Rank #3 in Best EZ Curl Bar 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Ratings Conflict
PhysKcal 120cm Olympic EZ Curl Bar for 2 Inch Plates
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The PhysKcal EZ curl bar is third in this guide. It is a 120 cm Olympic curl bar with a curved shaft, a 28 mm knurled grip and 50 mm sleeves for 2 inch weight plates, listed at £55.99 with 4.7 out of 5 from 333 ratings. The number that decides whether it suits you appears twice on its own page and the two do not agree. The first bullet says the bar holds up to 367kg/810lbs. The specification table further down the same page gives a maximum weight capacity of 300 kilograms — 661 lb. That is a 67 kg gap between two fields of one listing, and by the test this guide applies throughout, the honest figure is the lower one: 300 kg.
Two smaller mismatches are worth knowing before you buy. The product name offers 4 ft, 5 ft and 6 ft versions, while the specification table describes a single bar 120 cm long — close to 4 ft, so check the length on the page you order from. The finish is listed as black phosphate or black oxide, a bullet calls it a black "E-coat" finish, and one buyer describes gold trim. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — the price, the specification fields, the bullets and the buyer reviews. We have not handled or tested the bar.
