C-68S BAR

WOMEN’S RACKABLE SHORT BAR

The Rogue C-68S Bar is a 25mm women’s version of the C-70S Short Bar. Introduced in competition at the CrossFit Games, this bar is nearly 11” shorter than our standard women’s Bella Bar, but sacrifices almost nothing in features or functionality. In fact, the C-68S Bar is among the most robust barbells we’ve ever produced, achieving an F-Scale rating of F-12R in durability testing. The gap between the sleeves is also a standard 51.5”, allowing athletes to rack the bar on any standard rack and perform movements that haven’t traditionally been practical with short bars, such as the snatch and overhead squats. In fact, the “S” in the bar’s name stands for “Snatch,” as the bar was developed to allow athletes to perform Olympic barbell movements in the tight confines of the CrossFit Games floor.

Available here with a Black Cerakote shaft finish and bright zinc sleeves, the C-68S can benefit any woman training in tight quarters, be it a small garage gym or busy training facility. The space-saving efficiency created by the 68.25” shaft opens up lanes for more athletes to train in the same space at the same time. In cramped home gyms, it also enables full Olympic lifting movements—including proper hand placement on the snatch grip—with more room to spare and easier storage between workouts.

Like the Bella Bar, the American-made C-68S features dual knurl marks (with our signature Bella knurl), quality bronze bushings, and a 190,000 PSI tensile strength shaft. To ensure long-term performance, each steel shaft is treated with our exclusive Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) process, giving it superior fatigue resistance. Additionally, due to the shorter lever arm of the shorter sleeves, there is decreased stress on the shaft with each drop as compared to a bar with standard length sleeves. These combined elements help give the bar its superior F-12R durability rating (learn more about the F-Scale here), and ensure that it should last even longer than standard-length bars in high-volume gyms.
