Considering buying one, what are the benefits over a normal barbell?

    Puts less stress on the wrists, other than that not much.

    the wrists want to internally rotate when you get to the top of the curl movement with a straight barbell which can give some people wrist pain. Or you just take a wider grip.

    I think I might get one, more to do skullcrushers than biceps. Ive it's puts more focus on the biceps which can't be a bad thing.

    Thanks mate

    It's not a bad buy. They're usually pretty cheap. Only benefit I've really noticed is it's easier on my wrists and more comfortable to do skullcrushers.

    Also better for upright rows.

    Still not better than dumbbells, IMO.

    I will treat myself, then I can do both dumbells and the ez bar. Bring on the gains!
