XMark Commercial Hard Chrome Olympic EZ Curl Bar Brass Bushings, Medium Knurling, 400 lb. Capacity, Olympic Weightlifting Bar, Olympic Curl Bar, Triceps Press, Preacher Curls, Bicep Curl

Bar arrived packaged well inside a heavy cardboard tube with end caps and then placed inside of a shipping box. So far I really like the bar. I got the black version of the 3677. You probably can't beat the quality and finish of these bars. The bushings are great and the ends spin nice. Worth every penny.Not really thinking, I had originally picked up a cheap $28 weider bar of a similar style based on the reviews and couldn't stand how bad it was and how much noise it made, all loose and sloppy.I just recently got back into doing some weights after about 12 years and intend to build myself a home gym. Convenience is key and going to a gym regularly just isn't going to happen anymore.

Love this bar. Had a 1" bar for a long time and did curls and whatnot but have moved to using most of my 1" weights for dumbbell work. I have lots of olympic style 2" weights so this was perfect.Pros: - Bar thickness is perfect - Knurling is very nice, not too aggressive but actually can feel it - Bend shape fits your wrist angle very well - The ends spin nicely, not that you need a lot of spin for curls but they're smoothNote: I just wiped them down with a little WD-40 on a rag to keep it cleanCons: - Nothing so far

Great finish. Tolerances are tight so the sleeves don't clank around. I purchased the black oxide bar and I love the knurling. The knurling is aggressive and will make a man out of you. Honestly this might be one of the nicest curling bars I've held in my hands. I also purchased the Olympic VooDoo bar from them and it's equally impressive,

Very nice curl bar, nicer then most bars in commercial gyms. Knurling is just right, sleeves spin smoothly and are machined with grooves which help keep plates from sliding off too easily if you aren't using collars. Packed like they care about the product which is nice. Significant improvement versus my 1" standard ez curl bar.

Very nice EZ curl bar for the price, a much better value than the one from that "R" company. Knurling is sharp, but not coarse - perfect for it's application really. The sleeves on mine spun freely upon receipt, but were a little crusty feeling. A little bit of higher quality lube solved that though (not that it really matters - again, it's an EZ Curl bar). The amount of bend is just enough to take the strain off of my wrists and elbows without turning the movement into a straight-up hammer curl. Very pleased with this bar for the price. Feels like it will last forever.

Very well made curl bar. The shipping package was sturdy and withstood the common package abuse from today's shipping companies. The bar is gym quality and constructed solid. This bar is also priced resonable. I have been looking for a couple weeks before choosing this bar. The fitness equipment stores are selling similar bars for $150 - $200. Great product for the price.

Nice feel. Good quality. Weight is 22lb so it may be lighter than a similar bar at your gym. Regardless it is a solid purchase.

This bar is built like a tank, and for the money it is great. The angles for the grips seem to be a little less than what most other curl bars have but it does the job.
