Stole the curl bar idea from Basillie and patented it.  Also patented the power transmission.

He actually bent the first one with his bare hands while on a cycle of Plazmosis.

The EZ-Kurl (or Curl) bar is a fairly common piece of equipment these days but there was a time when it wasn't quite so well-known.

A man named Lewis G. Dymeck invented the Dymek Curling bar (better known as the "EZ Curl" bar) and was granted the patent for it on May 23, 1950.

Dymeck invented this unusual bar to train the biceps in a different manner than with a straight bar.

The idea caught on... Soon many strength equipment companies began selling their own version of this piece of equipment.

From http://www.oldtimestrongman.com



The inventor of the EZ curl bar was Lewis G. Dymeck, who was awarded the patent for it on May 23, 1950. By providing a variety of angles to position the hands, this squiggly barbell enables the user to perform a variety of exercises with less wrist strain. This innovation has had an amazing impact on strength training and bodybuilding, as it provides more stability than dumbbells so that heavier weights can be used. And that's why you'll see many EZ curl bar exercises in my workouts, especially in my book Winning the Arms Race. The EZ curl bar is a winner.

H-bar in my mind is useless.  Almost as useless as the ez-curl.  But I digress.  What is a "cheat curl" Funk51?

          i think an ez curl bar  has some uses esp tricep extensions a cheat curl is when you get your back more involved in the action almost like a reverse clean. see pics. have a nice day.

I find when I use it for triceps the sweet spot is using the wider curve rather than the close grip for hand placement. for the vidual my hands would be in the semi hammer grip position like this
