biceps builder on a bar that fixes your hands part way between supinated and
neutral
that angle sits between a straight-bar curl and a hammer curl, so some work
moves onto the brachialis while the biceps still lead
the wrists sit where most people's forearms want them, which is why heavy
curls are easier to hold here than on a straight bar
Execution
Grab the EZ-bar on the angled grips, palms turned about 45 degrees inwards.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, elbows close to your torso. Brace
your trunk.
curl the bar up by bending your elbows
lower it under control to full arm extension
keep your upper arms where they are
pause briefly at the bottom before the next rep
When the weight gets heavy, use body English to cheat it up and own the
negative. Keep going until you can no longer perform the lengthened half of a
rep. An elbow supporter tilts your upper arms forward and loads the bottom
hardest.
