To each their own and depends on your training. I use a curl bar with my preacher pad and formally my bicep blaster which makes more sense then with dumbbells... I'd argue you need a curl bar well before you need a 3rd, 4th, 5th... 7' straight bar but I have nine of those.
Me too .. a curl bar mitigates wrist pain while curling heavy. Max times I only do 1 biceps curl exercise 6 sets till failure with the curl bar and it has gotten me 19 inch arms
@@deeeparkaYep. I'm getting older (67) and a cambered curl bar for curls and wrist wraps for benching do wonders for sore, arthritic wrists. Straight bar curls get sore.
Same here. I have used my curl bar maybe once since I got it in 2020. I use DBs for arm training. I even use them on the preacher curl station, they hurt my wrist less than the curl bar does.
I’ve got a bar from Black Widow that’s got 45° handles, while the middle is still just a straight bar. It works great for OHP, rows, and benching, but it also works great for curls and skull crushers.
Notification squad let’s go!! Got my ez bar from Canadian tire during Covid. Haven’t upgraded at all. What about bare steel? Texas bars? Care to try any new ones? DL bars, power bars, squat bars.. do they really make a huge difference? The whip on a DL bar REALLLLLLY necessary unless you’re a pro powerlifter? Tonight on unsolved mysteries.
It's true! If you reduce your equipment inventory to what you really use, you could be a lot richer. If I haven't touched it in the past year, it goes. (Just don't ever, ever ditch the pulley machine!)
hate to say I agree (bro police on the way) but dropping stand alone arm exercises and just doing more pressing and pulling actually made my arms grow (even when old. you're not old BTW). It makes sense, the bicep is about the size of a tennis ball, it gets hit on any pulling exercise, how much more work are you going to give it?

“You don’t need a curl bar” then points to 3k dumbbell set : “this is all you need” 🤣
Although not frequently used, I still think it’s essential to have an EZ curl bar to use on occasion for bis and tris.

I disagree. A curl bar is great for bicep and tricep exercises

What kind of barbell hanger is that on your rack ?
My bar is just standing. I don't know why but i dont feel better pump on curls and better feel in other exercises.
A straight bar works better than an ez curl in the squat rack anyways.
Curl bar was definitely a dumb purchase
