Exercise
EZ-bar curls
Purpose
- bicep isolation movement with reduced wrist strain
- high tension in lengthened position if using a supporter
- allows semi-supinated grip for more comfortable bicep training
Execution
Grab the EZ-bar with an underhand grip, palms angled 45 degrees inward. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- lift the bar up by flexing at the elbows
- lower the bar with control
- allow full extension at the bottom for maximum stretch
When the weight gets heavy, cheat the bar up. Focus on controlling the negative. If you have one, use an elbow supporter and tilt your arms toward the sky for increased tension in the lengthened position.
