ExtreSpo 47'' EZ Curl Bar Weight Lifting Bar, for Hip Thrusts/ Squats/Lunges, 1-inch Weight Plates Curling Bar for Gym and Home, with 2 Star Collars (220lb Weight Capacity)

My research showed this was a good price and the bar had good/competitive reviews vs. higher priced curl bars. I was a "bit" concerned about the comments on lock retention (lock collars and weights turning/loosening). The bar and collars received were indeed sturdy and reflected quality craftmanship. True to the fairly high number of comments on the lock retention I had the same problem. Specifically as I was lifting the collar was backing off and weights were becoming loose. The collars come with inside rubber gaskets which is good but the issue is there is no way for the weights (I use cast iron plates) to grip on the inside contact point. For this I added two rubber gasket on the inside of the bar. The problem was solved. You can use/order any round 1" ID gasket but I specifically ordered from Amazon Joywayus item 6ZM-FER-71530 (10 for $8 in 3/2026). My pics show the gasket installed on one side.

I’m very pleased with the ExtreSpo 47" EZ Curl Bar. It’s sturdy and well-balanced, perfect for hip thrusts, squats and lunges. The grip feels comfortable and secure, and the 1-inch size fits standard weight plates easily. A solid, reliable bargreat for home workouts.

If I was to buy this in a store, it would be so much more money than what I paid for it and it’s a good product. I don’t think you can go wrong with this curl bar..

Great curl bar, very sturdy, good quality!

It's a weight bar. Arrived in good order, works as advertised.
