Some scrub questions for a beginning powerlifter

1. What the fuck is the point of this thing over a straight bar? I've noticed it's significantly more difficult to do overheads and a few other things with. Is that intentional and does it yield any tangible benefits?

2. When is the best time to do curls and bicep workouts? Am I fucking myself over by doing them alongside bench press? Should I focus on them on off days when I do no other lifts? I want to maximize bicep growth and feel like by doing them on the same days I bench, I'm losing out on some of the benefits due to diminishing gains.

1 ez curl bar, not an ohp bar you fucking retarded shit stain

2 do them when you want to, desu you might want to just have a separate day for just arms or do them every single day.

1. Depends on the exercise. Some people use cambered bars for curls since it's a more comfortable grip even though it doesn't activate the bicep as much as using a straight bar. Likewise the cambered is good for lying overhead tricep extensions/skull crushers and reverse curls over the straight bar.

2. Most people tend to pair back and biceps since pulling motions (pull-ups and the various rows) incorporate the bicep in one way or another, so it just makes sense to toss them in the same session. The similar logic applies for chest and tris (narrow grip bench, dips, push-downs, etc.)

Only time I use the mid-dized bar is for overhead/military. Should I stick with it or use straight? Gym I tend to go to is small and crowded, and they have cambered bars I can load weights onto. Easier for access and moving up 5 lbs than hunting around for their preset weight ones.
