- Rogue's Boneyard Bars are very popular, but is it something YOU should consider buying? Let's look at the Boneyard Ohio Bar I purchased, as well the pros and cons to buying a Rogue Boneyard Bar.

I took a risk and got the boneyard. I think it was the Ohio Bar with raw steel shaft and sleeves. When it arrived, I didn’t notice a double knurl or any imperfections in how the bar was manufactured. The machining was very good. Since it’s raw steel, it needs more maintenance and cleaning.
However, when it arrived, it was still the prettiest barbell I’ve ever seen. The difference in quality between the boneyard and my cheap barbell was night and day. I have used it for over a year and its been great.
It is really due for a cleaning. Especially since it is raw steel. I’m scared to clean it cause I don’t want an oily bar. Maybe one day I’ll splurge on the cerakote.
Glad to hear your experience with the boneyard bar. I haven’t had to clean raw steel, but I’m guessing there are videos and advice. Hopefully it goes well!
just ordered mine yesterday (prior to seeing this video).. but at least I wont be overly surprised if there is slight damage. Thanks for posting this
Glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂 I think most of the bars have minimal damage, so hopefully yours comes that way. Congrats on your new bar!
I ordered a ohio power bar too,single income trying to save. Well see what happens to me soon lo,oh wow they're shipping it right now 12:01 am and I just ordered it an hour ago. ☺
I just bought a boneyard deadlift bar. Definitely worth the savings!
Nice! Glad you are enjoying your bar.
I ordered a boneyard bare steel Ohio power bar from Rogue the other day. I live in the Newark area so I usually drive the 20 mile/35 minute drive to Rogue to pick up my new gear to get it sooner and avoid shipping f cost. Pickup was not an option with the boneyard bar. Regular price $290, Boneyard price $225+$25 for shipping. I can comment about the defects in my bar once I receive it if anyone is interested.
I do need to add that the regular bare steep OPB has bare sleeves. The boneyard version I ordered has bright zinc sleeves.
From what I have seen the price difference doesn't justify the no return policy or the lack of warranty. Pay the extra 40-60$ and get a lifetime of happiness with the bar.
Yep I agree!
I purchased my boneyard deadlift bar about 8 months ago, i honestly couldn't find any double knurl tracks or blemishes on the sleeves. The shafts are chrome , I'm guessing I got a great bar. Plus the deadlift bar performs great. No complaints here, and appreciate the review.
Glad to hear you had such a great experience! Thanks for watching.
Great review! I was considering a Boneyard bar for my first Rogue bar but went with an original just because it was my first and to get a kickass end cap. I would have been disappointed if I went with a Boneyard bar that had the damage like yours. I still plan to get bars from the Boneyard in the future.
The original end caps definitely look really good! I wouldn’t mind another boneyard in the future, but I also purchased an original Bella bar afterwards to ensure I didn’t have damage and to have the warranty as well.
@@rachaelsantoyofit how’s the Bella treating you? I actually just ordered one for my wife this morning. Just a way to bribe her into being my workout buddy, hah!
@@jamestonbellajo it’s been great! A little adjustment since I’ve always used men’s bars. I’ve been wanting to do a review, so hopefully I can upload it next week. I hope your wife likes her bar!
Hi. Thanks for the review. This is good info for people that are on the fence. I bought my bare steel Boneyard deadlift bar about 2 years ago and have zero regrets. The only reviews at the time were from lifting channels that are well established on youtube and I suspect Rogue pays extra special attention when they order products. Because theirs were nearly perfect. Mine definitely wasn't as nice as the ones reviewed. There are a few scratches and some obvious double tracking in the knurling, but ultimately I really don't care because it functions just as expected.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Great review, I also purchased your exact bar you have the bone yard 20kg , but it doesn't say Ohio bar on it like yours.so I talked to rouge and ask if it's a bella bar or Ohio and they told me it's Ohio but doesn't states its Ohio.but it's the same one you have, just confused , is your a bella bar or Ohio and how do you know.because they have a video with a bella that looks like the Ohio just like ours
I have both bars. The Bella is lighter and has a smaller diameter grip compared to a standard bar like the Ohio. The end caps can also be a good indicator of which bar it is, or you can look at your order invoice from Rogue.
I ordered a boneyard bar like yours and was surprised by the amount of cosmetic damage I received on mine. There was a long mark on the knurling as if something melted it a bit. Was a bit disappointed since I thought there was going to be few visible marks based on others' reviews.
Bummer! Sounds like our experience too.
Looks good for the price. I just ordered my Ohio Power bar in stainless steel :)
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it :)
That’s why I alway buy bare steel bars. Have bought two bone yard bars in which I couldn’t really find why it was sent to the boneyard.
Good to know!
Good review. Can you let me know how the finish on the bar is holding up after a year?
Finish still looks good. I haven’t noticed much change at all.
How long did it take to ship?
This bar and my more recently ordered Bella Bar both took 7 days from order placed to delivered.
Good info on the Boneyard version. I almost wanted to go this direction but I ended up with going with the Ohio Power bar bare steel since it was in stock. Great addition to my home gym. I do own also the Ohio bar E coat version very nice. Rogue has been exceptional with there products. I had a minor cosmetic issue on one side of the sleeve and they sent me a replacement quickly the Ohio bar!
I have heard Rogue’s customer service does a good job. Glad to hear they replaced the sleeve.
Ordered a boneyard bar today, praying it has nothing crazy
A lot of people have had good experiences and minimal cosmetic damage, so hoping you have a good experience too!
@@rachaelsantoyofit update, the bar had some double tracked knurling and a couple scratches. Sleeves are in perfect condition so I’m pretty glad with the bar.
@@kellerv.602 good to hear! Enjoy 🙂
No bearings in bone yard bars .just a bushing
Alway buy bare steel bars from the bone yard
How is the upkeep? I’m worried about rust!
@@rachaelsantoyofit It’s pretty simple. Bar has gotten some very light rust but not much to be honestly as I live in a dry area.
@@javiermireles5125 good to know! Thanks.
