Overview

A 2-inch sleeve EZ curl bar with a black E-coat shaft and titanium-plated sleeves, built for bicep and tricep isolation work as well as general strength training. Sleeves are Olympic-sized to fit standard 2-inch weight plates.

Instead of the more common bushing-only sleeves, Lionscool pairs one ball bearing with one brass bushing per side, aimed at giving plates a smoother, quieter spin during curls and skull crushers. The bar carries a lifetime warranty and ships with a workout poster.

  • 2-inch Olympic sleeves
  • 87k PSI alloy steel shaft
  • Ball bearing plus brass bushing per sleeve
  • Lifetime warranty, includes workout poster

Who it's for

Suits home gym owners building out a strength training setup who already have Olympic (2-inch) plates and want a dedicated curl bar rather than using a straight bar for arm work. Not relevant to anyone using standard 1-inch plates, which won't fit these sleeves.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ball bearing plus bushing per sleeve for smoother spin
  • Titanium-plated sleeves resist corrosion
  • Lifetime warranty included
  • 1.2mm knurling across 15 inches for grip
Cons
  • Only fits 2-inch Olympic plates, not standard 1-inch
  • Listed weight capacity spans a wide 350 to 700 lbs range without clear context

Performance notes

Alloy steel rated at 87k PSI forms the shaft, finished in black E-coat, while the sleeves get a titanium plating for corrosion resistance. Each sleeve spins on one ball bearing plus one self-lubricating brass bushing, which the listing says gives faster, smoother rotation than a bushing-only design, useful for curls and skull crushers where plate spin affects wrist strain.
