Olympic EZ curl, improved knurling over CAP, consistent finish. $55-80. Mid-range upgrade from CAP — better knurl quality without premium pricing. Bushing sleeves adequate for arm training loads.
The Body-Solid EZ Curl Bar slots in between the CAP budget tier and Rogue's premium build. The knurl is more consistent across the bar than the CAP — fewer flat spots, more uniform depth — and the chrome finish has tighter tolerances on the sleeves. Construction is still bushing rather than bearing, which is appropriate for the curl/extension load profile. For lifters who've used a CAP and felt the knurl inconsistencies bother them during high-rep sets, or who want a slightly better-finished bar without paying Rogue prices, Body-Solid is the right mid-step. The functional difference from the CAP is modest, but for buyers who notice finish details, it's worth the small upgrade.
Pros
- More consistent knurl than the CAP across the grip sections
- Tighter sleeve finish tolerances than budget bars
- Olympic 2-inch sleeves fit standard plates
- Bushing sleeves adequate for curl and extension loads
Cons
- Functional difference from CAP is modest for casual use
