Your transition to the NASM was so smooth I think I let out a poop
pics or it didn't happen
Sometimes I watch to see how smooth you throw in sponsor advertising. Todays video deserves an applause. Well done sir.
I've perfected the chump change.
before you know it.. its an ad, so smooth. does he know he's an ad?
I do what I can.
You should narrate on the discovery channel.
Need a better accent.
Oh boy, I was starting to have some NASM withdrawal. I was happy, I am now happier.
Hah glad I could be of service.
I love how you're able to sneak in a promo for the nasm in every given condition. it's pure genius xD
Hah been since July, was feeling a bit rusty!
Damm basement You reviewing ability has improved like crazy
I think this was my first real review lol
Glad to see you making more videos! Always looking forward to when you review a new product. Thank you.
Going to try to get some more reviews out, have a backload of items.
Sometimes I re-watch older videos just because the NASM plugs always had me dying.
Hah I'd gladly do more if they asked.
taste the resistance baby bam baby
tastes like old pennies.
Dem NASM plugs always on point!
Maybe it'll help pay for a new bar
That NASM segway.......had me laughing out loud. Nice one, Brandon.
I do what I can
Great review. I have 2 of the 45 pound Ohio power bars in black zinc and 2 Texas power bars with black zinc finish. Ohio power bars are used more and preferred by my lifters. Also, we're in Cranston. Come up for a visit any time.
I was actually talking about your gym with a buddy of mine when I was driving down to NY last weekend to train. We were saying how we need to check out more of the gyms in RI and I mentioned yours. I'll shoot you an email.
Awesome. Matt@PrimalATC.com is the best email. Very last minute but I have John Gaglione coming up Saturday for a seminar. Coach of Larry Wheels, 900 pound squatter, starts at 9:30.
If you oil your bar, rust is never an issue. I just lightly wipe down may bar using 3 in 1 oil once every 3 - 4 weeks depending on humidity.
I've been using 3 in 1 on it but it still oxidized.
Must be awfully humid in your basement. Is the rust primarily on the collars or the knurling? When you're applying the oil, you need to let it sit for a bit before wiping any excess off.
I'm sure you know what you're doing, but if your bar is oxidizing that rapidly, there may be environmental factors, or a deficiency in the application process.
Not humid, but someone pointed out the fact I live so close to the ocean might be playing a role too. I also don't believe rust and oxidation to be the same thing necessarily. My other bars don't get it as much as this one, so that's another piece of the puzzle.
That's a great point, the ocean water is likely acting as a catalyst. And, you're right - oxidation can manifest in many forms, rust being just one of them. If you aren't already, you should take a wire brush to it to get rid of whatever rust has built up, then oil it.
Aside from that, you really only have a few options - live with it as is, oil it more frequently, or add a permanent boundary layer to the bar (like a zinc oxide coating). But considering the cost of the bar and severity of the rust, I'd just keep using it as is. Stay big!
Great video as always Brandon!! keep it up!
Thanks Rodrigo!
Hey Brandon, this video gave me viewing-pleasure
oh baby!
I hate when I get oxidation on my shaft.
Gives you a reason to rub it down
my god Brandon your plugs are just so right in there! Your butt plugs not the NASM plugs where we can clearly get a two weeks free trial and become a certified personal trainer! lol Awesome review man!
Thought it was "fitting"
lol well at least it still fits and is not just falling out of you! No one likes plugs that just fall out! lol
it's definitely a bar in want to add to my gym
I love it, but in all honesty I should have gotten the 20kg OPB!
Brandon Campbell you could always treat yourself to it at one point
Have a Ohio power bar 45lb. Love it. No complaints
jealous
I have the Ohio Power Bar, I couldn't ask for a better powerlifting bar. Great review!!
Nice, 20kg or 45lbs version? Also, which finish?
45lb black zinc
You following jane's pissening cooking channel Brandon?
Needs more ham bone.
about time this came out. was waiting forever for this lol. had my OPB for awhile and could not justify the extra cost for the Westside bar. the murdered out black with the neon green bushings was hella tempting though
Def a dope looking bar. To me the only real difference is the westside bar feels a bit more aggressive on the knurling.
The squat fail + Beyonce Song = Surf Board! LMAO
lol
Solid video man! I liked pulling with it when I came down last month!
Everyone who comes to my house says they like pulling it.
LMFAO!!
NASM plug in are so smooth as always
Been awhile, felt a bit rusty.
I take it you got the westside bar before your KG plate set otherwise you would have got a KG bar.
I have the old westside bar and the ohio power bar, and one thing that I like is that the old westside bar is a tad longer collar to collar which makes it easier when walking out squats. But the old westside bar was not in IPF spec because of that.
That was def one of the reasons, as well as that was during the time they couldn't keep the 20kg OPB in stock. I just watched your bar review video and it's got me hankering for more bars. How as the Rogue DL bar held up?
perfectly. Has been doing well, but I am not dropping it on rack pins or anything abusive. Just normal deadlifts
It would be awesome to get ur opinion on the rep fitness stainless power bar. Looks like a beautiful bar for 270 bucks for stainless from end to end. Thanks for another great review.
Have heard good things minus the knurling isn't aggressive.
How does this compare to the Aggro bars that Rogue is making now?
This is more akin to a regular OPB.
Hey. How does the knurling on the Rogue Westside Power Bar compare to the Rogue Ohio Power bar?
It is more aggressive on the WPB
Brandon Campbell Diamond thanks for the fast reply. I think I am going to go with the Stainless steel Ohio Power Bar. She is beautiful lol
Brandon, so far you help me decide getting the RML 490 rather than the RML 690 and probably took my home gym cart from almost 5k to 3100 (wife is happy about that) but I still can't choose between this Westside and the Rogue OPB, I don't see an issue with the price, although my wife will be lifting with me so knurling might be the case but still...she can wear gloves...
I think your best bang for the buck is a regular 45lb OPB. Will save you about $75 and do just as good (if not better)
Brandon Campbell Diamond Thank you.
Could you do a video on knee sleeve comparisons? Also are you able to compete in USAPL competition with the STrong knee sleeves?
I've done a video on SBDs, Rehbands, and STrong sleeves previously. I'll likely do another with Titan's Yellow Jacket sleeves in the future. The Strong sleeves aren't on the IPF approved list, so they likely wouldn't be allowed in USAPL.
Thanks Brandon
anything for you.
Thank you for the video, thumbs up.
Thanks boss!
What is the difference between this and the OPB?.
slightly less volcanic they say, but it's very similar. More looks/name at this point IMO
A review of the new SBD belt would be useful - cheers.
Ah maybe they'll donate one... ;)
Didn't see that segway coming. Good job
Haha had to get it in.
its a decent bar
I'd be comfortable saying it's a great bar, issue is the 20kg OPB is just better IMO
Brandon should I invest in a Ohio deadlift bar, does the whip and slack make a huge difference when pulling heavier weight? Is it true you can increase more weight on pulls compared to a stiff bar?
Most people can pull more on a deadlift bar because of the extra whip, just remember they're not legal in some federations so if you compete it may be better to make sure it's legal in your federation
Typically you can pull more (in my opinion), however unless you have cash to burn I don't see a purpose in getting something you only get benefit out of 1 lift on.
i wish i would of got the Ohio Power Barbell rather than the Westside Barbell just because of the price and the black coating chipping
Yeah if I had to do it over I'd likely grab the 20kg OPB!
I would like to see a review of the IVANKO OBXS-20KG29mm Stainless Steel Power Lifting Bar thanks!
I would like to have one!
Loving my 20 kg Ohip PB.
Kind of wish I picked one up!
I have the Ohio power bar (45 lbs) and I wish I would have gotten the 20 kg version since my okie deadlift bar is 20 kg and I'm a perfectionist and the 20 kg version looks cooler
Ryan Kueter You hate it for the 1 pound?
How do you care for your bar? I own a OHB with the bare steel and it is in a lot worse than yours. Just would like to know how to care for the oxidation.
There are some products out there, but I think unless you do it all the time, it's bound to happen.
Great review and nice lead into the NASM..lol
Payin da bills!
if you compete in the appropiate feds be cool to review the dl bar , also you gave me your off vid review of that mountain of sleeves but I'd bet a few be interested in a vid on quality of them
Maybe if I do enough NASM ads it'll fund a deadlift bar. I will def do a knee sleeve extravaganza at some point, but want some more time to break in the new titan ones I got.
cool , was a seamless link by the way lol
What made you buy this bar vs the OPB
I think they may have been sold out at the time
20kg OPB wasn't in stock and I had always wanted this bar (before the 20kg bar existed). If I could do it again though I would go OPB
I bought the 45lb OPB... Not that this pertains to you, but it russles my jimmies when people are so anal about getting the 20kg bar to get as close to meet condition as possible. is the one pound and slightly larger collar going to make that much of a difference?
There are some slight differences like you mentioned. Smaller collars also equals our to more loadable sleeves. I've also found walking out squats for me with a competition collar is a lot different than with regular sleeves. I have to change the way I do it b/c with a comp bar I end up banging the rack pretty bad. They also use a different weld on the sleeves on the 20kg I believe. Probably won't make a huge difference, but we're talking something like $50 so might as well go with the 20kg IMO.
Fair, I just wish lifting weights could be simple lmao
Would you recommend buying this over the opb? Is the extra $75 worth it?
I think the OPB is still the best bar for the buck
do you prefer this over the eleiko pl bar, and if so, why?
TheDaydripper yes, mostly bc the elieko bar is $1000 before shipping.
I love the opb, im lucky cause my gym has 2 of them but the first one got bent lol
hopefully ill be using that nasm next year if its still here LOL
Damn, someone was probably using it for pin squats or rack pulls.
can you do a video about the operator bar?
If I buy one I will.
But will it blend?
lol
How is benching with this? I’m focusing on the big three lifts this year squat,deadlift and bench. Putting together my list on rogue and was wondering ur input. It’s between the Ohio and this one.
It's a good bar for sure, but I think a OPB is the best value.
Brandon Campbell Diamond thank you for your input.
I'm not hopeful for any shaft oxidation this week! ( argument with my lady,*tut*!)
hey now!
Brandon Campbell eheh ;)
once I start ballin from that UA-cam money....IMA have to get me one of these westside bars!
Nice! I would probably seriously consider an OPB instead!
OHP 20kg here, love/hate the knurling lol
jealous
Any idea if Rogue is still making the Westside Power bar 2.0? Been on the notification list for months and haven’t heard anything of it being back in stock.
I believe so, just a tough time to buy anything, most things come back in stock but in such limited quantities that they don't stay in stock long, so most notifications aren't going out.
Brandon Campbell Diamond Finally came back in stocked today and ordered right away!
what else is better about the 20kg ohio power bar other than it having more sleeve length?
It's IPF approved, so if you compete in that federation it can be beneficial.
i see. well i'm not into powerlifting, just looking to get a barbell set up at home for deadlifts. i don't care about grip so knurling doesn't really matter, i'll be either using straps or versa gripps. so probably gonna get the 20kg bar cause i could sure use the extra sleeve length(im pretty sure it has the longest sleeve length).
what do you think about plates too btw? i've gotta use bumper for sure, i'm gonna be deadlifting on wooden flooring. i was thinking about the echo's at first but those are just way too thick for deadlifts. right now i have my eye on the black training plates though.
You can do that, I had bumpers before. Just know that you won't really be able to progress past 600lbs with them. You could always just build a platform like I have (even a smaller one just for deadlifts)
yea i was watching that video and your bar was filled to the brim lol. yea i probably won't be getting close to 600 anytime soon, maybe even never, so i think bumpers will be fine for me.
maybe will build a lifting platform in the future, but i hate using them at my gym cause they're always dented. i prefer rolling the bar rather than setting up around it, and the dent always messes up the rolling.
Have u tried the strong elbow sleeves or the new strong wraps?
I have the new STrong wrist wraps, will talk about them once I get some more use out of them.
We have that bar at are gym love it
Right on!
Isn’t the 2.0 just a color variant of the Ohio power bar?
Can't comment as I've only owned the 1.0, but it had much more aggressive knurling.
Eilko competition bar, i wonder how stiff it actually is compared to the OPB ... but then again is costs about $1000 sooooooo...
SMG Powerlifting (where I visited a week ago) has both :)
The new adipower weightlifting shoes
If I somehow get some donated to me that might be more doable. I have 4 dedicated pairs of heeled shoes as is. I'd rather buy equipment at this point I think rather than another pair of shoes.
Review some ankle weights, love you
I think I have wrist weights actually...
I got the same bar I love it
But it bent slightly:( but still a good bar!!!!!
Rack pulls or pin squats?
i think it was pin squats
hahahaha. smooth
Doing what I can
cheeky
I do what I can.
Maybe one day all of your subscribers will be nasm certified and so nasm can move on only to take over another channel, we can only pray.
Haha to be fair they're all over a lot of channels these days
Taking about shafts and smoothly going into a NASM....
Yeah I had to resist just going full shaft jokes.
Tensile strength is why it has no whip silly Brandon
I think it can be misleading on that front. You'll find deadlift bars with a lot of whip that still have a relatively high PSI tensile strength in comparison to regular bars.
WOW I just had the biggest brain fart. I forgot what tensile meant... disregard that comment LOL
I think you're still right, it does play a big role in it, but so do things like diameter.
Well tensile also takes into how much weight it can take before the bar actually snaps. Of course there are many things like the material that play into whipping etc... Who knew weight lifting bars could be so complicated...
Good video!
Brandon -- seems like your videos aren't as exciting as they used to be. I love your channel but is something 'off' ? Maybe it's just me.
I don't think I've ever been accused of being exciting lol
MURICA FUCK YEHHHHH
Had to get it in there
There's just not enough Team America references out there. That, sir, is the reason why I'm a subscriber.
toododd-o toododd-o toododd-o
That's what I'm sayin!
You still have you lbs plates? Sell em to me bruh?!
Sold them to another sub.
The Ohio power bar has no center knurling
That is incorrect.
Brandon Campbell Diamond sorry. I was looking at the Ohio bar
Shit, almost tree fiddy for the westside? Does Rogue need a voice over guy? *ahem*
We don't crossfit hard enough
This barbell is trash once it ages. The knurl becomes slippery af. Would not recommend. Stick with the reg Ohio bar
Only way a knurl doesn't stand up with age is due to use (which impacts all bars) or b/c of misuse.
