My favorite curl bar is the "Farmer's Bar" from Hudson Steel. It's one of the ball bearing bars and comes in at a price just a bit under the bar by Rogue that you like. I like the fact that I can do Arnold presses on it as well as traditional curls at many angles.
My "favorite" curl bar is the only one I own, which is a shitty Signature Fitness off Amazon that was only $25. It's only 18lbs, but it gets the job done for now. Too many other upgrades have priority on my wallet at the moment (shed, rack, barbell, plates).
Rep Rackable stainless curl bar is what I own and my favorite so far. Used with Rogue Aluminum collars. Rep Rackable Stainless $299 35lb bar…Rogue Collars $70.
Glad I stuck around to the end of the video. I'm approaching the point of taking my home gym to the next level. I was deeply considering the Gugnir All-Rounder and pairing it with a Rogue Ohio Power Bar for my two barbells. Depending on how it goes, a Gugnir Power Bar might fulfill all of my needs in a single bar (I'll probably still end up with more bars anyways).
What did you end up choosing? The gugnir power bar? I am starting a home gym but leaning towards the cheap but well reviewed cap barbell at only $60. Why not choose that?
I would be REALLY interested in a ‘best curl bar for each category” type video. I would be for an upper body specialty bar video too, but my home gym is in its infancy. I’ll be spending that money later on👍 Any idea when you might review the new REP power bar?
Rep's DBD video is ready to go! It'll be within the next 3 weeks. It was out of stock so I delayed it and then I was working on some big things so I'm not sure what's coming out when but you'll know the second that big video hits 😏
Gungnir of Norway make some truly beautiful products. They are wonderful people too. I have had the opportunity to work alongside these guys and use the Dumblers in programming offerings. They truly are the best product i have used.
Great video. I love my rogue cerakote curl bar and this bar makes it look like I under paid it for it :). But you make a good point, the curling could be a tad sharper.
Love everything about the bar but the price. Somebody needs a knock off version around $100. I like the sleeves look, and, the curl areas mostly. just for the unique look. Id feel comfortable at a $250 price point out the door (with taxes and shipping incl). I can justify that in my head with some convincing. Top tier barbells are $300 so for me to pay 600, or. even 300 for a curl bar is bananas. To me a curl bar is a curl bar. Maybe they'll run a flash sale or something.
My ez curl bar cost £50,and has been out in the garden,and in all weather conditions.and it still does the job as good as any of the bars you’ve shown to the viewers.good old rust is quite good for the grip lol
I wish they would hurry up with the stainless allrounder bar. I am not going to pay that much for a bar with a chrome coating. I love the knurl on their stainless dumbbells and the curl bar.
FYI Gugnir seems to have taken your criticism to heart and quietly updated their curl bar to be knurled contagiously nearly end to end, similar to the rogue.
It's like a nice car, a nice TV, the list goes on. I can still get to work with a beater, I can still watch my favorite team on a junky old tv but this is a better, nicer bar. IDC how people spend their money as long as they're happy.
I haven't used Uesaka's and it's hard to derive much from their listing so I won't be arrogant enough to say it's better than that. Eleiko though would get the same treatment as the Gungnir curler V1 from me. If it's not fully knurled for that price then it's not for me. They make some great stuff (even if they've had QC and recall issues lately) but when your price is that high it's gotta be perfect IMO.
I bought a sweet curl bar at Walmart for 30 buckaroos. It kicks asshole. I put weight on it then curl and my biceps be popping. Walmart rules, what other place can you roll out of bed and then decide Time To Shop! And without changing proceed to shop?
💪💪 guns a blazing.. I ended up buying Fringe's rackable Midas Revenge EZ curl bar. It's a nice bar. But, the knurling doesn't go all the way. Which is my only complaint. That's too much for me to spend on an EZ curl bar.
Did you hear about the Kensui Fitness "Kyoto" Curl bar? I'd really love a review of that bar, it seems to be more versatile than others. Still, I'd love one of the Rogue's, cerakoted especially. Is it worth - and durable - to be my first curl bar purchase? Or it has more sense "waste" 90 euros into something low-end, with no complete knurling, shallow bending and upgrade later? Thank you for your amazing content, I'm looking for one of your merch T-shirts for sure ;D
I have the exact same shirt too funny, long live Chuck Norris and Chun Kuk Do! Perfection has its price. Would love to audition the curl bar someday, it seems pretty amazing. If I didn’t already have a stable of bars I would definitely be willing to dig deep and buy this bar, along with their Dumblers and Olympic Bar.
I'm very interested in a rackable curl bar, mainly because all of my plates are bumpers, and trying to load a bar with bumpers can be a huge pita. I had purchased the kensui rackable on a whim, but I've already asked to refund the order and will wait for reviews on that. Thinking about going with the BOS industrial rackable, but i've yet to pull the trigger, plus they are always out of stock.
Norwegian here, and really wanting ti support something as rare as Norwegian manufacturing, but it really bothers me that they didnt make a rackable version..
I want a new curl bar, I am still using a cheap 1 inch plate hole bar. But it does the trick. I only have a few Olympic weights so it would only make sense to upgrade if I had a better selection of weights.... it's a first world problem as they say.
@@GlucksGym I don't think they use a quality cerakote as my bar has some bare patterns in the knurl. I got it on sale last year and I just assumed it was a scratch and dent.
Gungnir could make plates where they fit perfectly on these bars so that the groves make it tighter. I wonder if they're planning to make some in the future.
REP stainless steel rackable here.... I would sell it in a heartbeat if I could get a full knurling stainless-steel rackable. I just can't see myself going back to a short curlbar ever again.
Yeah, it's a shame Rep cheaped out on the knurling. Based on comments I've read, it's cost them a lot of sales. I'm fairly confident that they'll come out with a ver 2 but I doubt I'll be patient enough to wait for it. My second choice is Rogues cerokote rackable. Not ideal either but the near full knurling wins out imo.
hey gluck, i am getting into working out at home and i am trying to understand what the big difference is with bars? its a metal stick used to push metal up and down. why spend 200$ and not get the 75$ one? i dont get it. also, whats with them having bearings in the ends now? back in my day i dont think this was a thing.
Decent bars probably start at or above the $200 level atm. There's cheaper, we own some, but the quality falls off fast. At around 350ish you're well intro the next tier then 500 you get towards higher end home gym stuff blah blah blah. Basically as price goes up a7 does material and build quality. Better tensile strengths and material properties, better finishes, higher quality manufacturing and machining, tighter tolerances, and the list goes on. After a certain point personal preferences will outweigh the quality gains.
Bro I've been eyeing the gopher curl bar for months now cause it's the one used in competition but $200 for a curl bar seems really expensive. How do you justify such an expensive buy for something that's not gonna be used all that much? You know, if it wasn't part of your job 😅
I bought the Rogue curl bar for over $200 and I justified it by putting aside $10 each paycheck until I had enough. At that point I figured I had taken that long and still wanted it so it was worth it. Also I really like curls 😂 TBH I couldn't justify 90% of the things I review if it wasn't my job. Lucky for you the Gungnir curl bar should make your Gopher look much easier to purchase
I'm not sure they could manufacture to these tolerances and I'm hoping they're turning a new leaf of collaboration vs stealing but maybe I'm ahead of myself
Hey Gluck, I need a leg extension/hamstring curl machine. I've looked at all of them, at least all of them I'm aware of and I want an old school type that loads the weights on both sides of your feet. I don't like the kind that loads the weight on top of your feet with one horn and I hate the kind that loads the weight all one side (Titan newest one). I'm looking at the one from Deltech. Please give me your opinion on it. Thnkx Man
Unfortunately I haven't tried that one. I know there's a lot of reviews on Amazon but it's hard to know if people have tried other things to compare it to. I'll have to look into this one more.
I see some people love their rackable curl bar but I was brought up on a regular one and I guess that's why I could never use a rackable curl bar. I never get why anybody would need to rack their curl bar but I always say, " to each his/her own". I think it's how we are brought up and taught. I realize this new bar is not rackable so my comment does not apply to the video but I have always wondered about the above question. Yeah this Gungnir curl bar is great and if Gluck says it's the best well then as far as I'm concerned it is the best but let's be honest how many people are paying around $650 to their door for a curl bar. People who do that just get the best of everything and probably no nothing about lifting weights or fitness with some exceptions of course. Gluck gives a Great detailed video just as he always does but I'm never gonna own anything Gungnir nor are most of the people watching this video because they are priced extremely too high that is why I'm more interested in my previous question about curl bars. Please Gluck let me know why people would prefer a rackable curl bar instead of a standard curl bar that is not rackable? Thnkx Man
I don't really like rackable curl bars so I might be the wrong person to ask. The idea behind a rackable cur bar is it's easier to set up since you can load the plates on the rack. I've always thought since you're not loading a curl bar with massive weight it wasn't a big deal and I don't like how wide rackable curl bars are. It makes them a little more awkward to use and move around your space with. If you like the rackability (I'm sure that's not a word) then go for it but I think I'm more like you. I have used non rackable curl bars for many many years so it's just been ingrained into me that I don't need it and since I'm already used to the old ways it's like teaching an old dog new tricks.
@@GlucksGym 100% with you on this I think companies came out with rackable curl bars to sell lifters another gym item. I echo everything you said, Thnkx Man
Regular curl bars are better than rackable curl bars because the weight distribution is closer to your body. With the weight closer to your arms you're able to feel more intensity in your biceps rather than more on the stability muscles with a rackable curl bar to balance the weight further away from your body. You can still use a regular curl bar to rack onto your j cups with the sleeves of the curl bar.
Actually, the BEST bar is the one with the best bends for you. The Bells of Steel was trash because it's made for very narrow shoulder people like women. Please compare bends for best for wide shoulder people. Rogue is a little too narrow for me.
Thanks for the video gungnir can eliminate the plate slop by adopting a similar design as eleikos weightlifting power lock bar... now I'm going to use the word collar twice (1. Collar of the barbell where the bearings/bushings are and the largest diameter part of the sleeve where the first loaded plate touches 2. Collar that is typically removable that locks on the plates in) that russian inspired barbell has groves on the sleeve and the special collars (#2) stop on those groves but also spins like a nut to eliminate plot slop... if gungnir were to modify the barbell collar (#1 thisckest part of the barbell sleeve) to spin like a nut and extend outward toward the end caps it would eliminate any plate slop and lock them in place. Would work with every plate. I'm here for a consulting fee if anyone wants to pay me. Would obviously increase cost for sure and its already $ but that would take care of a major criticism.
My eleiko prolock weightlifting doesn't... If I didn't have the bar I likely wouldn't have thought of it..m this would be an additional feature so the worst case scenario is that mechanism would eliminate slop fails and the slop would reappears. If anything for me it's difficult to sometimes unscrew that barbell so I can hit the button to remove if from the groove because it's too tight .. I think rogue also has a barbell like that too but this would take a feature from the specialty collars and put it on the sleeve instead
Ignore him. He's a troll and looking for attention. I suppose they could modify the design but like anything else they'd have to weigh the pros and cons. This works very well as the collars don't seem to ever come out of place but the slop can be there. I'm used to collars moving some especially during deadlift but it's become a norm for me throughout the years that I don't notice it. I guess it depends on Gungnir's goal here and since they're pretty heavily invested I feel like they're happy with where is at. Regardless it's a well thought out comment on your part and it makes me think.

I echo everything you said, Thnkx Man
Regular curl bars are better than rackable curl bars because the weight distribution is closer to your body. With the weight closer to your arms you're able to feel more intensity in your biceps rather than more on the stability muscles with a rackable curl bar to balance the weight further away from your body. You can still use a regular curl bar to rack onto your j cups with the sleeves of the curl bar.

At least someone is gonna live the dream

Those bends 😍😍
That has got to suck for those that got the v1
I almost made a comment about people who recommended V1, seems like we all should've mentioned it needed full knurling for the price
The best tan is a farmer’s tan 😂
It's the only tan I can manage
Looking swole bud! 💪
I like this guy
Very good review. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
No rackable no care
Actually, the BEST bar is the one with the best bends for you. The Bells of Steel was trash because it's made for very narrow shoulder people like women. Please compare bends for best for wide shoulder people. Rogue is a little too narrow for me.
Thanks for the video gungnir can eliminate the plate slop by adopting a similar design as eleikos weightlifting power lock bar... now I'm going to use the word collar twice (1. Collar of the barbell where the bearings/bushings are and the largest diameter part of the sleeve where the first loaded plate touches 2. Collar that is typically removable that locks on the plates in) that russian inspired barbell has groves on the sleeve and the special collars (#2) stop on those groves but also spins like a nut to eliminate plot slop... if gungnir were to modify the barbell collar (#1 thisckest part of the barbell sleeve) to spin like a nut and extend outward toward the end caps it would eliminate any plate slop and lock them in place. Would work with every plate. I'm here for a consulting fee if anyone wants to pay me. Would obviously increase cost for sure and its already $ but that would take care of a major criticism.
I have some bars/dumbbells that use a spinning nut to lock in place and those often unspin during a set and become loose
My eleiko prolock weightlifting doesn't... If I didn't have the bar I likely wouldn't have thought of it..m this would be an additional feature so the worst case scenario is that mechanism would eliminate slop fails and the slop would reappears. If anything for me it's difficult to sometimes unscrew that barbell so I can hit the button to remove if from the groove because it's too tight .. I think rogue also has a barbell like that too but this would take a feature from the specialty collars and put it on the sleeve instead
Rodolfo never buys anything. Ever.
@@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472 can you explain your last comment about me please?
Ignore him. He's a troll and looking for attention.
I suppose they could modify the design but like anything else they'd have to weigh the pros and cons. This works very well as the collars don't seem to ever come out of place but the slop can be there. I'm used to collars moving some especially during deadlift but it's become a norm for me throughout the years that I don't notice it. I guess it depends on Gungnir's goal here and since they're pretty heavily invested I feel like they're happy with where is at. Regardless it's a well thought out comment on your part and it makes me think.
First?
Third. You've gotten slow in your old age.
