      I used bands and bodyweight and made gains even after 10+ years of lifting. Physique wise it made no difference however when I eventually went back to barbells and dumbbells I did lose some strength and athleticism. However it was fun gaining those things back and I made even more gains because my body was not use to those things anymore. So My advice is if you are just focused on physique is to not let yourself do one or the other two long but switch back and forth every 6 months or so.

    I like the straight bar. The ez takes pressure off the wrists but also the bicep. Straight bar fully supinates the hand therefore giving more (better) stimulation the the bicep. I used the ez for years with moderate results but recently changed back to the straight and I'm making good progress now.

    I bought the Super Curl not that long ago, and it's really made a big difference to my arm workout, I use all 3 grips with it along with close hammer type grip also being perfect for tricep extensions. I had a ez-bar for my cable machine which was "ok" - but nothing beats free weight and I just find straight bar painful on my wrists with heavier weight.

  • @borasumer
    @borasumer Рік тому +5

    The difference is the curl. Hence the name. So you do it with the straight bar, you curl your wrist/forearm which effectively one of the main functions of the bicep muscle. Straight bar is more tension on the muscle, ez bar is less tension on the main bicep mass, but also some on bicep brachii, as almost if you hammer curl. Straight is the best if you don't go super high and no issues on your wrist, if not go for ez bar, and add Dumbbell curls to your routine.

    @HPCthulhu2011 Рік тому +1

    It feels like the Super Curl works the forearms more than the other bars and actually if you combine the Super Curl with an arm blaster than that works perfect. The straight bar or EZ curl both hit the biceps but probably an EZ curl is more comfortable like he said.
