So Im doin curls during my arm work out and noticed that my wrists sometime hurt, I started to look online at ez curl bars when a light bulb turned on in my head (a dim one) hey! I could make that! so here goes. cut up a bunch of 1" round tubing at 30 degree angles. I'll post more pics as I go
Finished it off tonight, works great, wont be able to use it for about a week being I just did arms yesterday.
And here I was thinking Red Necks were only down here where I am.
Good job, by the way, it's just I'd think someone would pick up something cheap that was already made before going through all that trouble.Quote:

All my weight plates are scratched, rusty and dirty, one of my bars is a 4 foot long 3/4 pipe and still has the threads on the ends. My house is over 100 years old,the basement is a dungeon.Quote:

I would use mostly dumbells as well. I only used the ez bar for reverse curls to build up the top of my forearm.
The thing I don't like about a bar it always seams your stronger arm takes more of the weight.
I use Dumbbells probably 75% of the time, the ezcurl is only one exercise for Bi's I also do seated Dumbbell curls along with Dumbbells concentration curls, I never use a bar for any pressing movements. Rotators cant take it any more.
You only do dumbell bench press, too?Quote:

That is correct, Dumbbell flat bench, Dumbbell inclines, Dumbbell shoulder presses. The only thing Im missing is the ability to barbell bench press more weight. It used to be a big deal back in my powerlifting days but. them days is long gone.Quote:

I use Dumbbells so much that I ended up investing in a set of PowerBlocks. I recommend them to anyone looking for adjustable Dumbbells.
