EZ grip olympic bar

shanetrain1973 · 09-07-2006, 09:27 PM

Any one know where I can get a good priced EZ curl bar for Olympic plates? All I can seem to find are ones that fit the plates with the small holes in them.

Shop around at local stores, are you in the USA or Canada?

What's good priced to you? Here's one that is $40 (+20 shipping) from a website with a reputation for selling quality products

I reccomend getting one from somewhere reliable or somewhere where you can test it out first. A clubhouse I go to ordered 2 ez-grip bars because the members wanted some weights, but they were awful the balance was all off and uncomfortable.

I agree with Starman. Not all EZbars feel the same to me.

shanetrain1973 · 10-31-2006, 09:10 PM

I've seen one for around $20 at Dick's. That seems to be a decent price.

You saw an olympic one at dicks??

ja_ke · 10-31-2006, 11:35 PM

a 45lb olympic one or just one that holds olympic weights? I have a 5lb bar that holds olympic weights and I like it a lot more than the ones they have at the gym. I am pretty sure it was real inexpensive from like dicks or dunhams or something like that.

I've got a 'Hampton' brand one. It's black and I like the way it feels in my hands, very comfortable. I almost never use it though. I do curls probably 2 months out of the year these days.

I want one that will hold Olympic plates. I think they weigh around 25 lbs. Now that I'm starting to curl heavier weights, the straight bar is eating up my wrists!

Well, I gave you my suggestion on a bar I like... ..but maybe instead of blowing your money on an easy curl bar, you should check out 'Vegeto's Wrist Guide for the Barbell Curl Impaired'-
