The FringeSport Curl Barbell is specifically designed for bicep curls, tricep extensions, and other upper body strength exercises. This Olympic-style curl bar is crafted from durable, long-lasting steel with a black oxide coating. It measures 48” in length, has one set of rotating caster sleeves on each end, and weighs a total of 25 pounds. The bar includes four "raised" knurled areas of 5” in length, strategically placed around the bar to provide users with a comfortable grip while they train. The bar also includes two well-placed inner bushings in each profile, providing increased stability and rotating capabilities. The FringeSport Curl Barbell is suitable for use with Olympic-style plates of 2” diameter, but it is compatible with regular plates of 1” diameter as well. The bar features an optimized center of gravity, allowing athletes to lift heavier weights without losing balance or form. The self-centered positioning of the bar helps tighten the wrists and arms to increase performance, and the improved grip allows athletes to utilize their full range of motion. Whether you’re new to weightlifting or an experienced lifter, the FringeSport Curl Barbell is an excellent choice for those looking for a durable, high-quality bar with optimal performance and an affordable price.
