Does the length of the bars make it difficult to do curls?

No, not really. It does make you concentrate on form as the bars' length won't allow you to swing at the bottom. I highly recommend them!

A little bit yes, curls go better than i thought, i feel its a bit more difficult to do benchpress.... Overall its the best compromise between weight, cost and ergonomics...

Not for me when it comes to curls. They only make it awkward to do bench and incline bench presses until you have them filled up with weight. I like to heave them up from my knee when I lay back on the bench. It's hard to do that when there is a few inches of threaded rod sticking out.

No, they don't. The rubber pad is shorter - I mean, you can make it work if you force it but it will keep on falling off the curler. I thought they would fit myself based on the measurement they gave and that was why I bought the item. They're useless to me unless I switch to another brand and buy a smaller one.

Yeah, it probably would. Maybe loosen the curls a bit so they're not so tight.

The leg curls has an adapter to accommodate either 1" or 2". Olympic bar would be recommended but 1" would work. Spacing is wide though.

For the weights for the leg curls it is a 1" bar. As for the bench it probably doesn't matter as long as the bar is long enough. I bought a 2" bar but as long as the bar is wide enough a 1" would work. The bar I bought is 7' long and that is what I would reccomend.

It depends on how long it is and how tight you curl it. As for the thickness, it will just take you longer if you have to use smaller pieces. It gets extremely hot so their shouldn't be any problem with it actually curling.

Yes, if you supinate your wrist, you have to be very conscious of the handle length. They aren't impossible to use, but they are a bit cumbersome. For concentration curls, hammer curls, or preacher curls, they're fine.

No, unless you're less than about 60lbs. It is far too unstable. Even casting makes the screws connecting the bar to the elbow joints loosen and eventually fall out, leaving the holes stripped. Used in a rec gym, these bars lasted only about 6 months.

Yes its fine,just the size alone is too big for me. To reach the bar hurts my arms because its to far away. I am not short or small . 5`5 height female. Must be better for a man or taller woman.

Yes - and no. There are instructions to put the bands over your shoulders and lean forward. It kind of hurt the tops of my shoulders. I would think it should be part of your strengthening routine but not all.

Yes any length of hair. I have shoulder length curls. However, for me it was awkward to maneuver at first but I got the hang of it.

Yes. The problem I have is the elastic material isn't that elastic. I have in my opinion moderate size biceps and it cuts off my circulation after prolonged use. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can do whatever you want with it--I threw it out. I've been doing curls for about 50 years and never needed this device to help me. Also, with heavy weights (at my age I just do reps) the thin strap will dig into your neck. Once you wrap a towel around it, that should help. Don't let the picture fool you LOL.

I am not sure. I have never tried. It would require you to make a strap to get from the bottom pull to the bar. I have a torn biceps tendon right now and I can't even try it for you. Sorry.

Hi headwolf21, I've never tried it to curl personally, but it does give me a bit of a flip if I twist it when I get to the ends.Sorry, I hope that helps.DM

I did them last night with it. Reverse curls with an ezbar are easier than a straight bar but both work.

I should have asked that same question prior. :-( I use loops curlers (over 100) and it's pretty tight for me to get inside the hood.
