Great attachment

This fat bar is great for doing pull downs and tricep push downs. It also works great on curls. It will also work the forearms. Well built and worth the moneyRead full review

This is a big bar - long and heavy duty. Added bonus - there’s a bit of knurling on the bar that I couldn’t see in the pics. If you’re looking for a great way to work on your grip strength - this is the bar for you. Well made - nothing dainty about this bar.

This fat bar is great! A wider bar is much more comfortable for my grip. Has a nice passive knurl on it. It’s thick enough when my thumb is around the bar I can feel it working my forearms. But with more of a suicide grip it takes forearms out of the equation. Highly recommend this bar!

I love the bar. It’s longer than most other lat pulldown bars and the thickness makes it feel better than anything else. It’s just heavy so you have to be careful to not knock yourself out when changing weights. But it’s overall extremely heavy duty and well made. Nice job Bells of Steel.

Myself and my clients are digging the Fat Bar ~ Olympic Curl Bar Cable Attachment from BoS; what a tight piece of kit and a worthy addition to anyone's home gym's arsenal of tools,

I pimped my bar our by adding some orange accents to compliment the colourway of our home gym; Gains4LIFE where clients of Chilanko Forks Fitness embrace the grind to strengthen mind, body and soul.

Thanks again to Bruno for his assistance; the BoS team rocks!

After 20+ years of lifting, I’ve accumulated enough specialty bars to make my garage look like a medieval armory. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from another curl bar, but this thing surprised me.
The fat grip completely changes the feel. My forearms are lit up long before my biceps start filing complaints, and my elbows actually feel better compared to my old EZ curl bar. The knurling is aggressive enough to hang onto without feeling like you’re trying to palm a cheese grater.
The welds, finish, and overall build quality are exactly what I’d expect from Bells of Steel. It’s solid, doesn’t have any weird flex, and just feels like a piece of equipment that’s going to outlive me. Which is comforting, because my knees have already started negotiating their retirement package.
The thicker diameter also keeps me honest. Suddenly those “easy” curls become a humbling experience. Nothing bruises your ego faster than stripping plates off a curl bar while your dog watches from the corner with visible disappointment.
My only complaint? It exposes every shortcut you’ve been taking. If your grip is weak, this bar will let everyone know. It’s basically the gym equivalent of that brutally honest friend who says, “You sure you want to wear that?”
Overall, this thing is a home run. If you want more grip work without buying another dedicated grip tool, this bar does double duty while still being fantastic for curls, skull crushers, and close-grip pressing.
Highly recommended. Just don’t blame Bells of Steel when your forearms are so pumped you need two hands to pick up your coffee the next morning.

Absolutely amazing!

Best most comfortable ez bar curls ever! Looking forward to press downs later this week. Read full review

I like the fat bar, both for hand comfort and grip training. I also like the fact that it can be used both as a barbell and as a cable attachment (though I don't have a cable machine yet) -- versatility is always appreciated for the home gym with limited space. My only complaint is that the cable attachment point can move around when using it as a barbell (think about a piece of metal rotating toward your face when doing skull crushers). It would be nice if you could lock the attachment point in place or retract it when not using with a cable. I've found that wrapping a #94 rubber band across the gap of the attachment point does a good job of keeping it from moving (see photo).

As usual, I am very happy with another Bells of Steel accessory. This Fat Bar has been great as a weight loaded bar for bi’s and tri’s, as well as when I use it as a cable attachment. This thing is a hoss. Prior to buying it I saw some videos and reviews about it having ugly welds. That was certainly NOT the case with mine. Mine has big, solid and uniform welds that look great. From BOS, I have purchased this Fat bar, the SS4 bar w/row handles, the Seal Row pad, and several of their 1 in. Mag Pins. I am a big guy 285# and move a lot of weight. I have not seen this quality at their price point anywhere.

Had a few workouts with this piece. First, it's an original one as no other company has made such an attachment for functional trainers or as stand alone specialty bar. Knurling is plenty grippy enough and the texture is good. I love the versatility of it and it's priced very nicely. Great job BOS, highly recommended !

I wasn’t sure if I liked this at first. After doing a few sessions with it, I really enjoy using it. The grip is large and super comfortable. My wrists don’t hurt, and for the moment, this is my favorite way to do curls. They feel great with the extra forearm activation, and it just feels solid and sturdy in my hands. The welds are wild, and I wish the knurl was a hair deeper but it’s a damn good bar.
