    Super Curl Bar

    Does anyone use the super curling bar, what's your opinion on it?

    I like using it for Skulls, find it doesn't hurt my wrists as much as the EZ bar.
    I like the ez bar for regular curls and preacher better though.
    Cool

    They've got one of them at my gym to Freeman but I find the hands are to close together and it doesn't feel right.

    I'd like to try one of those trap bars.
    Cool

    Why do you guys prefer the regular EZ bar for curls (compared to the "super" curl bar) because of wrist comfort, the way it hits the biceps, because the EZ bar is what you're used to using or...??

    I'd rather use a regular EZ bar, and do hammer curls, because the grips look to close together, something that would bother my wrists with heavy weights.

    Hey bro, honestly it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it including me. It's an individual preferance thing here. You go try it and come back and tell us what you think about it. Looking at it but never trying it I like the fact that you can do straight bar curls, EZ curls and Hammer curls all with one bar but it all comes down to FEEL. A couple of the guys above tried it and didn't like it yet others may love it. You need to actually try it for yourself and make your own conclusions. Peace bro!!!

    Thanks everyone, I found one at a local sports store and got a feel for it. I can see how it would be good for tricep extensions, seems to have a better balance in the middle. But it does feel the same as the regular EZ bar for bicep curls. This is one equipment I don't need to add in my weight room, thanks again for everyone's opinion.

    Your welcome,, between you and I, I prefer the original EZ curl bar. I don't think I'd like a bar with all those twists and angles.
