Overview
This 47 inch Olympic EZ curl bar has a cambered W shaped shaft designed for a more neutral wrist grip during curls, presses and other upper arm exercises, and it takes standard 2 inch Olympic plates.
- 47 inch cambered EZ curl bar
- Fits standard 2 inch Olympic plates
- 500 pound weight capacity
- Chrome finish with diamond knurling and spring collars included
Who it's for
Home gym lifters wanting an affordable EZ bar for biceps and triceps work who already have or plan to buy standard 2 inch plates. Less suited to those planning to load it heavily right away with the included collars.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently called the bar sturdy and well made for its price, with knurling praised as grippy without being harsh on the hands. The main criticisms were the included spring collars, which some felt should be upgraded for heavier loads, and a squeak that developed for at least one buyer during use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Comfortable knurling that grips without biting hands
- Cambered shape eases wrist strain during curls
- Sleeves rotate smoothly under load
- Good value for the price
- Included spring collars are basic for heavier loads
- Sleeves can develop an audible squeak over time
Performance notes
The diamond knurling gives a secure but not abrasive grip, and the needle roller bearing sleeves are meant to rotate smoothly under load to ease wrist strain. Reviewers confirm the sleeves turn well but a portion report a squeak developing with use, which the manufacturer notes can be fixed with lubricant between the sleeve and connecting lever. The included spring collars hold plates in place for moderate loads but are viewed as the weakest included component.
