Pros & Cons
Pros
The bends are slightly more angular than the current one which allows for a better forearm twist and that isolates my biceps more during the curl. It appears clean and well made, with a nice and even black coating that doesn't chip and cross grooves i... Read More
Knurled handle is nice, it's not rough or carelessly machined. The knurling isn't very aggressive, and the weight sleeves rotate nicely, without any squeaking. The shape is correct for various curling options.
This sets you apart as a serious bodybuilder. This is the first barbell i’ve bought so i may be inexperienced in selecting exercise equipment. This seems like a good value for the cost… especially when you consider how much a gym membership is over ti... Read More
The bar feels solid and sturdy. It is heavier than most ez bars at almost 20 lbs. The packaging is very well constructed.
The bar holds 2-inch style olympic plates. Comes with 2 weight * to prevent the plates from falling off.
Cons
Extremely gritty and noisy. There is too much play in the sleeve/bar connection. The illustration that shows what appears to be a well-made sleeve/ bar interaction just is not true.
Highlights
Quality
Quality is good and it can hold a substantial amount of weight for a curl bar.
The quality is great, comfortable grip, and everything you would expect for an ez curl bar.
I guess if you have bumper plates, it won't slide off easily but with the collar, its not really a stabilizing factor.
That causes the plates to rotate every time i do a curl, eventually causing them to spin a lot even with the locks in place.
Price
The price is almost unbelievable for such a solid bar, with brushings, bearings, coating, knurling, threaded collars, solid end... Read More
The price is likely only possible due to the material being listed as alloy steel, rather than raw steel or stainless steel.
Shipping
---i don't normally evaluate shipping packaging, but it's obvious that this heavy metal bar could 'damage itself' in shipping t... Read More
Packaging/appearance
I was shipped as requested in concealing packaging and on time worked out great.
This means the naked bar is roughly 17-18 lbs, which lines up with the packaging.
Competitiveness
I ordered this curl bar to replace my 15lb straight bar.
We placed 25lb weights on each side and there was no slack on either side.

The bar in the middle can turn and this is causing the squeaking

I’m not a huge fan of the color and was worried it would feel or look cheap
