Christian's Fitness Factory has a very reasonably priced rack that might be a good alternative to the one discussed in this thread.

...

The hand spacing looks a little tight on the Dane Strength monolift. If the Rogue rack is 43 inches hand spacing, the Dane Strength looks to be at about 40 inches.

On the same topic, I would like...

Just a heads up, Jeff at BWProducts.com offered to beat the Texas Strength Systems price of $999.

His price is $950 shipped. That would be for the current version of this bar, with the raw,...

What is the distance between the collars? It's not listed on the rogue website.

I've heard that Quest bars are made by "Malone." Not much other info available.

Good one. There's not much information out there about the Quest power bar. The knurling has been apparently not that consistent from bar to bar.

For the Q- bar, however, you need look no...

TPB knurling looks nicer. Depending on your power rack, the 1/2 inch extra distance between the sleeves on the TPB might be an advantage.

OPB looks like a good alternative to the B&R bar, i.e....

You are thinking of the Chan bar.

That bar looks like the old Rogue power bar, with the black sleeves.

Rogue could certainly make a bar like this. Bright zinc sleeves might be more cost effective. Chrome sleeves would be cool also. It would be a very popular bar.

An all-bright zinc Ohio power bar would be cool also.

It would be nice if the whole bar was bright zinc, but another cool option would be just the sleeves, like the Eleiko bar power bar. This could give you a nice raw grip, but still prevent the...

Also, how about bright zinc sleeves, with the knurled section between the collars in raw steel? Similar to the Eleiko power bar:

I'd like to see an entirely bright zinc plated Ohio Power Bar. The black zinc has been known to rub off, leaving the shiny bright zinc underneath. It doesn't look great when this happens. Might as...

Waiting for the raw steel Ohio Power Bar.

How about an entirely bright zinc plated Ohio power bar?

Thanks for the info. That is really helpful. I guess it would be a snap ring design? Was hoping it was a USA product.

No, it's 1800 lb test. zinc plated.

That's my question; it looks like a stock photo.
