Frequently Asked Questions
What is an axle EZ curl bar?
An axle EZ curl bar combines the angled shape of a traditional EZ curl bar with the thick diameter of an axle bar. The angled grips help reduce wrist strain during curls and extensions, while the thicker 50mm grip increases the challenge for your hands, forearms and grip strength.
How is an axle EZ curl bar different from a traditional EZ curl bar?
The main difference is the grip diameter. A traditional EZ curl bar usually has a grip around 25-30mm, whereas this axle version has a full 50mm diameter grip. This makes every exercise more demanding for your grip and forearms while still allowing the wrist-friendly hand positions of an EZ bar.
What muscles does an axle EZ curl bar work?
The bar primarily targets the biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis, triceps (during extensions), forearms and grip muscles. Because of the thicker grip, your hands and forearms have to work much harder than with a regular curl bar.
Is a thick grip bar better for building grip strength?
If improving grip strength is one of your goals, a thick grip bar is an excellent choice. The larger diameter requires greater squeezing force throughout each repetition, helping strengthen your hands, wrists and forearms alongside your main lifts.
Which weight plates fit this axle EZ curl bar?
This bar is designed for Olympic 2" (50mm) weight plates. Standard 1" plates are not compatible.
Can beginners use an axle EZ curl bar?
Yes. Beginners can use it successfully, although they'll often need to reduce the weight compared to a regular EZ curl bar because the thicker grip makes each lift more challenging.
Why doesn't the bar have knurling?
The smooth powder-coated finish is intentional. Without knurling, your grip has to work even harder to control the bar, making it particularly effective for grip and forearm training.
Is an axle EZ curl bar easier on the wrists than a straight bar?
Yes. The angled grip positions help place your wrists in a more natural position during curls and extensions, which many lifters find more comfortable than using a straight bar.
What exercises can I do with an axle EZ curl bar?
Popular exercises include bicep curls, reverse curls, hammer-style curls, skull crushers, standing tricep extensions, upright rows, front raises and close-grip pressing variations.
Can I use standard Olympic collars?
Yes. As the sleeves are designed for Olympic 2" plates, Olympic collars are compatible. (Collars are sold separately.)
Will I need to lift less weight with an axle EZ curl bar?
Usually, yes. Most people find they need to reduce the weight initially because the thicker grip increases the difficulty, particularly for the forearms and hands.
