Champion E-Z Curl Bar with Collars Review

The bar itself appears of good quality. However it was mailed with 2 collars that cannot lock or clip to the bar itself. Therefore the weights will fall off the bar (possibly on to your foot) After calling customer service 3 weeks ago I was promised that I'd receive a new set of collars within 5 days. I am still waiting.

Excellent curl bar with handsome chrome finish and knurled hand grips. The solid steel curl bar is heavy duty and has a compact length of about 4'(48"). Also, 2" diameter collars are included in the price, however I recommend 'spring collars' instead of the 'ring collars' so as not to damage the chrome plating. The 4' length allows you to add a substantial amount of 2" weight plates yet doesn't take up much space in your work-out center or gymnasium. Yes, there IS a substantial difference in a curl bar(versus a straight bar for enhanced bicep development) and I am very pleased and I highly recommend this to complement your other exercise equipment! Overall a great bar at a great price with super-fast shipping, thank you Amazon!

Apex Olympic Hollow Bar Kit Review

The bars are very light and feel cheap when you pick them up. No worries I say, they're CHEAP and I don't want to shell out the Benjamins for real, solid professional equipment. Besides, I'm not running a professional gym; it's just me and my son working out in our home gym.
All goes well until the end piece (where the weight plates sit) on the curl bar pops off with no warning. The force of gravity causes the weights to fall with loud noises, YIKES what surprise. Loud noises, cussing, the curl bar twists violently in my hands (one side is now considerably lighter then the other), dents in floor, etc. No injuries, but certainly could have been broken feet, crushed toes, and serious wrist and forearm injuries from the sudden violent twist when one side unloaded quickly.
Well, now I'm out what I pad for the damn bar and I'm feeling silly to boot. I share my pain only to prevent you from making the same stupid mistake I did. You don't get something for nothing, you get what you pay for, and cheap equipment will cost you more in the long run.
I will now do what I should have done in the first place, namely belly up to the (curl) bar and pay for a solid professional well made curl bar, not this junk.

Olympic Dumbbell Handles with chrome Training collars Review

These handles are of a professional grade very heavy and stout, I bought dumbbells in pairs from 5 to 30 lbs. and wanted these for heavy weight. First out of the box you slowly and carefully thread the screws into the collars "gently". I used WD-40 on the first go and they are smooth and secure. I never back them out too far and never tighen too much. They seem to hold fine I put 40 lbs. on one side and held it down vertically and shook it to see if they slipped and it did not. You may be tempted to use a tool to tighten the collar but it is not needed. the only draw back is the shape is awkwardly long, I am able to do incline and flat bech press excellently by turning my fists inward at the top of the exercise. great also for a heavy bent-over dumbbell row. Not so hot for behind the head standing tricep extensions... Delivered within three days from Texas to Florida. Again a pro's tool for body building when you have no room for every increment from 30 to 90 lbs. in a dumbbell collection. Works good with average 2.5, 5, and 10 lb Oly plates, I get four tens on each side no problem. Recommend this product if it fits your needs!

Body Solid 47" Chrome Olympic Curl Weight Bar OB47 Review

The bar curves at sharper angles than most cheaper curl bars, giving a better grip and leverage to target biceps. There's no cheating here, just the proper angles and grip locations to ensure your biceps are doing the work, and not your wrists. Of course you can do reverse curls and use this on a preacher curl station, or do those weird head crushing triceps moves, so this is a great bar for biceps, triceps (with a bench), and forearms.
I had one of these a few years ago, and was curling about 80lbs. then I gave it away when I joined a gym, but the gym had lame curl bars, and suddenly I thought I was wimping out, only being able to handle 50-60lb. curls. I didn't know the angle of the curved bar had such an effect, but the new bar was putting all the weight on my lower arms, which of course are weaker, and need their own separate exercises and weights. But now I'm back on the good ship here, and suddenly understanding more about the mechanics of a proper arm curl, including grip and hand angle etc.
