Does the length of the bars make it difficult to do curls?

I don't think so. I have used my pair extensively, and the length of the bar has not caused any issues doing curls.

No just that the losen up a lot thAt is what my son said so u need to be careful

No not at all. For the price they're great. Not as convenient as fixed dumbells. I'm thinking of buying a second pair for convenience.

Yes, if you supinate your wrist, you have to be very conscious of the handle length. They aren't impossible to use, but they are a bit cumbersome. For concentration curls, hammer curls, or preacher curls, they're fine.

The grip area is about the same as other bars of this type. The size of the plates do make it awkward to get full range of motion, but all things considered, this is a good buy.

Yes, I would say the bars are too thick. I tried one of my spring loaded clothes pins on there and it was not a good fit. Sorry!

No, unless you're less than about 60lbs. It is far too unstable. Even casting makes the screws connecting the bar to the elbow joints loosen and eventually fall out, leaving the holes stripped. Used in a rec gym, these bars lasted only about 6 months.

Technically you can it for that the machine is high enough , I have never tried doing that only regular dips and weighted dips. But also you would have to rotate your hands since there is no direct straight bar like normal. I would advise being careful of you do try them

1.75". I do not recommend this type anyways. Try to find one that has a double are or a longer one to support your bar (the metal part that sticks out horizontal that you place your curl bar on). This set makes for a balancing act every time you need to add or take off weights. It's good for the money, but try to find a comparable setup, just a suggestion

Even the XL barrel is not very large considering that it tapers down to a smaller radius at the tip. there's no grips to keep your hair from slipping down so most of it will probably slide down to the smaller end of the barrel. I wasn't too impressed by the product. Way too much hassle for less than satisfactory curls. I would save up to purchase a product with a bigger barrel if you want loose curls. I can only imagine how tight the curls would come out for the regular sized one.

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't to Thick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

The pad itself is just fine and would be for bigger guys, the curling bar and mechanism is nowhere near big enough for full extension. The bench is good for the price but I just use the pad with a curl bar or Dumbbells.

Yes. The problem I have is the elastic material isn't that elastic. I have in my opinion moderate size biceps and it cuts off my circulation after prolonged use. I hope this helps.

The bar by itself is heavy. I have used 110lbs without any issue. The bar is solid and should take more weight. If i was going to perform cheat curls, I prefer a short straight bar. I bought the bar because I've torn my tendons and surgery is the only option. This bar allows me to continue to lift w/o straining my tendons.

Actually it does, but I've gotten over it. It almost forces you to do them properly. It's less of an issue if you are facing the pad, but that angle does interfere if you swing your body even a little, and I'm thin so consider that also.

Yes, you can do whatever you want with it--I threw it out. I've been doing curls for about 50 years and never needed this device to help me. Also, with heavy weights (at my age I just do reps) the thin strap will dig into your neck. Once you wrap a towel around it, that should help. Don't let the picture fool you LOL.

The bar does come out a fair amount, but there are handles that come out to enable push-ups. These might get in the way depending on what kind of movements you are going to do.

Not for me when it comes to curls. They only make it awkward to do bench and incline bench presses until you have them filled up with weight. I like to heave them up from my knee when I lay back on the bench. It's hard to do that when there is a few inches of threaded rod sticking out.

My hair is shoulder length. The time you keep the iron on your hair should determine how tight your curls are. If you don't want a tight curl, less time on the iron

Hi headwolf21, I've never tried it to curl personally, but it does give me a bit of a flip if I twist it when I get to the ends.Sorry, I hope that helps.DM
