Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I also use the bar for bicep curls?
Yes. The bar can be used for EZ-bar bicep curls if its shape is compatible with EZ-bar curls.
Do I need collars for the bar?
Yes. Collars are recommended to prevent the weight plates from slipping—aluminum Olympic lock collars or barbell collars are suitable.
How much weight can I load onto the bar?
For details on the maximum load capacity, please refer to the technical specifications.
Why use a triceps bar instead of dumbbells?
The sturdy, solid bar provides more resistance than dumbbells and more control than a cable machine—while keeping your wrists in a position that’s easy on the joints.
