Why the bend makes the difference
Curl a straight barbell and your palms point fully upwards. Your forearms hold that position through every single rep – and sooner or later you feel it in the wrist. The EZ bend rotates your hands in between, into a half-neutral position: less pull on the wrist and the elbow, and a grip that simply feels more natural. That's exactly why most people reach for the curl bar instead of a straight barbell for biceps curls, skull crushers and French press – and for upright rows anyway.
Ten kilos, Olympic sleeves, nothing new to get used to
The curl bar weighs 10 kg – half an Olympic barbell, and a lot more compact. For arm work that's an advantage: you start lower and you step up in finer increments. The grip area measures 28 mm – the same diameter as on our Multisports Bar, so there's nothing new to get used to. The sleeves are 50 mm, which means every plate with an Olympic bore goes straight on. What people write in the reviews below this text matches our own impression: it sits well in the hand, and the finish is right.

EZ curl bar vs. straight barbell

|---|---|---|

| Typical exercises | Curls, French press, upright rows | Squats, cleans, deadlifts, WODs |
| Use case | Targeted arm work | Full body, all the big lifts |
The curl bar doesn't replace your barbell, it hangs next to it. If you squat, clean and deadlift, the Multisports Bar is your base. Once arm work comes in and curls or French press start pressing on your wrists, you reach for the curl bar. Most home gyms end up with both.

Customer reviews
I'm not a bodybuilder, and there's still a curl bar hanging on our wall. The reason is simple: after a few years of heavy pulling and pressing your wrists start speaking up, and with the bend the grip is just more relaxed. For arm work at the end of a session I pick it up every time.
