The Westside Power Bar 2.

Pros & Cons

Bottom Line

When Louis Simmons puts his stamp of approval on a piece of powerlifting equipment, people tend to take notice.

The Rogue Westside Power Bar 2.0 developed along side Louis Simmons is in my mind, the powerlifting bar to have.

Not only does it look like a can of Monster Energy Drink, but it’s a 205,000 PSI, aggressive knurl, Made in the USA, Lifetime Warranty Record Breaker.

If you’re looking to PR on any or all of your Big 3 and want a bar that you can pass down to your grandchildren when you die (because us iron addicts lift till we’re dead and gone) then this is the bar for you.
