Is there any difference with a straight or ez curl bar. Is it still as effective as using a straight bar .? Is there much of a difference .?

Less torque on the wrists with the Z bar. You can also do close grip bench presses with your hands 3-4 inches apart with little strain on the wrists. I work up to 192 pounds for sets of 12 reps on this exercise. I use to do them at the gym on the straight Olympic bar with a 10 in grip with 205 lbs or so for 10 or more reps and would have severe wrist pains in not time. This exercise with the Z-Bar gives you a closer grip, more triceps and no strain on the wrists. I am 62 with a true 19 inch arm and have NEVER used any steroids in my life since I began in the summer of 1968.

I prefer the curled bar because that is what I was used to when I went to the gym. The straight bars I used to use to bench press but for curling I think these are better. I don't know as far as effectiveness if there is much of a difference.

Using the curl bar is better for curls as it does not twist your wrists to an unnatural position. The curl bar is made to place your hands in a correct non-stressed position which allows for better curls and reduces chance of injury.

I did not curl mine. But I did use a straight iron and that was okay. Do you use Aragon oil on them? The kind without alcohol? Just pure oil is best. I also used soft rollers in the past with other extensions because they are non-damaging and i set them over night. I use a tiny bit of water and the soft spongy rollers. They work best. I hope this helped.

Yes, however they are minor. First is the width of the bar. It's good to switch it up every now and again, but the curl bar is very thin. Second, the way you position your wrists will be different, thus working different muscles and different angles. So, it's totally up to you.

I think that would all depend on how tight you want the curl. This curling iron should be fine. You can always loosen the curl if it is too tight. This iron is very easy to use and the curls last all day.

I like this one too. It curls fabulously well. My hair usually curls and then straightens before I ever get to work, but with this one, it gets soooo hot that the curl holds...and you don't need very long hair to go around the barrel. HOwever....it is so hot you will need to set the temp down a little and not use it on hi, AND, like was said before, you CANNOT put it down on your scalp or touch it with your fingers, bc it is soooo hot.

Natalie, The curling iron is good on naturally curly hair but I wouldn't recommend trying to curl it after being straight because once you put heat to it especially to straighten its really hard to get it to curl much less stay, I find it to work best to wash your hair at night especially if her hair is naturally curly and let it air dry, and that morning spray your hair with hairspray and brush it out and then curl and it should make the curls you want and spray a little more after you curl it. Hope this helps, it works with my hair!!

I would say this depends on how tight you want the curls to be. I have a one inch barrel, but my hair is quite short. For longer hair, I would say a 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch would be better.

You can do wrist curls without the blocks getting in the way. Also, with something like tricep extensions, you just hold the out side of the block instead of by the inner handle. There have only been a couple of things that have been a little awkward for me, but I just adjust the way I'm holding them a little bit and they work just fine.

I just use it to smooth the frizziness. It does not deflate my waves in any way though. But it is not a curl setter to my knowledge. I think they sell another product that does that.

Hi Ryan ....I personally prefer the bowflex...ten years we stored one of our kids bowflex so I started using it.....three years later he took it...I really missed it as it toned muscles and strengthened them....since then we've had the total gym and have done crossfit.....went back to the bowflex and am very happy we did.....the combination of the power rods (210lbs) gives me all the resistance I need for muscle strength and toning .....I also like the idea that I can exercise on my time....I would recommend this for building muscles and toning...HAPPY EXERCISING!

I own the Powerblock Classic 50 set of dumbells. They work great with the curl bar.

This product is meant for naturally curly hair, it works to tame the frizz that comes with having curly hair. If you have any kind of wave it will help, but if your hair is very straight you may not get the results you're hoping for. I would search on YouTube for different ways to get great curls when you have straight hair, they have a ton of tips that are helpful for any type of hair style you may be looking for. Good luck!!

I have fine (thick enough, but fine) hair and I use it to turn under the ends of my hair. I don't want it to be straight so I don't use it for that purpose. Now, it doesn't really curl my hair. It smooths and slightly turns it under. I'm sorry that I can't answer the question as my hair is straight with a slight curl to it and I really never tried to straighten it.

using a curl bar on a bench press creates less stress on the wrist, especially if u r using a preacher curl bench

Well, I didn't notice anything significant in terms of eye lash lost. But I did notice that is barely works with my thin short lashes. It really wasn't the best eye lash curler and I didn't benefit from it. Hope this helps!
