    GP industries OBZ-SS 5 ft Olympic EZ Curl Bar - anyone use it?

    I have not been able to find any reviews of this bar online. I saw the review by extremistpullup here on his stainless steel 7 ft olympic power bar which looked very nice. I am looking at the 5 ft stainless steel curl bar made by GP industries though and was hoping to get some thoughts on it. It is in the same general price range as the Ivanko OBZ-55 black oxide curl bar. I am thinking about treating myself to a nice curl bar and would appreciate any personal experience with the GP bar. Thanks in advance!
