Curl weight bar HMS Fitness GOL160 1200 mm 160 kg capacity

The HMS Fitness GOL160 Olympic curl weight bar is a compact 1200 mm bar designed for targeted arm workouts. Constructed from hardened chrome-plated steel, the bar combines durability with controlled flexibility and weighs approximately 8.3 kg. Its grip section diameter is 28 mm, while the sleeve diameter is 50 mm, providing compatibility with standard Olympic weight plates. The set includes two lock jaws with rubber inserts to secure plates and minimize movement during sets.

Advantages

The chrome-plated, hardened steel construction resists corrosion and maintains appearance over prolonged use while offering a reliable flex under load. The 28 mm grip with precise knurling ensures a secure and comfortable hold for bicep and tricep exercises. Two lock jaws with internal rubber parts provide stable plate retention and reduce rattling. Compact 1200 mm length makes the bar suitable for limited spaces without sacrificing load capacity, which is rated up to 160 kg.

Suitable for

• Bicep curls and preacher curl variations
• Tricep extensions and close-grip pressing
• Home gym training where space is limited
• Commercial gym use for isolating arm muscles

How to use

Load Olympic-standard plates onto each sleeve and secure them with the supplied lock jaws, ensuring the rubber inserts seat firmly against the plates. Use the bar for controlled curling motions, keeping wrists neutral and elbows stationary for biceps isolation, or perform close-grip triceps extensions by adjusting hand placement. Maintain proper lifting technique, control the eccentric and concentric phases, and avoid sudden jerks to preserve the bar’s finish and structural integrity.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bar and lock jaws before each session and tighten clamps as needed. Clean and dry the bar after use to prevent sweat-related corrosion despite chrome plating. Match plate sizes and distribution on both sleeves for balanced loading, and avoid exceeding the 160 kg maximum load to ensure safe operation and long service life.
