Comments about Bowflex E-Z Curl Bar:

This was worth every penny! You have more option to where you want to grip from. Bench Press is much better with this. Middle hook can hurt if you hit your head with it :S. It includes a two chains for changing length, which do not have to be used. Has 2 included carabiners as well. very sturdy, strong, and a bit of weight to itself :D. Grip is not rough, and is perfect on the hands. 10/10 stars

Great for biceps , triceps and back.
For back you can do bent over barbell style rows , pull down , and seated pulley rows. A VERY versatile item.

This is a GREAT curlbar, adds lots of diversity to my workouts and the three rotating eyelets design is awesome.
I get the fact the chain is added for adjustability of height, and is likely very cost-effective for bowlfex to do it this way... But an adjustable Cable/Hook system would be much better in my opinion. Or even plastic coated chain would be better. When I first got the bar I only needed to use 3-4 links of each chain. (with the hooks provided with it. u do get four hooks, even tho you can get away with 2 since there are some already on the machine.) Now the problem i had is all the excess chain swung around hit me and/or the machine/bar and made a lot of noise. I work out early mornings and nights and my girl VERY much disliked hearing rattling chains from down the hall so early in the morning. (of course this is before she was up.)
Usually my bowflex is whisper quiet for all other excersices. Never distrubed her once. This connection setup did... and some of you guys know what its like when the gf wakes up irritated first thing.. ;o) Not good!
Anyway I went out to my local hardware store and did purchase some sets of the plastic coated safety chain cut to my lengths with only a few extra links for adjustment, and it did quiet things down mostly and no excess chain to worry abou. But again. A cable connection like the rest of the machine uses, that is adjustable, would probably be the best!
(Cmon bowlfex, you guys have engineered some great machines!!! But you seemed to have gotten lazy, or cheap, on connecting this curl bar!)

So with that being the only concern.. (which prolly isnt a concern for many of you) This curlbar is just great in every other respect! I would highly recommend the purchase! Great product, definitely NOT a cheap peice of junk, and a great price for it! No buyers remorse with this one guys!

I got this bar mainly to do preacher curls because the bar furnished on an Ultimate 2 was too flat and stressed my elbows and hands, but it also turns out to work great with lat pull downs.

The fact that it turns, is nicely padded making for a better grip, connects in multiple ways, is well balanced, has a great weight, and is extremely versatile is really much more than I expected.

However, considering its versatility, it would have helped if it came with instructions or suggestions for use and hook-ups.

Could not be happier with it.

You will surprised when you recieve this, the weight alone of the bar will give a novice a workout. Adding this to my workout has changed alot of things, less weight behind me being used so I dont have to upgrade the weights. Buy it you wont be sorry.
