Barbell Care & Maintenance

We are very excited that you are the owner of a Rogue Barbell. This bar will require some maintenance.

We recommend the following maintenance to keep the barbell steel healthy—frequency will vary based on climate:

1) Use a plastic bristle brush and a mild detergent to clean the knurl. This is just like cleaning the leaves out of your gutter, if you leave them in there, bad things happen.

2) Wipe down with 3:1 oil and brush into the knurl with a plastic bristle brush. The steel will soak the oil in and the bar will stay healthy.

3) Wipe off any excess oil with a dry towel.

The advantages of Black Oxide:

1) Black Oxide gives a barbell the best feel on the knurl because it is not a plating.

2) Black Oxide is a mild protectant against oxidization.

What to expect over time:

1) The barbell will most likely get a patina over time.

2) The bar will last a lifetime.
