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.

This bar is perfect for a first home/garage gym bar.

I purchased a C-70 approximately 5 months ago and have used it twice a week since then. It is, in my opinion, a perfect bar for tight spaces with excellent spin and knurling. Although some of the coating (paint) has worn off were it racks, that is to be expected, no coating has thus far worn off on the sleeves. I clean and oil all of my bars once a month on a rotating basis and believe that this bar will provide decades of service with the proper care.

I have regular size bars but this bar is great if you don’t have a lot of space in your hone gym and want to do workouts that require multiple bars. Also a great bar to take on road.

I purchased this bar to use for t-bar rows with a landmine attachment and it works great for that! Like every other Rogue bar I own, (Ohio Power bar, C-60 bar and Curl bar) the quality is great. Can't beat MADE IN THE U.S.A. quality!The finish does wear off on the sleeves over time from sliding plates on an off, but I personally love the 'used' look! Definitely not a bad thing in my opinion.
