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.
