REP’s Rackable Curl Bar (also known as an EZ curl bar) features a longer shaft of 74” (6’2”), or 51” (4’3”) between sleeves. This makes it rackable in standard-width power racks. That means it’s easier to load the bar with plates, and it is more comfortable to get into position for lifts. The Rackable Curl Bar also has a bend in the shaft of the curl bar, allowing for a semi-supinated grip to limit the stress on the wrists and elbows, reducing common injury risk. The bar itself weighs 35 lbs.
This bar has hybrid sleeves, with one needle bearing and one bushing per sleeve, providing the perfect combination of spin and stability. The Curl Bar has the same medium-depth knurling as REP’s best-selling, mixed-use barbells, for great grip without tearing up your hands. The Curl Bar is available in a hard chrome finish with a matte appearance, which is rust-resistant and more durable than regular chrome. The bar is also available in a full, stainless-steel option, which is a higher grade of metal and even more resistant to rust.

REP’s barbells are designed to work with any standard plates with 2” diameter center holes.
Both bushing and bearing sleeves produce sufficient sleeve rotation, but ball or needle bearings allow for a faster, smoother, quieter spin and have a more reliable turnover for maximum loads, which is a better fit for Olympic-style lifts. By comparison, a bushing sleeve is more efficient for powerlifting movements, which are slower and more strength focused.
Stainless steel is a higher grade of metal. It is more resistant to rust than chrome or zinc-finish barbells and more aesthetically pleasing.
You’ll want to remove dirt or chalk from the knurling with a brush and oil on a microfiber cloth. You also should occasionally remove the external sleeve to oil and fully clean it. Check out the REP Barbell Maintenance Video in the Video Gallery section above for more information.
