength
2

200,000 PSI Tensile Strength

The 29mm diameter steel shaft has a tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, same as our full-length Ohio Power Bar. This means it has superior rigidity and virtually zero whip/flex. Machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the Stump Bar also features a snap-ring design and quality bronze bushings for a smooth, consistent feel. Its rating of F16-R in our F-Scale durability testing is twice that of the full-length Ohio Power Bar, as the shorter sleeves reduce the effect of each impact on the bar.

Aggressive Knurl
3

Aggressive Knurl

The bar includes single powerlifting marks and a center knurl, each featuring a deep, coarse pattern that produces a reliable grip / stick without being sharp or abrasive. Perfecting this knurl pattern is both a science and an art. Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus on new Haas machines (built in the USA) and fine-tuned and personally tested by the Rogue team.

Finishing Touches
4

Finishing Touches

Each Stump Bar features a stainless steel shaft and a proprietary matte black sleeve finish. Stainless steel knows no rivals when it comes to oxidation resistance, and it’s also excellent for maintaining the original intended feel of the knurl. Our new sleeve finishing process is also uniquely effective, transforming the surface of the steel rather than coating it, greatly increasing the long-term corrosion resistance and color endurance of the matte black finish.

F SCALE™

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.

OXIDATION RATE

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.

*Warranty against bending does not cover any bar which has been damaged due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by the user. Negligent or faulty use includes abusive dropping of the bar (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. We have found that most problems with bars we replace are related to abusive use rather than manufacturing or materials issues.

Nice bar but arrived with issues
Overall it is a nice bar. However, both end caps arrived damaged . Also, the sleeves have sticking places that cause the bar not to spin freely without a little force.

Love the Stump Bar for my Basement Gym
I love the Stump bar for my basement gym. I am a big fan of the 6 ft bars because it is easier to walk around the rack when changing weights without hitting your head on the bar. The grip is perfect. It doesn't slip in your hands and I do not use chalk. The only thing i would change would be to add about 2 more inches to the collars. I think 9 inch collars would be better. I have a Midas Mini that has 9 inch collars. I plan on having and using this bar for life! I'm 58, so i do not think i will ever get to a point when I need to add more plates than a mini bar can handle. Besides, there are thinner steel plates out there.

Preferred bar over Ohio Bar
Got the Stump two weeks ago. I prefer it for Powerlifting exercises over my Ohio bar in black oxide. The knurl allows a good grip and is not too aggressive. Definitely recommend for small spaces.

Great quality! Even owning already a C-70S
I bought it and I have tested mainly on squats and bench press. The feeling is amazing. I reserve my C-70S for Deadlifts and RDL, as more whip is better there for me. This STUMP bar doesn’t flex at all, and the knurling is the same I remember in my Ohio Power Bar (which I sold bc it was a PITA to move around my homeGym with that size… which I do not understand why is the standard as nearly NO ONE uses all these long sleeves). For my purpose using Rogue competition bumper plates I tried on 135kg total is possible with the collars on, more than enough for me. Recommended 100%.

A small solution to a big problem.
This barbell is a work of art. The feel on the knurling is simply superior. The proprietary matte black sleeves don't decolorate as the cerakote ones. A simple clean with 3in1 removed the micro scuffs that remain from the plates coming on and off. I live in a 6th floor and this bar just fits in the small space I have.
