They're great for this movement. Play around a bit with hand placement and you'll find that for the push press you can put the base of your palm (that meaty spot at the top of your ulna, on the side away from your thumb) right on the outermost bent portion of the bar. It actually makes the wrist angle a bit more comfortable. The bends will be horizontal, rather than vertical like they would be during a biceps curl. I hope that makes sense.

Hi
I used the EZ bar for this front squat push press, and it made my life alot easier. I was even able to up the weight a bit using this type of bar instead of a regular one. Don't know why exactly, but it just seemed to fit better for me. Thanks for the info.
