1.2 m Olympic Curl Bar
Description
A 1.2 meter Olympic Curl Bar is a compact, specialty barbell designed for upper-body pulling and arm development, particularly targeting the biceps and forearms. Shorter than a standard Olympic bar, it features Olympic-sized sleeves (≈50 mm) to load heavy plates, making it ideal for home, garage, or commercial gym use where space and versatility matter.
Key Features
- Length: ~1.2 meters (≈ 4 ft) — shorter than a standard 2.2 m Olympic bar, suitable for smaller spaces and controlled movements.
- Olympic Sleeves: 50 mm diameter sleeves accept standard Olympic weight plates.
- Curved / Cambered Grip Sections: Angled hand positions reduce wrist strain and improve comfort.
- Knurled Grips: Enhanced traction for secure biceps-focused lifts.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Durable build for heavy loads.
- Balanced Design: Easier to maneuver for isolated arm exercises.
Common Uses
- Biceps Curls: Standing, seated, and preacher variations.
- Preacher Curls: Strict upper-arm isolation.
- Reverse Curls: Targets forearms and brachialis.
- Upright Rows / Shrugs: Accessory shoulder and trap work.
- Close-Grip Presses: Alternative pressing variation with comfort.
Benefits
- Compact Size: Fits small spaces and racks with shorter depths.
- Wrist Comfort: Angled grips reduce stress compared with straight bars.
- Olympic Weight Capacity: Allows progressive overload with heavier plates.
