Stubby, chubby, with irresistible curves
We took the fan favorite “El Gordito” Stubby Axle Bar and transformed it into an EZ Curl Bar! Introducing, La Gordita!
"La Gordita" sports our favorite matte black powder coat, giving it a sleek look with a grippy feel in your hands.
With the Axle Curl Bar, you get the best of both worlds, grip strength training and bicep training. It offers a more natural wrist position due to the curvature of how this barbell is made.
The EZ curl bar design features a bent shaft to reduce joint strain when performing curls and tricep skullcrushers. La Gordita features cambered grips at 135°, allowing for a semi-supinated grip to limit the stress on the wrists and elbows.
Since EZ curl bars are often a secondary “specialty” bar, we designed it to be as space efficient as possible. The bar has a total length of 55” with a loadable sleeve length of 9”, making it very functional yet easy to store.
How much weight can you fit on this thing?
With a 9” loadable sleeve, you can load up to two 45lb bumper plates on each side WITH room for a spring clip or five 45lb iron plates on each side WITH room for a spring clip.
Read: You can curl up to 200lbs with bumper plates or 470lbs with iron plates.
How much thicker is the shaft compared to a normal barbell?
A standard olympic barbell has a shaft diameter of 28mm, which is roughly 1.1". The Axle Curl bar has a shaft diameter of 2", making it almost double the "thickness" of a standard olympic bar.

ISOLATE THE BICEPS
The angled curves of the EZ curl bar allow for a more natural and comfortable hand positioning during bicep curls and other arm exercises. This ergonomic design reduces wrist and forearm strain while targeting the biceps more effectively. As a result, you can isolate and work your biceps more efficiently, potentially leading to better muscle development.
ENHANCED GRIP STRENGTH
The axle EZ curl bar has a thicker, cylindrical grip compared to a regular barbell. This thicker grip diameter challenges your grip strength more, helping to increase your forearm and hand strength over time. This can be especially beneficial for athletes and lifters looking to enhance their overall grip strength for various activities.
WRIST-FRIENDLY LIFTING MOTION
The angled grip of THE axle EZ curl bar promotes a more wrist-friendly and elbow-friendly lifting motion. This reduced joint strain can be particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced discomfort or pain while using a straight barbell for bicep and forearm exercises. It encourages proper form and minimizes the risk of overextending your wrists.
A standard olympic barbell has a shaft diameter of 28mm, which is roughly 1.1". The Axle Curl bar has a shaft diameter of 2", making it almost double the "thickness" of a standard olympic bar.
