If you want an adjustable output height, you need a pulley on top of the stack. So choose either 1:2 ratio, or double output. Like the one I have on my rack. 2 handles. Have to use both to get full 1:1 (300 lbs). Use one only and it's 1:2.
As for extra cost, well it's extra pulleys and pop-pins for the height adjustment. If you want the outputs to swivel side-to-side, there's that also. And a bit more steel.
I'm pretty sure Magnum made one like this years ago. I remember it from efs videos.
EDIT: here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EftXlutdeWE not sure if it's magnum

Thanks. I'm importing some special (read: cheap) oil just for the bar. My family runs a small tailoring factory, and they use this particular sewing machine oil that does not stain clothes. I don't know the exact make up of the oil, looks just like baby oil or mineral oil to me. I can't find it anywhere else.
For all I know, it's just some cheap mineral oil.
And I got a nylon brush just for the bar.
I'm building my home gym one part at a time. The bar is here. Next I need plates and a rack and a bench. So all my workouts so far are just 45 pounds.
The wife now wants dumbbells and kettlebells.
I'm now wondering if I should go metric or imperial for my plates, if Rogue makes powerlifting plates in pounds, then I might upgrade to those later. If I ever decide to compete, then I might go metric. Bumpers or Cast Iron. I think I'll go get some cheap bumpers.

I'm jonesing pretty hard for that bar.
Only thing is it's so humid here right now that the sound of it rusting would keep me awake at night."When you press, you train with Kono, Alexeyev, Starr, Grimek and Cyr. When you press, you train

Haven't been able to "rep" many of you for a year or more...not for lack of trying.

Thanks! Of course I want my kid to follow his father's footsteps. Turn him into MMA champion at age 6, press his own weight, recite pi to 100 digits, speak 5 languages and be the ultimate soldier. Or something.
The wife is convinced I need the rack or stands with spotters for safety reasons. She's not yet convinced to use the bar for herself. Says she wants to make her own program using the bells.
Of course I'm leaning towards a rack and not just stands. Depends on the budget, tells me I have my bar so she needs to get her bells first before I get anything else. Not going to disagree there.

I'm aware of the other brands Rogue sells, some of which isn't available on their Canadian site(Werksan, Eleiko and York).
My confusion is Mech6 saying the OPB is made by someone else other than Rogue. I went to the Kubuki strength site and the only bar I see is the Duffalo."When you press, you train with Kono, Alexeyev, Starr, Grimek and Cyr. When you press, you train
much more than the shoulders and arms. You train the soul of the sport of barbell exercise." - Rip

I figured you knew.. Sounds like some confusion going on. Pretty sure Mech was talking about the Duffalo bar when regarding getting the "coating" options. Rogue does not offer the coatings on the Duffalo bar, only the bare steel version. KabukiStrength.net sells the bar direct and has a few coatings you can add to the bar.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so, especially with the more aggressive knurls. Even though I said "thick" hard chrome, it's measured in the microns or nanometers or something, and doesn't seem to affect tolerances of firearms that much (it has been suggested to use the gun in question at least 500 to 1000 rounds before doing the hard chrome.)
Maybe this wouldn't make sense and just do the whole bar in stainless for what it would cost to hard chrome the bare steel.
