The Lumberjack Olympic Barbell from Xmark Fitness is a high-quality piece of strength training equipment for serious athletes. This barbell is constructed with a 120,000 PSI North American, heat-treated and cold-rolled carbon steel shaft with a black manganese phosphate coating for added durability. It features a 28mm shaft diameter, rated to 1000 lb. weight capacity, and a 2200 lb. tensile strength rating. The barbell is designed to be compatible with both Olympic-style competition and standard weight plates, featuring precision cut grooves in the sleeves that ensure a secure, secure fit. The comfortable, medium knurl pattern provides good grip and a secure hold, making it a great choice for squats and bench presses. Additionally, the rotating sleeves prevent the barbell from warping, while the center knurl assists when performing squats, deadlifts, and other compound movements. The Lumberjack Olympic Barbell offers great value for the serious lifter and is sure to last through many years of intense training.
