Hex Dumbbells - USA Sports Review

Hex Dumbbells - USA SportsWhile I wanted a quality pair of weights, these are sold separately...at $54 a piece?!!! BOOOO!!!! Just dumb. Who only uses one dumbbell? Way overpriced for just one. Better priced if in pairs, but it's not. Would have done better to buy from a local sportig goods store.

Product Description
Our solid hex dumbbells are designed with the user in mind. We use ASTM-grade 20, the highest quality gray iron casting available. Our hex dumbbells are coated with a durable resin based paint and baked for one hour to assure a finish that is chip, abrasion and corrosion resistant.

Olympic Style EZ Curl Bar Review

Great Bar... but a straight barbell is better

The reason why these bars are so popular, and are found in so many gyms, is because it is easier to handle than a straight barbell that requires you to have your wrists turned 180 degrees, palms up, compared to the EZ Curl Bar's 135 degree, palms at a 45 degree angle, making it easier to life weights and certainly more comfortable.

Sadly comfort does not translate to better workout for bigger muscles. Science has proven that a straight barbell is better for bicep training than the EZ. In short, it is a better workout to have those wrists locked at 180 degree turns. Also you can do more types of workout with a straight bar than you can with an EZ curl bar. See bodybuilder.com or exrx.net, or get a good weights/bodybuilding book for information on exercises with a straight barbell versus the EZ. You will find that the straight bar offers lots of variations in the workout. The EZ does not.

Olympic Style Tricep Bar Review

This bar works very well on working the biceps.The handles are an ideal distance apart for either tricep work, or if you want to do hammer curls with it.However, if you are a larger individual you may want to go a different route for the hammer curls.This bar is also fairly light (20 lbs), so a novice can use it farely easily as well.
