Curl Bars

1. What is an EZ curl bar?

The special shape of the EZ curl bar takes pressure off your wrists and offers several grip variations for targeting different muscle groups. It's ideal for arm exercises and makes for gentle, effective training.

3. What are specialty bars?

Specialty bars are barbells designed for specific exercises or training needs, e.g.:
• Trap bars: for deadlifts with a neutral grip.
