XMARK Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates
XMARK Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates feature a classic, sought-after design, making them an essential component for free-weight strength training. These traditional plates are solidly built with impeccable craftsmanship, ensuring durability and reliability for various workout routines. The design incorporates recessed tri-grip handles that have spacious openings, allowing for a comfortable and secure fit in the hand. These handles are rounded with integrated finger slots and are slotted for easy loading and offloading onto barbells. The weight numbers are clearly molded into each plate, providing quick identification of their mass. A solid steel precision hub ensures that these plates fit perfectly on Olympic bars, which are characterized by their 2-inch diameter sleeves.
Customers consistently describe XMARK plate weights as exceptional in quality. Each one-piece, high-quality cast iron plate is meticulously hand-crafted and individually inspected to meet rigorous standards. A tough, premium rubber casing, composed of both virgin and recycled rubber, covers each plate, offering protection and enhancing their lifespan.
Olympic plates, such as these, are specifically designed for use in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting. They are compatible with Olympic bars, distinguishing them from standard weight plates which are designed for 1-inch diameter sleeves. Beyond their primary use with an Olympic weight bar, these plates can also be utilized as hands-on weights without a bar. This versatility allows for a variety of exercises including weight-assisted sit-ups, roman chair back extensions, overhead presses, lateral shoulder raises, and oblique twists.

• 65 lb Set: Includes (4) 10 lb, (4) 5 lb, and (2) 2.5 lb plates.

XMARK Curl Barbell Sets
XMARK offers a selection of curl barbell sets designed to enhance strength training and provide a comfortable grip during exercises. These specialized barbells, including EZ Curl bars, are crafted to help develop biceps and triceps while minimizing stress on the elbows and wrists. The unique "W" shape of the bar provides a multitude of grip options, making it a flexible and versatile tool for various arm workouts.
The XMARK 4' EZ Curl Bar for 2" Olympic Weights, for example, is designed to give a more comfortable feel when performing curls. Users can easily change the intensity of their lift by alternating grips along the bar. This particular model features a chrome finish with a black manganese phosphate shaft and a 28 mm grip.
Another notable option is the XMARK Crowbar Olympic EZ Curl Bar, a high-quality piece of strength training equipment suitable for any gym. This bar is engineered to provide a comfortable and effective workout experience. It features a black manganese phosphate coating on the grip shaft, which offers unbeatable hardness and abrasion protection, contributing to its durability. The Crowbar Olympic EZ Curl Bar is a versatile and robust piece of equipment, ideal for a wide range of curl exercises. These include preacher curls, reverse grip curls, upright rows, and overhead triceps extensions.
The design of a curl bar places your arms and wrists in a more natural position, promoting comfort and reducing stress on the wrist joints and potentially the elbows. The multiple curves on an EZ curl bar allow for holding it in narrower or wider positions, accommodating various exercises from underhand curls to overhand skull crushers. The 28 mm grip shaft provides a comfortable thickness for easy gripping, and it features passive knurling that is gentle on the hands. The sleeves of the Crowbar are snugly secured with a maintenance-free snap ring lock system and include brass bushings, allowing the sleeves to spin freely. They have a hard chrome finish without micro grooves, which enables plates to slide easily during lifts, even without collars.
The weight of the Crowbar is approximately 20 lb, making it suitable for those who need to start at a lower weight, as there is no need to struggle with the starting weight of a typical 45 lb barbell. This can be ideal for women or youth beginning their lifting journeys. The sleeves are 6.25 inches long, which is generally sufficient for most users. The bar has a weight capacity of 400 lb. The total length of the bar is 48 inches.
