Stubby, chubby, with irresistible curves

We took the fan favorite “El Gordito” Stubby Axle Bar and transformed it into an EZ Curl Bar! Introducing, La Gordita!


"La Gordita" sports our favorite matte black powder coat, giving it a sleek look with a grippy feel in your hands.

With the Axle Curl Bar, you get the best of both worlds, grip strength training and bicep training. It offers a more natural wrist position due to the curvature of how this barbell is made.


The EZ curl bar design features a bent shaft to reduce joint strain when performing curls and tricep skullcrushers. La Gordita features cambered grips at 135°, allowing for a semi-supinated grip to limit the stress on the wrists and elbows.

Since EZ curl bars are often a secondary “specialty” bar, we designed it to be as space efficient as possible. The bar has a total length of 55” with a loadable sleeve length of 9”, making it very functional yet easy to store.


How much weight can you fit on this thing?

With a 9” loadable sleeve, you can load up to two 45lb bumper plates on each side WITH room for a spring clip or five 45lb iron plates on each side WITH room for a spring clip.


Read: You can curl up to 200lbs with bumper plates or 470lbs with iron plates.

How much thicker is the shaft compared to a normal barbell?

A standard olympic barbell has a shaft diameter of 28mm, which is roughly 1.1". The Axle Curl bar has a shaft diameter of 2", making it almost double the "thickness" of a standard olympic bar.

ISOLATE THE BICEPS

The angled curves of the EZ curl bar allow for a more natural and comfortable hand positioning during bicep curls and other arm exercises. This ergonomic design reduces wrist and forearm strain while targeting the biceps more effectively. As a result, you can isolate and work your biceps more efficiently, potentially leading to better muscle development.

ENHANCED GRIP STRENGTH

The axle EZ curl bar has a thicker, cylindrical grip compared to a regular barbell. This thicker grip diameter challenges your grip strength more, helping to increase your forearm and hand strength over time. This can be especially beneficial for athletes and lifters looking to enhance their overall grip strength for various activities.

WRIST-FRIENDLY LIFTING MOTION

The angled grip of THE axle EZ curl bar promotes a more wrist-friendly and elbow-friendly lifting motion. This reduced joint strain can be particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced discomfort or pain while using a straight barbell for bicep and forearm exercises. It encourages proper form and minimizes the risk of overextending your wrists.

A standard olympic barbell has a shaft diameter of 28mm, which is roughly 1.1". The Axle Curl bar has a shaft diameter of 2", making it almost double the "thickness" of a standard olympic bar. 

Yes! La Gordita has a 1 year warranty against manufacture defects.

My hands love a thick bar!

I really enjoy using this curl bar. For the price it really is in a league of its own. The welds on the tubing are nicely done and the black coating is grippy but not too much. The 2” thick bar is much more comfortable in my hands than the small 1” or 3/4 steel curl bars found at most gyms.

La Gordita

This bar is instantly effective. The roundness forces you to grip the bar tight. Creating a high intensity workout every set.

Best Barbell for Curls!

Fringe has done it with this bar - the powder coat provides a great grip (no need for knurling), the end caps are a nice touch and include the bar’s weight, the fat grip is exactly what I didn’t realize I was missing from barbell curls - I can feel my forearms working, which is great. The welds are nice, too. I would highly recommend this!

Simple but effective!

As an axle bar. This is fairly standard in that it has fixed sleeves and a 2" diameter. For the EZ curl aspect. The angles seem just right and all in all it is comfortable to hold and use. It is a no frills piece of equipment that gets the job done for a very reasonable price. The length and weight is slightly more than other similar bars but i dont see that as a negative, although there arent many fat grip axle bars available currenty to compare to. Making it an even 20lbs would make my OCD a bit happier,. Mine came with a small chip in the powder coat, but overall the quality and finish are great
