So, what are some other advantages and benefits of the EZ curl bar? Let's take a look!
 

What are the differences between EZ curl bar and straight bars?

Other than its shape, an EZ curl bar is shorter than a straight bar and is usually employed for training biceps, triceps, and other small muscle groups of the upper body. The straight bar, on the other hand, is suitable for pectoral muscles (bench press), back muscles (barbell bent-over row or deadlift), and thighs (squat). In terms of structure design, EZ curl bars are ergonomic: The inclined design creates ergonomic alignment from the upper arms, elbows, forearms, and wrists to the hands when gripping. This not only prevents sports injuries, but also allows performing exercises correctly.
