Here's the thing, it'll cut ya soft spots. It's exactly what a curl bar should be in that regard. If your mitts sweat too much for this thing, I'll shake your hand some other time.
I will also say, to keep that aggressive knurling, the cerakote is not thick. Mine wore and tarnished some quickly, but seems to have settled and has a little character. If you're picky about that black staying uniform, you may have some issues here.
