  • The EZ Kurl Bar

    • The EZ Kurl Bar John GrimekThe EZ Kurl Bar

    The EZ-Kurl (or Curl) bar is a fairly common piece of equipment these days but there was a time when it wasn't quite so well-known.

    A man named Lewis G. Dymeck invented the Dymek Curling bar (better known as the "EZ Curl" bar) and was granted the patent for it on May 23, 1950.

    Dymeck invented this unusual bar to train the biceps in a different manner than with a straight bar.

    The idea caught on... Soon many strength equipment companies began selling their own version of this piece of equipment. That's John Grimek, of course, demonstrating the York Barbell version.
