| Set foot in the gym and you are met with row upon row of bulky exercise equipment that is just downright intimidating. While there may be a good place for all the universal gym equipment you find at your local health club, working out with good old resistance training – or weight training, still does an incredible job at getting you the body you want.
Enter the curl bar. For those who have performed bicep curls with a straight bar, the invention of the curl bar was like pennies from heaven. The curl bar is a mini barbell with bends in the middle of the bar for a more ergonomic feel. |

The idea is that these bends and better ergonomic fit lessen the strain on wrists and allow you to build muscle with less risk of wrist injury. Sure, you can use dumbbells for bicep curls, but there is also a place for the curl bar.
Features of the Apex Super Curl bar include:
• Solid 1” construction
• Rubber coated handles for a comfortable grip
• Two threaded collars
The Apex curl bar helps you tone your biceps and triceps by isolating and intensifying the burn to these areas. Just load the most appropriate plates for your fitness level and get to work. While this bar does feature 2 safety spin locks, you could also benefit from the use of spring collars such as those from Valeo. To use the curl bar to build tricep muscles, you will also benefit from a weight bench that has a flat position so you can perform “skullcrushers”.
