48-Inch Super Curl Olympic Barbell for 2-Inch Weight Plates | Multiple Options

A good curl bar a a great price.

Great quality

It's hard to go wrong with a curl bar for ~$40. I got the Elite with chrome finish. The knurling was more aggressive than what I expected for a budget bar, a pleasant surprise. It's actually sharper than the volcano knurling on the REP multi-grip cable attachment that I have. A assume they knurled the bar this way so the knurling would be still be reasonably effective when it's painted over for the black version. As other reviewers have commented, the sleeves squeaked and made a lot of noise out of the box. I disassembled the sleeves, cleaned out any metal dust in bushings and applied some synthetic grease. No noise any more. One downside of the knurling is that it actually extends 2 inches past the brass bushings in the sleeves. It will wear down the bushings over time as the bushings rotate over the knurling. However, this would likely take thousands of reps. The inner curves of the bar feel good for close grip skull crushers and other triceps exercises. The wider grips are the right width for curls. My bar didn't come with the pictured, cheap, set screw style collars. I would have thrown them away anyway, so no loss. You'll need a set of internal snap ring pliers and a 10 mm hex key to disassemble the sleeves, although I was able to get away with a 3/8" hex key. I was going to ding a star off the review for the knurling that extends under the bushings and the need to disassemble to clean up and lube the bushings, but it's a sub $50 curl bar. With prices rising for even basic workout equipment, this bar is a solid value.

The tightening weight plate locker things are those twist-tightening things with the arms that ALWAYS collide with the plate.. Annoying as hell.. The curve of the bar, is just a bit too ROUND, and too "severe". Price is great, it's solid and strong! For the cheapest item I could find.. not bad. But, you MAY... you MAY... eventually wish to upgrade anyway to a bar that "feels" better

Great bar for the price!

Estoy usando el sistema del Dr. John Jaquish X3 y los GANCHOS me han ayudado a utilizar la CAP Barbell Barra olímpica de tríceps de 34", Negra (OBIS-34SB), la CAP Barbell Olympic Super Curl Bar, negro (2 pulgadas) y CAP Barbell Olympic Trap Bar, Hex Bar, Shrug Bar, Deadlift Bar, que compre aqui mismo. Y de esa forma hago otras variables de los ejercicios con las mismas bandas. SUPER RECOMENDADO TODO

Absolutely great quality and perfect curling design!

Just what I ordered. Built well very strong and sturdy.

Great bar, does what is says, black paint pretty kool because im the only one of my friends with a black bar so no one can steal it. TBH the only reason I bought the bar is because it's the same bar Levan Saginashvili used when he curled 395. Awesome bar, it will be the last curl bar ill ever own
