It's largely preference... I used to do only straight bar but now I do some EZ bar curls too..

Straight bar forces your wrists to turn all the way, contracting your biceps more.

straight is my favorite, but use both for the best results

The Barbell is the "straight" bar.

I do prefer the barbell, but I vary from time to time.

Both have their own positives and negitives. I like both equally the same, and do both regularly.

I'd have to say I SLIGHTLY prefer the EZ bar curl, just because of the hand positioning. I play lacrosse, and practices are usually about 3 hours. After all that time throwing, catching, cradling, and throwing checks, my wrists sometimes hurt pretty bad. EZ bar puts less strain on them. I still use plenty of straight bar though

EZCurl bar. I find when I use the barbell it hurts my forearms and wrists. As a result of that, I end up with "forearm splints", and it hurts like hell for a week.

I still try and do them every other workout though, with low weight.

I use both, one week i would use bb, then next week i would use ez.... i cycle it around and change it to something else sometimes.

[nailed to the x]

straight i feel i get a better work out and my forearms feel like they get worked out to

i use ez bar mostly as i ve been used to it. i will use the closer grove to train my forearm and biceps. its quite a gd bar for bicep curl but straight bar will generally have a better result
