The first patented curl bar was engineered by Lewis Dymeck in 1950 and called the "Dymeck curl bar". The rights were sold a number of years later and the name was changed to "EZ curl bar". The EZ is just an abbreviation for easy.

@GarageGymReviews Год назад

Thanks for the history lesson. Love learning things like this. - Coop

@prescottosegie Год назад

Thanks for the history lesson I appreciate it very much 💪😎

@medicmike7549 Год назад

“Ez is just an abbreviation for easy”… I remember when I learned English too…

@highviewbarbell Год назад

@@medicmike7549 it's weird for non-Americans because they would say it "E Zed" and thus not even make the connection

@jgw928 Год назад

And they're "easy" in the sense that they're "easy" on your body. A neutral wrist position puts less strain on the tendons in the forearm and is therefore less likely to cause tendonitis.

@nickjames2002 Год назад

The Vulcan curl bar should have been included. It is near identical to the Rogue and much cheaper

@Emoney2322 Год назад

agreed

@trogdor8634 10 месяцев назад

Rep, titan, rogue repeat ggr has a formula.

@viviannguyen5850 8 месяцев назад

Agree. Seems like he want to promote Rogue’s products only

@uclajd 6 месяцев назад

It has chrome sleeves.

@ront2457 Год назад

I have an xmark curl bar that I love...EZ curl means easier on the wrists and elbows...due to the hand angle the bar gives to reduce stress on the wrists especially

@DANA-lx8cv Год назад

I have a Rogue curl bar. After a few years of use, it still looks brand new. I like the 30 pound start weight too. It feels sturdy and you can really load it up.

@tankspl7 Год назад

I have the REP rackable chrome curl bar. I have been very happy with it.

@charge2x Год назад

Agree about marking the weight on the bar.

@stevenkoos Год назад

Titan Fat EZ Rackable Curl Bar is also a consideration after already owning a regular diameter curl bar. Strength Shop rotating handle curl bar and Troy VTX curl bars are also something to look at as long as you own a regular EZ curl bar.

@thunderjeep08 Год назад

I have the RAGE curl bar. It was a little squeaky when I got it, but it went away with some oil. I use it for squats, deadlift, and overhead press since I don't have room for a full barbell setup. It's held up really well for over a year deadlifing 200lb with it.

@jkinney4678 Год назад

Love my REP curl bare, I completely agree

@NUMBER_74 Год назад

I bought a stainless steel rackable curl bar last year. I can't believe I went so many years with a regular curl bar. Rackable is 100-percent the way to go.

@marucat2797 Год назад

Is the ends longer to fit the rack? That’s a good idea…

@speedbumpmedia9584 Год назад

You need to try the Bells of Steel industrial rackable curl bar. Much better design with great bends, more aggressive knurling, and the weight is on the end caps. I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I love that rackable curl bar.

@bench175 9 месяцев назад

I'm going to post a review I made on the BoS bar tomorrow. I hated it and sold it. Its made for very narrow shoulder people like women.

@Matt34677 8 месяцев назад

I have that bar and I like it.

@ironhallgym Год назад

I bought a curl bar from Dicks Sporting Goods five years ago. No issues with it. I also built a rackable fat grip curl bar out of pvc and metal. I love it as an alternative.

@impaledface7694 Год назад

I love my basic ez curl bar that came with weights. It's spinlock so standard, but there is plenty of room to load weight and it racks okay on my halfrack. So many exercises feel great with it.

@marucat2797 Год назад

I picked up a Hampton Fitness 4’ Curl Bar. It has aggressive knurling and rubber end caps. Love that bar and fits all my needs. Was about $200 USD from local fitness store.

@NoFate247 Год назад

Make sure to get a Rackable Version if you have a power rack, you'll thank yourself later!

@josh4154 Год назад

The xmark crowbar is a great option as well. I have one and it has a good knurl and is well made

@deke61sg Год назад

Another great option is Gopher Sport. I've never tried their regular bars but there Curl bars are very nice. They have three version starting at $159 (#1. 25mm, 20lbs, 48", #2. 28mm, 25lbs, 54" at $185 and #3. 30mm, 30lbs, 60"at $255) Nice bars. Check 'em out Coop. I must admit I have two Rogue curl bars, regular and rackable. I'm Rogue all the way!

@jonstewart5386 Год назад

I have the regular length, chrome Rep bar. It is AWESOME! The needle bearing they added gives the perfect amount of plate spin and I'm a big fan of the 30mm bar width. It's hard to find a curl bar that isn't too skinny or a full 2" fat grip. I like the passive knurling, but would like it fully knurled.

@mikeprice3174 Год назад

I have the same bar and love it. I use it all the time for movements I never planned on using it for. Really like it for shoulder presses. Knurling is definitely on the passive side, but it hasn't bothered me. Could be more aggressive and still be comfortable.

@samrmills Год назад

I agree on the rep fitness. Love mine in stainless steel rackable and standard. More knurling and lbs on the caps would be nice

@carlgibson7850 Год назад

I've used the Bells Of Steel rackable EZ Curl Bar for a few months now (the industrial black and gold one). Surprisingly good quality for the price and a decent knurl for the bar/price as well. Get it on a sale and you can't go wrong.

@ninjastrongman28 Год назад

100%, its awesome and the bend is perfect for me

@IsaacFNghost 2 месяца назад

An EZ curl bar is one of the few things im still missing in my home gym. I've had this one in the cart on amazon for a month now. Definetly going to pull the trigger on it soon! Glad to hear that itll be good money spent.

@thunderhawk2376 Год назад

Gopher makes a great ez curl. Picked up one a few months ago - feels awesome

@mantequillas1278 Год назад

I have 2 of those bars. I started out with the Amazon cap ez curl bar. The bends weren't enough for me. Six months later, I bought the Rogue Curl bar. There's a huge difference in quality and feel but also in price 😅. I love my rogue curl bar.

@Vapor454 6 месяцев назад

@shady7200 Год назад

I have xmark chisel and rogue curl bar and love them both

@robbykreisler4509 Год назад

I got a titan preacher curl bench mainly to lean back for over head extensions but i use it for curls too. I like to sit and lean forward and do kettle bell like swing/front raise

@ryannewby9086 Год назад

I just got a set of the same dumbbells from Walmart that are identical to Fly Birds but are called PRCTZ. The only difference is the handles are still metal not plastic coated and only cost $99 per dumbbell which is a phenomenal price for a dumbbell that goes to 55 lbs of this quality.

@prescottosegie Год назад

🔥🔥🔥🔥 my favorite gym equipment i got the rouge fitness ez curl bar it very helpful to me when I workout at home 🏡 good review coop 💪🏾😎 keep up the good work

@codekeeper32 Год назад

I went with the Rogue rackable curl bar. Holds weight don’t break.

@user-ib9zv8cb5e Год назад

I recently added the Synergee super curl bar to my gym. It’s got deeper bends than their (and probably most other) ez curl bars. The inner grip is basically neutral which is great for tricep movements like French press, etc. got it for a good price too.

@ryanmiskin8925 16 дней назад

I’ve been looking at that one as well, since my current cheapo one is shaped the same with the middle grip essentially being a hammer curl.

@matthewarnold2802 Год назад

Criterion “Gaspari” curl bar - revolving handles. Bruce Pearson the inventor and holder of the patent is starting to make them again. QUALITY!

@DavidLee-cw6ci Год назад

Some other bars that are not strictly curl bars but allow for similar effects, i.e. rotation of wrist to allieve pain, are bars with rotating handles like the CUBB or Henchgripz. Might be worth covering in a future review.

@meisdetermined Год назад

Bells of Steel is a dark horse gaining ground fast. I feel they are becoming the budget Rogue working in their measurement ecosystem (49” and true 3x3 inch)

@Mikestuh Год назад

They just need to release their 3x3 1 inch rack and attachment system! I can't wait.

@meisdetermined Год назад

@@Mikestuh no doubt! The 3x3 with one inch holes is BY FAR the best system because it is a platform so many others use so it forces companies to have to come out with some really nice pieces or fall to the wayside. The consumer is the big winner. :)

@joecowan3719 Год назад

What about a full set dumbbell round-up? So many options these days in handles, shapes, spinning etc.

@TaterNate12 Год назад

I bought the titan bar because it was one of the cheaper options. Like you said, I get the same out of $80 vs $150. Came with rust out of the box. Little disappointed but it was going in the garage, so didn’t care too much.

@tomlyons7066 Год назад

Coop! You gotta try the Ivanko rackable curl bar. Kinda rare but amazing.

@isymfs Год назад

The best curling bar is the one that gets you back in the weight room day after day 😄

@toddpetzold5143 Год назад

I went back and forth on which Ez curl bar to purchase last year. I went back and forth with the BoS and Vulcan. Coop - why no love for Vulcan? I really like it. I got a clearance one for $129 shipped (minor nicks).

@McWhatevs Год назад

One of your best wrap-ups, didn't get too weighed down in minor annoyances.

@SouthsideChicago99 Год назад

Hi Coop like your channel and all the reviews can you do a review on the Rack Preacher Curls Options I would like your take on that. Thanks

@richardtorres9814 Год назад

Wright Curl bar is amazing with a knurling agreesive feel

@bigk2080 Год назад

I have the Bells of steel rackable curl bar, its black cerakote with titanium sleeves 🏋

@t_plauche Год назад

I have the Rep rackable curl bar. I love being able to set the bar on a rack. It is very convenient. I am a large guy, and the wide width of the rackable bar is nice. Large plates get in my way on the standard EZ curl bar.

@tonyallen3138 Год назад

Same, I have the Rep Matte Chrome Rackable curl bar, and it’s the best purchase I’ve made for my home gym.

@nickm.9029 Год назад

Would be cool to see a review on the iron master curl bar

@BleeDwojak Год назад

This couldn't have come at a better time. I was just about to pull the trigger on the Rogue curl bar. Still doing it, but now I have an affiliate link to use. Appreciate all you do!

@Peter-nx6oz Год назад

I have the Rogue Rackable curl bar and it's fantastic! You'll definitely enjoy it

@loveydovey4u Год назад

Do one on rackable curl bars, Coopie

@troydefond2307 Год назад

would have to disagree. curl bars are very subjective, since they all have different angles of curvature. that being said. my favorite bars : rackable- beels of steel rackable. non-rackable- vulcan curl bar.

@jesselopez4818 Год назад

The curl bar Coop keeps touching in the vid intrigued me the most because of the aggressive bends. He said it was $130 Bells of Steel. Disappointed to see that the $130 BOS bar isn’t the same as the example you had and has a less aggressive bend. Maybe you got an older model? I’d love to try that one for $130.

@idiotcommenter Год назад

My gym is in a shed in southeast Louisiana so I went with the Rogue rackable bar in cerakote. I have an Ohio bar in e-coat… I think I like cerakote more, just feels better. Would have gone with Rep but Coop mentioned it was rusting in his original review.

@brentd106 Год назад

Right there with you on the shed in southeast Louisiana! Cerakote or stainless everything! Damn humidity lol

@mattl7976 Год назад

Coop I love your channel and seeing the growth over the years is awesome but the fact that fringe sport equipment is never on your lists drives me nuts especially for this one I think they make a very good curl bar ! Comparable to bells for sure maybe even a in between closer to rogue

@hitleractually8180 Год назад

They don't pay him.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 i got the rouge fitness ez curl bar it very helpful to me when I workout at home 🏡

@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 7 месяцев назад

It looks like a significant number of bars on Amazon are made based on the same design, so it comes down to which brand uses slightly better bearings/assembly processes to some degree. Even some of the brands not on Amazon marketed as "high end" weight equipment are most likely made in some of the same factories, whether assembled in the US or not.

I'm happy with my Rogue boneyard EZ Curl Bar. Bends are perfect places for me and got a discount.

@StopTryingSoHard Год назад

I've used a few rackable curl bars and I simply cannot get into them. Best EZ for me is the Ivanko E-Z, it's basically perfect, I have the old raw steel version which sadly they no longer sell, but they have a stainless which is usually similar for feel. (But it's $710 .... expensive but also used 4 days a week for a decade and going.)

@MetalsForBrunch Год назад

im going to wait for rogues stainless rackable curl bar in the future. I have the rep stainless curl bar and the knurl is very passive. At 5:30 i see oxidation on your rep curl bar coop lol

@davidcooper2516 2 месяца назад

Appreciate the review Coop! I knew I wanted a rackable bar, so that narrowed my choices. Since I'm the type of guy who tends to buy (kinda) low, only to upgrade soon after, on your recommendation I decided to skip to the head of the line and ordered the REP bar. I liked that it weighs 35# instead of 32#, and the grip diameter is slightly greater also. So yeah, more money upfront, compared to the Titan, but not prohibitive for a lifetime piece of equipment, right? THANKS!

@andrsco Год назад

@GregPivo87 Год назад

@seaneppel7465 Год назад

You might have an older version of the Bells of Steel EZ Curl bar? I bought the Bells of Steel EZ curl bar about 2 months ago, and it matches the link in the descrption - it's not the same as the bar shown in the video. The current model (?) has less aggressive bends, and it's not fully knurled. It's a nice bar, but my one criticism is that the knurling does not extend far enough into the narrow grip section.

@justinbarr1281 Год назад

I’ve had the Rogue one since it first came out like 7-8 years ago. It’s nice, but I REALLY want the Eleiko one. Just can’t justify spending $500 on it.

@andrewstearns9276 Год назад

I wish Rogue’s knurling was more aggressive but other than that it has been a great bar for me the last 2 years.

@hitleractually8180 Год назад

Gotta get the bare steel version when they pop up in the boneyard. Not having one of the bullshit coatings on the shaft makes the knurl 'chef's kiss.'

@porkrindrob Год назад

I would buy the gungnir bar if it had more knurling. For the price I want all the knurls. Have a rogue boneyard curl bar and can’t go back to partial knurling.

@Estuardo305 Год назад

I am Confused on your Budget pick you show the EZ-bar from Bells of Steels as the Bar having a non standard bend with knurling through out the bar, however on the website and link, it shows an EZ-curl bar with standard bends and knurling on key spots. Could it be that you have an older version?
