For $70 is probably safe to assume it's a bushing bar. I think Rogue bearing bars start in the $300-400 range.
Besides that bearing bars are way overrated. People only started caring about bars once Rogue started selling all kinds of fancy pants bars.
I have both types and use my cheap bushing bar 90% of the time because I like the knurl and diameter better. Honestly couldn't care less about the spin or whatever bearings get me
Edit. More like $600 range for a Rogue bearing bar…!
80% off the people on here will never bench 225 or deadlift 315. This bar will work fine for them imo. Esp at 70 bucks. I respect your opinion but I feel this bar can work for lots of people on SD.

Awesome price for a beater barbell. I've never seen this particular one before and wonder what the actual load is. Of course the Dick's one comes to mind, which deforms at 315lb lol

I'll let you know once I get it. Ordered it last time it was posted
Anyone have experience with this brand? Looking for a landmine bar, was planning on waiting until the rep fitness basic bar came back in stock but this might be a better deal for my intended use.

Rogue the t-shirt company? I didn't realize they made other stuff.
Ditto this. Bearings are great if you're working towards elite Oly lifting, but I've been perfectly happy with my generic bushing bar for (light) powerlifting and general fitness for 15+ years. Expensive bars are often overrated, I've tried blind tests with about 5-6 different bars and a lot comes down to good knurling and your personal preference.

I'd be more concerned if a hex bolt were holding the sleeves on (which is most likely). Those tend to come loose in time and require frequent tightening. I know mine did.

Without a doubt for general fitness and light (I suppose that is subject lol) powerlifting, any bar that is half way decent will do. Without a doubt a blind test for most users are going to say performance is pretty dang similar. I definitely could tell you though, having a powerbar/squat bar with 455lbs is much different than a generic 32mm alloy bar with the same weight haha or trying to C&J 225#s with a power bar vs an IWF bar
Of course, there 100% is something to be said that type-specific bars are worth their weight in gold if a lifter actually needs it. A few examples:
- 28.5mm bushing/bearing hybrid for crossfitters (no center knurl)
- 29mm for powerlifters
- 27mm for deadlifters
- 28mm bearing bars for oly folks, etc.
But of course, If anyone needs this type of barbell, I don't think they're looking at sub-$100 generic bars haha
