ATX ^® offers first-class, tested, and proven equipment for professional use. The barbells exhibit extremely high tensile and compressive strength while maintaining elasticity. This allows the bars to be deformed up to a certain tension (elastic limit) and then elastically return to their original state without permanent deformation. The key to this is the optimal, high-quality alloy made of chromium, molybdenum, silicon, and manganese, among other elements. ATX ^® bars withstand even the most extreme conditions and thus meet the highest standards.

Tip

For a well-maintained SZ bar, we recommend treating it with the ATX care set and for a tidy gym, a barbell stand .

Training with an EZ bar

A curl bar , also called an EZ bar , is a variant of the barbell bar. The key difference lies in the shape. While the conventional barbell bar is straight, the curl bar is bent into an EZ shape. The EZ bar is often used for bicep training. The main functions of the biceps are to bend the arm and to rotate the wrist. Due to the shape of the EZ bar, the wrist is automatically slightly rotated when gripping. This allows you to use the advantages of a barbell bar over dumbbells, but still covers the function of curling, which is relatively important for bicep training. Furthermore, the rotated position allows you to better stimulate the muscle and minimizes the risk of injury during bicep training. The excessive outward rotation, which is necessary with a straight bar, often leads to injuries to the wrist and/or shoulder.

The EZ bar offers two different grip variations, depending on your needs. In addition to bicep curls, there are several other exercises that are better performed with an EZ bar than with a regular barbell. Forearm exercises, such as overhand grip curls, are particularly suitable. Another exercise is the standing row, which trains your biceps, back, and neck. For an intense muscle stimulus in the triceps, you can also perform excellent scull crushers.

SZ bar - tricep press

The SZ curl bar is also often used for triceps presses. Triceps presses with an SZ bar are an effective exercise for specifically training the triceps muscles. The exercise can be performed either standing or lying down on a weight bench. Grip the curl bar with a wide grip and ensure that your elbows are close to your body. The SZ bar is positioned slightly behind your head or above your head. Decide for yourself which starting position suits you best. Now push the SZ bar upwards. As you press upwards, the triceps muscle is tensed and stressed. Now slowly lower the SZ bar and return to the starting position. Repeat the exercise sequence as often as you like according to your training plan.

Pay attention to proper form and proper breathing! Increase the weight on the EZ bar slowly and carefully. A good sense of muscle tone and good muscle contraction lead to more growth than incorrect and heavy training.
