What are Boneyard Bars? They are brand new barbells from Rogue’s traditional line but have minor cosmetic issues such as blemishes or knurl inconsistencies. They are priced lower and are fully “functional.” You’re going to beat it up anyways, right?
All Rogue barbells can be added to this line so you’ll find bars that range in all different sizes and types. Therefore, this is a great page to watch if you have a specific barbell in mind (weightlifting, power, deadlift, squat, etc) and want to save $100 or so (range will vary). You’ll find anything from a Bella Bar to a Squat Bar, but they are not always available. They even have loadable dumbbells available today.
Here are some quotes from a few with experience. The reaction from most was overwhelmingly positive. The majority would say that there are slight blemishes, but it does not affect the performance of the bar.
@rob_flores_ I have 3. Deadlift bar, OHP bar, and a WestSide PowerBar. Absolutely love them. Small blemishes that do not affect the performance of any bar i.e. double-track knurling or slight discoloration in the sleeves.
@jaclyn_shepard: I’ve had two and they were both fine. Couldn’t even tell what the defect was.
@frosty92snowman: I have a Matt Chan bar from the boneyard and I haven’t had any issues, probably one of the best bars I have bought
@thedonnguyen: Most people have purchased a boneyard bar can’t even tell. My boneyard has a tiny 1mm knick in the finish, which sent it to the boneyard. Spins smoothly, knurl is perfect. Absolutely no complaints from me. There has been 1 case where I’ve heard of where someone got a bar that didn’t spin, but Rogue made it right.
@doublebombmakes: Just got my wife the Ohio DL Boneyard Bar. I honestly can’t find anything wrong with it.
