COOP asked for Rogue to step up their specialty bar game a few years ago, this is a V1. Hopefully, knowing Rogue, they will incorporate some of your suggestions and others to a V2. I love pressing with my Kaddy, it was going to take a lot to convince me to get this one, thanks for the review!
This looks nice and all, but it's way too expensive and not necessarily any better, than say, an Elite FTS American Cambered Bar. I think the idea of this bar is better than the actual thing and I think owning this is more of a flex than anything. Thanks for the video!
I agree. I have the elite fts and i have a hard time listening to anyone tell me the kabuki or this one would really be worth the up-charge for the slight difference.
I agree, I have the Elite FTS American Cambered bar and it’s a great bar at an affordable price. This one looks nice, but it’s very expensive and when you buy the extra handles it really gets up there.
Seems like a very honest initial first impression review. I'm grateful for it Coop, thanks. I love my Kadillac bar. My only issue with it is sometimes a tiny piece of the extremely rough powder coating flakes off onto you. Like around your face/torso.
Rogue a few years ago was like the gold standard when it came to gym equipment. But recently due to personal experiences and seeing all there new stuff, I have to say they have gone down a level personally.
Would love to see a video on their new, narrow version. Seems like it addresses most of your issues with it (narrower frame, thicker handles etc) Thanks for the awesome videos man, stay strong!
Got my MG-4C with stainless parts today and it's dope AF. Got straight handles and 16 degree handles. I sold my MG-3 Bar and some plates and it was totally worth the upgrade. It's pricey, but I'm very happy.
I have the Kadillac and the Bells of Steel (knock off) for my 2 home gyms. I prefer the Bells of Steel because it is narrow and I never feel it wobble.
After watching this, I can’t help but feel like this bar doesn’t know what it wants to be. It’s cambered, but it’s so wide. It basically eliminates itself from being a viable overhead press. Plus it’ll be super annoying to center your hands on such a wide grip every time without center marks of some sort. It’s also modular, which is great. But it’s intentionally semi-permanent. So why bother being modular? You know how annoying it would be to try to dial in the correct hand width? Why didn’t they make a quick release type system? Why even make this at all? Why not just offer 3 different variants of a bar while making each of them unique? All of their previous versions are basically the same bar with updates. And what’s with the small grips? No options? Everyone who has experience lifting knows pressing feels better on the joints with thicker handles. I just don’t understand Rogue sometimes. It’s like they don’t know what lifters want.
After seeing the details on this bar, I gotta agree with you. I think Rogue missed the mark here. I can't come up with any compelling reason to buy this over other options and several reasons not to. The width of it but itself is a show stopper if you've even pressed with this type of bar.
@@TheMuscleMasochist Absolutely! And still rackable. Hate that people miss this, I guess Americans live bigger then me. They also have a flat version now by the way.
If this ever segways into cable attachments, then the American Cambered Neutral Grip from EliteFTS is the best piece in my opinion. It fits so nicely lifting with it inside my rack that I don’t see a reason to buy a “combo” bar - especially the one from Rep where the screw looks like its going to puncture your neck every other rep!
How does this compare to the Elite FTS America Cambered Grip Bar? Seems like that is the best cambered bar on the market except it comes with powder coated sleeves
I would agree with you about the handle bars being something that once you set you will not change, which I have heard many reviewers mention. However, what I think they are missing (and maybe because they have had the luxury of trying many bars) is that because you can move the handles and chance the grip angle to your perfect fit with 1 bar. That means you only have to buy one and not multiple to find the grip setting you like.
I see Coop’s point about putting the handles in one place and never moving it. But the modular aspect is great for different limb lengths. So, you may leave the handles in one place but it makes the bar not a one size fits all.
You have a point but I would say that most people will not use this feature and in order for that to be practical there should be a more user friendly way to move the handles. Case in point is the Kabuki Transformer bar and it's evolution to now being more easily adjusted.
Love the editing. You guys are really crushing it in the content dept. and I don’t even lift weights. I am a walk the dog and eat right kind of fitness person. I’ll run if a bear is chasing me. Anyway, just wanted to mention that I’m digging what you doing and give the algorithm a little juice with a comment and a sub.
I love Rogue but I see zero reason to go with this bar. It is huge and ridiculously expensive. It should just come with all the handles. Kabuki for the win. Where Rogue can shine is if they can manage to improve the Kadillac bar when they take over production for Kabuki. Make the handles knurled, dull down the sharp edges, and offer shorter sleeves just like the MG-4. Boom.
Definitely sticking with my Kadillac Bar from Kabuki. The specialty bar from Rogue I’m most interested in is the CB-4 (“double-T”) bar. I’m waiting until a few reviewers get them in-hand and share their thoughts before I pull the trigger. What I’d REALLY love is a 3” cambered bench press bar but no one seems to sell them. Titan has a 4” one but I’m not too keen on Titan’s quality. Hopefully the CB-4 can give me a deep enough stretch when benching that I wouldn’t need a separate cambered bar for benching.
Great first impression. But, Kabuki Kadillac FTW. I think Rogue is slipping and they’re long line of latest “innovations” are meh at best. I have a CB-4 on order (hopefully it’ll get here within 2022) and it’s the first piece of Rogue equipment I’ve been excited about in a long time.
Compare it to the elite fts American cambered bar, and Kabuki. I also wish they used a 32 mm grip. Between the thin grip and extra width, I'm probably gonna hold off until they do a 2.0 version. I really was looking forward to this bar because of the concept, and stainless steel knurled grips. Number 1 is functionality which is y elite fts American cambered is king for me.
Making it adjustable is extremely useful for experienced lifters who know how the bar is supposed to feel for them, and know how to set the handles to put stress away from an ache or pain, new lifters will have no idea how to optimally set it and should just stick to a normal one.
I'm so glad I didnt wait for this bad boy and ordered an elite fts bar. This bar has the same issues as the titan bar. It's too wide and the handles are not in the fully cambered sections. You have no grips at max camber, the grips suck, and it's a pain to move the handles. You may as well have a flat bar because you get almost no extended ROM with this bar. The elite fts bar has 3 of is handles at max camber, titan has 1, and rogue now has zero. This was made by an engineer who doesn't even lift.
I have both, and I prefer the fts. The cadillac is far better quality in construction, and looks, but for feel, and functionality I prefer the fts bar. Plus u have a close grip option with the fts bar.
This bar would be great for odd sized people that most bars wouldn’t be completely inline with. That said, most people are fine using most of the multigrip bars out there already, even those people. If they had a system that let you change the handle inserts quickly and easily that was still stable, this would have been great.
it looks nice but it definitely looks too wide. I've had my Kabuki Kadillac bar for about 18 months and love it. The handles have the perfect angles plus they are not too long so grabbing it centered has never been an issue.
I like the bar personally, but I understand where Coop is coming from as my wife said similar things about it, but then again she also has baby hands; ). I wish the handles came in 1.5" or even 1.3" so it would feel better pressing but all in all I think it's a decent bar after 2 weeks of use but for the price I'm not sure if it's worth it. I've tried the kabuki kadillac and it was great but I could never justify buying it because I live in Canada and at the time Kabuki I don't think was shipping here (I know now they do). The irony though is that the MG-4 bar is more than the kadillac bar. In retrospect I think the kadillac bar is the better option(I don't remember if the handles had knurling or not) and I say this only because of price and how it feels in your hands when doing pressing movements.
The price is obviously an issue but I guess the benefit is it’s the only bar you can buy and change to suit you. If you buy any other bar without trying it and something isn’t quite right, you’re stuck with it. This is also the only bar with rotating sleeves too I think? And I guess the other benefit is that Coop mentioned he’d like thicker handles… this is the only bar where you could potentially change them. I am a bit of a rogue shill but looking at it objectively, I still feel the same. But yes it’s expensive but so is the Kaddy.
My Titan multiigrip is similarly wide and I love that as a variation for pressing. Mimics log quite a bit if you don't have a log, but adds range of motion. Not a downside for this Rogue bar in my opinion.
To me this seems like a great multi grip bar option. I like that fact that you *could* move the handles if you wanted to. It just like everyone’s been saying, it’s way too expensive.
Thicken grip of bar by putting pvc pipe over the bar as you insert it = thick grips of any size you like. Changeable. Can make it rotate too if desired, or cut the pvc so it just fits with angles on the ends so it won't rotate. PVC cheap, can make all combinations desired. Moveable grips means you can slightly alter the width etc.. over a period of many weeks to shake things up a bit. Width of this ... I can imagine some will put an aqua bag on top for instability (people are crazy).
This seems like a nice bar but as you mention it’s very wide and most people won’t want to move those handles…. And it’s quite expensive, especially with those extra handles. I’ll stick to my Elite FTS Cambered American bar for now.
I like the Kabuki Cadillac bar. Not sure there would be any reason to switch. I have a lot of Rogue equipment which is great but I think you are right about this one. On a different topic, check your spelling on “Assemble”. Oops. 😄
@@GarageGymReviews I've never used a bar like that but for some reason I want it so bad. I remember seeing it, seeing the $495 price tag and my first thought was "Wow, I can't believe shipping is only $25"
The fact that he left the EliteFTS American camber bar out of the conversation causes me to subtract a couple points from Coop’s score lol. Get the EliteFTS camber bar and the Rep fitness camber bar and leave this one alone. Sorry Rogue. But in consolation your CB-4 bar looks absolutely AWESOME!!
Be careful with what you wish for. Who will blink first. Will Rogue continue to be great quality and exorbitant prices. Will other bars be made smaller? Or, will Rep make wider racks? The Rep multi seems to fit all Racks. So who is going to be first to market a 6 handle not so big $400 version of this. Titan or Rep?
With the short sleeves this is the only multigrip that is rackable and short. For people with not so much room this is a life saviour. There also is flat version now by the way. Maybe give this bar another chance? I agree that it its to expensive and I don't care about the adjustable handles.
Kabuki recently announced a partnership with Rogue to produce the Kadillac Bar, giving easier access to East Coast consumers, but also Europe. I’ve been wanting to purchase the Kadillac bar for some time but being in the U.K. the shipping is astronomical, so hopefully the price will be more competitive. For me I think the Kadillac Bar is superior to this.
You would think that they would make attachments for this like thicker handles or smaller maybe some super thick handles like fat grips but 300 dollars for some bar that’s just as good as any other bar like the elite fts just can’t do it
It's bothering me how all these reviewers so far keep mentioning how most people are going to leave the handles in one setting and hardly adjust it, like that's a negative. The whole point is that everyone will have a different width that feels comfortable to them, but when you buy one of the other MG bars on the market, you don't get to pick exactly what that width is! The idea is that it's exactly the right width for each end user. I do agree that this one seems priced way past where it should be though. I made my own MG bar, but if I were to buy another one it would be the EliteFTS cambered bar, not this one.
Picked this up today from Rogue at $225 vs the $680 original sticker. That’s after pouring over lots of reviews generally saying it’s wobbly and overpriced. Yet…$225 was tough to pass up.
Big and it is wobbly. However, for $225 I think it’s a steal. I grabbed a couple extra handles so I have about $325 in a bar that did retail for around a grand.
I just don't get the point of this bar. It's so expensive for what it is and I don't really think the ability to select the handle positioning has any real benefit over, say, the Kadillac bar, which has plenty of options built in and you never need to worry about buying more handles or repositioning the existing ones. The extra centimeter either side isn't really going to make any difference. If it was easier to remove the handles and put them in a different position in a matter of seconds then maybe it would be better, but even then....
COOP asked for Rogue to step up their specialty bar game a few years ago, this is a V1. Hopefully, knowing Rogue, they will incorporate some of your suggestions and others to a V2. I love pressing with my Kaddy, it was going to take a lot to convince me to get this one, thanks for the review!

Well said, agree completely
Doesn’t this and kabuki actually have the bar grips on the camber/angle? Way different
Elite FTS doesn’t get a whole lot of love, they make really good equipment for a decent price. I want to see some more of their equipment on here.

The width needs a slight reduction the camber needs a slight increase, I think.

The short sleeve option if you have limited width space makes this unique

Coop, you need to remember that rouge is making that bar so even giant strongman can use it so it needs to have wide handles.
I was thinking, why are you reviewing this again? Then remembered Basement Brandon did it lol. Great video.
Waiting for the cambered bar shootout comparison !!
Coop if you flip it over and OHP that way the camber bars work very well like that.

Hi Coop you say you made a review of the G20 but i canot find it! This looks like THE ULTIMATE MULTI STATION

Head to head vs rep, Kabuki, and Titan to hit different price points!
Elite FTS is probably the best option considering price vs quality.

Yep, need to include it as well! Good call out!
Can you try out the Sporzon 2 in 7 ft barbell?
Ill keep my Kadillac Bar after watching this whole video. Pretty unimpressed. The changeable grips are dope tho.
is it wide enough to use for trap bar deadlift? lol
I will stick with my Kabuki Kadillac Bar. I do think comparison between the rogue, Rep fitness, Kabuki and Titan bars would be good.
I was so excited to check this bar out! Definitely not as hyped. Sounds like Kabuki really thought out their initial design better than Rogue
Lucky for me, I have the Kabuki. Sure do ❤️ it.
All this bar makes me want to do is get an affordable version with the same functionality, aka the Rep or Elite FTS ones
Hope, Rogue reads that.
And by ''read'' I mean takes it into consideration for steps to take.
I wish I could try both Rep and EliteFTS' bars before buying. Though I may be extremely happy with either

What about making your own custom endcaps and then selling tgem so people can customize their bars
REP Swiss for the win!
I’d love to see this compared to the BoS Arch Nemesis bar
Doesn’t Elite FTS have a better cambered bar?
Kabuki recently announced a partnership with Rogue to produce the Kadillac Bar, giving easier access to East Coast consumers, but also Europe. I’ve been wanting to purchase the Kadillac bar for some time but being in the U.K. the shipping is astronomical, so hopefully the price will be more competitive. For me I think the Kadillac Bar is superior to this.
The Kadillac Bar is still the king IMO as well. A Kadillac Bar with knurled handles though? That I would pay a premium for.
Pull pin style addition would be nice for handles...time for me to fabricate
YASSSS! Great idea!
You guys should review some stuff from elite FTS

I bought the EliteFts version of this. Cheaper and does the same thing. Only down side is that the handles aren't knurled.
You would think that they would make attachments for this like thicker handles or smaller maybe some super thick handles like fat grips but 300 dollars for some bar that’s just as good as any other bar like the elite fts just can’t do it
Please show leverage, Smith machines, functional trainers equipment for safe solo lifting.
It's bothering me how all these reviewers so far keep mentioning how most people are going to leave the handles in one setting and hardly adjust it, like that's a negative. The whole point is that everyone will have a different width that feels comfortable to them, but when you buy one of the other MG bars on the market, you don't get to pick exactly what that width is! The idea is that it's exactly the right width for each end user.
I do agree that this one seems priced way past where it should be though. I made my own MG bar, but if I were to buy another one it would be the EliteFTS cambered bar, not this one.
2:27 Li Jie Wang, who built a hulk fitness rack is also an "actual human craftsman". Except he's getting paid way less, sadly
Lmao I’m glad your characters are starting to grow, it’s pretty funny, Assamble ….
The monster cave rogue ?
Picked this up today from Rogue at $225 vs the $680 original sticker. That’s after pouring over lots of reviews generally saying it’s wobbly and overpriced. Yet…$225 was tough to pass up.
How is it? Thinking about geting one.
Big and it is wobbly. However, for $225 I think it’s a steal. I grabbed a couple extra handles so I have about $325 in a bar that did retail for around a grand.
I just don't get the point of this bar. It's so expensive for what it is and I don't really think the ability to select the handle positioning has any real benefit over, say, the Kadillac bar, which has plenty of options built in and you never need to worry about buying more handles or repositioning the existing ones. The extra centimeter either side isn't really going to make any difference. If it was easier to remove the handles and put them in a different position in a matter of seconds then maybe it would be better, but even then....
It'd be cool to see it compared to the ROGUE CB-4 38MM CAMBER BAR
