I currently work for 3 months with the EZ bar. it really weighs 7 kilos and is also ideal for 30/31 mm discs suitable or really that thick. fits comfortably in your hands. no deformities or otherwise. star closures sit well. I was almost shocked how fast she was there. the very next day was the bar in front of my doorstep. unbelievable how fast it went. This product can only recommend !!!
