This bar is a BEAST. The Rogue Stainless Steel Lat Bar would be an upgrade for just about anyone looking to replace their basic lat pulldown bar. It’s Made in the USA 🦅, has a stainless steel finish, includes an easy-to-lock-in knurl, and is wide enough for a number of different grips. This would definitely be considered an “extra” since it’s pretty close to the price of a budget barbell, but would also serve someone a lifetime.
- The lat bar includes a diameter of 1.125″ and width of 48.” With that, you have a nice wide grip plus a ton of space in between to change of grip width. It also weighs about 16 pounds and is one of the best-looking bars out there.
- This Lat Pulldown Bar is fully knurled from basically end to end, and it’s relatively aggressive. It’s easy to grip and leave “knurl marks” on your hand after a heavier lift.
- It’s not cheap. At $165 + Shipping, it’s much more expensive than many cheaper alternatives that’ll serve most just fine. The price multiplier you have vs. other options is most likely higher than the performance multiplier of other lower priced options. With that being said, it’s built incredibly well and should last a lifetime.
In the end, this American Made Option would be a nice addition for anyone that has the ability to upgrade their lat pulldown bar. Is it necessary? Probably not. Nevertheless, it’s built incredibly well, will not rust, very comfortable to use, and should last forever.
