Terribly uncomfortable February 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this item for two reasons: it had the dumbbell handles, and it was cheaper than almost all of the other similar sets. While I've used the dumbbell handles numerous times and like them, I've only used the curl bar once.
The principle behind the "ez-curl" bars is that they're more ergonomic and supposed to allow you to do a more natural grip on the bar. Of all of the curl bars I've used in the last 17 years, this is the only one that hurt just like I was using a regular straight bar. In fact, I'm contemplating cutting the ends off this thing and welding them onto my Harbinger "threaded super curl bar" which I love the feel of but unfortunately can't handle olympic plates.
I do not recommend this product to others.
Low price, low quality January 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well, heres the thing. When you think you're getting a steal because of such a low price, remember...You get what you pay for. That being said, the bar is not horrible, but it lacks quality. One end of the bar was actually pouring out some sort of dark colored dust that i can only assume is iron oxidation. The rest of the bar is chromed, however, when i turned the bar vertical you could clearly see the dust fall out and dissipate into the air. Anyway, the dumbell handles are alright. no complaints. However, if you're used to regular weights, these olympic dumbells will take some getting use to (particularly the length of them) All in all, you really cant beat the price for the 3 pieces. Trust me, i checked and looked. So, may not be the highest quality but it will certainly get the job done.
