Trying to Figure Out Special Curl Bar

I went to this old school bodybuilding gym in Ventura, CA a couple years ago for a day while I was in town. They had these barbells and dumbell sets that were made specifically for curls. It had the bar and the weights on the side like normal but then it had this second bar that flipped over onto your forearms taking almost the entire load off your hands/wrists. I’ve never felt my biceps work that much before. It’s like I never did curls in my life.

Does anyone know what they are called? I’ve never seen them before or since. They looked like old equipment so I feel they are not being made anymore.

Sounds like what the slayer barbell is all about

Don’t know what an older version would be though.

Damn, that Slayer bar looks pretty cool, especially for a home gym.

Hmmm good find. It does look similar in concept but these were much simpler. You guys that are obsessed with arms might want to try that thing out because I’ve never “felt” my biceps work like I did using those things. It’s interesting that they aren’t around more, I wonder what the story behind them are.
