EZ-curl bar
a short barbell with a shaft bent like a stretched-out 'w' typically used for performing curls with the hands turned inward more than they would be using a straight bar, putting less strain on the wrists. A typical olympic EZ-curl bar weighs around twenty pounds, though there's no "official" standard weight. Standard (takes plates with 1" holes) versions would be lighter, typically ten to fifteen pounds.
