EZ Curl Bar or Olympic Weight Set with EZ Curl Bar, Weight Plate Set

Excellent Quality, coating on bar is nice as well, the bar is a larger diameter than others I have used which is very nice, along with the deeper cross hatching on bar this makes it very comfortable to grip and easy to hold while exercising.The bushings are very smooth and quiet during use, they pivot easily without any noise as it should be.Bends in bar are excellent !, easy to grip and hold comfortably in more than several different exercises I use this bar for.Just a excellent quality bar, was a bit more expensive than some but I see why, the larger diameter bar, deep cross hatch, quiet and smooth end bushings and manganese phosphate coating are all very high quality, very impressed, was totally worth the slightly higher price, you get what you pay for :)It was shipped well, in a thick tube and then inside a heavy long box, received in perfect condition.Very happy with the Xmark bar, will be sure to check their other products out if I do any more shopping.

This is a very quality bar at this price point. I like the angles in the bar and feel comfortable on my wrists during skull crushers and curls. The knurling is very sharp which is fine for me as I where gloves but be warned if you are planning on using bare hands. The bearings are very good and rotate nicely. Overall I am very pleased with this bar and the quality is better than I expected. Exactly what I was looking for. Also I'd like to commend XMark as a company for NOT price gouging during the Covid equipment shortage. I will likely buy from them again very soon as they get more inventory. A+ 5/5

The product itself is high quality but, what is commendable is that the packaging was super deluxe. The bar was enclosed in plastic and placed in a rugged cardboard tube. The tube had plastic caps secured with a screw on each end to secure the bar in the tube. The tube was placed in a strong box with a cover. Then poly strapping (6) was used to secure the box. Maybe sounds silly to mention but, I've seen some pretty shabby packaging before. This packaging in this case brought pure customer delight.

This is a great bar. I looked for a week before I decided. I wanted good angles, good knurl, black bar, thicker bar and bushings. I took a risk since this was new and had no reviews. This bar meets all my needs perfectly. I was going to get one of the $100+ bars, but couldn't justify it and the cheaper ones had almost no angle and we're just poor quality.One complaint I read a lot about with other bars was poor packing and greasy bars that had to be cleaned for an hour before use. This bar was packed better than many items I have received from Amazon. It drop shipped from the manufacturer and they did a great job. Wrapped in plastic , then placed in a thick tube with plastic ends and then put in a thick box. There is no problem with the black finish coming off. The bushings work perfectly. The weight of the bar is 22lbs. I like that the ends are chrome rather than black...won't show scratches from plates that are inevitable.See my pictures below. I tried to get a good shot of the angle. I highly recommend this bar! No reason to spend more money.

I’ve had this bar for a while now and it works great. I was a little nervous from the bad reviews I read but had actually received an email from the manufacture prior to them sending it out letting me know that they had a batch of bars come in that had some minor paint scratches on them and added me if I would be fine with the bar at a discounted price and sent me pictures of the bar they intend to send me and it’s imperfections. The things that were wrong were purely cosmetic and the actual bar works exactly like it’s supposed to. I use it out in my garage and it hasn’t started to show any signs of rust like summer people complain about and is holding up well. I feel like this is a bar that’s going to last for a long time

All in all, a good deal on a decent quality, sturdy ez curl bar.Pros* Construction seems solid.* Spin (not critical for a curl bar) is plenty adequate.* Knurling is good, aggressive without being painful.* Bends are fine, several good comfy positions.* Packaging is top notch, out box was crunched a bit but the bar was safe inside the inner tube.Cons* Arrived with some nasty brownish oil/grease/protectant all over the bar...gone several rounds with 3in1 oil, a brass bristle brush, and a rag and it still leaves your hands with brown grime.* Finish is subpar. Not expecting Rogue-level fit and finish at this price point, but my bar has a large splotchy section (see photos) and other smaller finish defects.I would think twice before purchasing a primary Olympic or powerlifting bar from XMark, but for a secondary accessory piece like this, it does the job.

I have now purchased two curl bars on amazon, the first was cheap and it showed. This one was inexpensive and is as good as any high-end curl bar I've used.The finish is not perfect, but it is close enough.the sleeves rotate perfectly.the knurling is excellent.the shape and angles are about as traditional as it gets - and exactly what I was looking for.Best affordable piece of gym equipment I've purchased hands-down.
