Are there any good exercises with this bar or is it a meme?

Seems kinda long for a curling bar but 21's are GOAT

Preacher curls for biceps, overhead extensions (lying down) for triceps

I use it for most curling exercises as my wrist is fucked and I simply can't with a straight bar. I also love it for reverse grip curls.

So it's good for Biceps and Triceps work?
Better than a barbell or Dumbbell?

According to the Rippetoe, it's actually pretty worthless for curls but great for skullcrushers.

And I would advise not questioning the Rippetoe.

Rippetoe sucks major dick and creates failures like 90% of the powershitters on fit.

rippetoe's argument for why straight bar curls are better than ezbar curls is pretty solid

I use them for skullcrushers. I use dumbbell for curls, but I don't really get why it wouldn't work for those.

yeah i rather believe actual sports physicians than a fat ass who wrote a shitty book

Reverse curls and lying tricep extensions. Dumbbells are supposed to be better for bicep curls because supination/pronation of the wrist heavily involves the bicep.

what sports physicians suggest ex bar curls over barbell curls? do you realize that calling him fat doesn't invalidate the arguments he has for the positions he holds?

>>39811747
I used to do curls with these. At one point I switched to straight bar, because there were no EZs left and I could instantly bang out 3-4 more reps with the same weight (usually did 8-9 per set), so it's a useless meme.

Curls at at a moderate weight are great for the elbows, and thus DL, as long as you're already hitting both that and your pullups

Two oddball things I use and EZ-curl bar for are BTN presses and RDL. For RDL, the shorter length keeps my legs in and forces me to have a conventional foot stance rather than sumo, and that's closer to my squat stance. For BTN presses, when the bent portion of the bar touches my back, I'm near the safe bottom of my flexibility and again the shorter bar feels more stable
