Olympic 1.2M Super Curl Barbell (10kg / 700lb) – EZ Curl Bar 5305
The Olympic 1.2M Super Curl Barbell (5305) is a compact EZ curl bar built for controlled arm training. Its angled grips change wrist and forearm position compared to a straight bar, which many lifters find more comfortable for high-rep curls and extension work.
This bar is best used as an accessory tool to add biceps and triceps volume with a consistent setup. It does not replace a standard Olympic barbell for your main compound lifts.

Q&A
Click a question to expand
Is an EZ curl bar better than a straight bar for arms?
Not “better” — just different. The angled grip can reduce wrist discomfort for many lifters and is useful for higher-volume curls and extensions. Straight bars remain excellent tools when tolerated.
Can beginners use this bar?
Yes. It’s easy to use for basic curls and triceps work. Start light, keep reps controlled, and avoid swinging or using momentum.
What exercises work best with this bar?
EZ curls, close-grip curls, reverse-grip curls, skull crushers (lying triceps extensions), and upright accessory variations where an angled grip improves comfort.
Does it fit standard Olympic plates?
Yes. This bar is designed for 50mm Olympic plates.
Is the 700lb rating for any type of use?
The rated load assumes controlled lifting and proper loading. Specialty bars are not intended to be dropped or abused. Use collars, load evenly, and store properly to protect sleeves and rotation components.
What should I watch for during use?
Keep the wrists stacked, avoid excessive bending at the wrist, and use a controlled tempo. If pain appears in the elbows or wrists, reduce load and review technique.
Summary
The Olympic 1.2M Super Curl Barbell (5305) is a compact, durable EZ curl bar built for consistent arm training. Used as an accessory tool — with controlled reps and sensible loading — it’s a practical way to accumulate biceps and triceps volume without relying on a straight-bar grip.
