Cap Barbell47-Inch Olympic EZ Curl Bar for 2-Inch Weight Plates | Multiple Options

I’ve had this CAP 47” EZ curl bar for years and it’s still going strong. No rust, no warping, no issues—just a solid piece of equipment that holds up to regular use. For the price, it’s basically unbeatable. You really don’t need to drop triple digits on a premium brand unless you’re outfitting a commercial gym (which I’m definitely not—I just lift in my garage like a normal person).Knurling is decent, sleeves spin well enough, and it fits Olympic plates just fine. I use it for curls, skull crushers, upright rows, and it hasn’t let me down once.Bottom line: it does exactly what you need it to do, for a fraction of the cost of the “fancy” options. If you’re building out a home gym on a budget, this should be one of your first picks.

Great curl bar. One thing that is a bit of a negative is that it isn’t the standard weight of a curl bar. It’s about 17 lbs based on my weighing of it. Most CAP bars tend to be a few lbs shy of the standard weight of bars. The 7ft bar for example is only 40 vs 45, so it’s just something to be aware of with CAP products. I won’t mark down rating for that, but be aware.Aside from that it’s a nice quality. I like the black coating and it has a nice texture to grip onto.

Excellent quality and hard to beat for the price

Good quality. Bought it for a gift.

Works as it should. Not the highest of quality, but for a home gym it is good enough especially for the price. Wish the knurling was a little more aggressive.

For the price, I can't complain. It's an olympic bar for 30 bucks. It was used/refurbished and the packaging was incomplete but it's solid steel, it survived the trip. No rust on the locking collars, not that I care cause I am not using them anyway.The bar is strong enough for a lot of weight, provided you space the plates out enough. I found if I put large plates on the inside, they would get in the way of my arms in certain exercises like bench and some curl variations. I had to put my smaller plates on the inside, and larger on the outside to get some more room.The bar is easy to grip and gnurling was fine. I recommend using gloves because the bar is hard on bare hands with a lot of weight. The bearings are smooth and I've had no problems with the bar. I needed something shorter than a full olympic and I don't use a rack, so this was perfect for me.

This is a solid EZ curl bar for the price. It's not the nicest bar in the world, but for the price, it's great. The bar feels solid, it's got a good grip area, and the finish is pretty good. The only drawback I've found so far with it is the included clamps. The design of these is pretty lame, and they feel very stiff, and pretty flimsy. I would definitely recommend buying some new clamps to go along with this bar.

Overall pretty pleased with the Quality of the bar. Grip has a comfortable fit. The $$ was reasonable.The only negative I've found is the metal locks are rusted (see pic).I've ordered CAP plates arriving tomorrow 7/26/23. I'll up date my review when they arrive.Update:The four 5lb plates arrived yesterday July 27th. They are AMAZING for the $$ and Quality. Solid Steel that fit Perfectly on my CAP curling bar. I use these for lifting and toning. I couldn't be Happier with this purchase. You CAN'T go wrong with these purchases! Count on it!Alex Adam
