No significant difference I would think. The ez-curl bar might help you w/ your form...I have one but I never use it because it isnt olympic sized and I dont have enough little weights to lift alot.

I like using the olympic lifting bar for bb curls. Lifting the bar alone is like 45 pounds. I find it easier w/ the olympic bar myself. Try and see what one you like better. I never liked the ez curl bar.

For me the EZ-curl bar places a different emphasis on your forearms and hits the biceps at a slightly different angle. I like the EZ bar when doing triceps extensions. I feel like I have a better grip. This is particularly important when doing nosebreakers. I found out why they are called that the hard way!
