Ok so to day i went up to get some weights and i get a curl bar seen here



Ok well look on the ends as you can see are 1 stoper on each end. But the problem is THERE IS ONLY ONE AND EACH END. The weights they sell wil go right off on to your hands cuse there is ONLY ONE STOPER. So i spend 20$ on shit that i ended up duct tapeing so it wouldnt distory my hands.

They're called weight clips. Have you ever worked out in your life?

You can get weights and clips for that kind of bar. The things that are already on there are to keep the weights from sliding onto you hands.

That's as far as I can tell though. Remember, I'm only working with a picture.

depnding on where you put them, they only gave you the 2 things (one on each side) and they wernt selling the clips for that bar sepreatly now that i think of it. So it either slid on to your hands or on the ground.

Return the bar and get one with the regular ends. They're a lot fatter and the weights for them are anywhere.

To small *for normal weight clips, only the ones that came with it would fit.

Granted the weight clips are there to stop weights from falling off and hitting the ground you should be using a weight that you can CONTROL so the weight doesn't slide...I lift weights a lot and rarely use clips because I use a reasonable weight which I can control so it doesn't slide off the edge...You won't gain much muscle by cheating or seeing how much weight you can lift each time...

Yea... ok lifting with out clips isnt that smart inless you are lifting alone i guess. You dont allways have your arms go up at the same time, like in bench. And you WANT to struggle with the weights you are doing doing the wieght with easy dosent help at all. I have been lifting allmost eveyday for 3 months now with my firend who has lifted sence he was freshmen 4 years. So i do know what im doing, not as much as some people but im not toatly obilvous to what im doing.

that ez-curl bar is meant for weights designed for it, with a smaller hole. They were probably available for sale in the store nearby. That ez-curl bar does not like it will fit the size weight you will see in a real gym.
