curl with the palms turned down on an EZ bar, which puts the work on the
brachialis and the forearms
the angled grips turn your hands part way from palms-down towards neutral, so
the wrists sit easier than on a straight bar. The top of the forearm still
works as a prime mover
with the hands turned over the biceps sit in a mechanically poor position, so
it loads far lighter than a regular EZ-bar curl and that is expected
Execution
Grab the EZ bar overhand on the angled grips, the inside pair or the outside
pair, whichever sits easier. Arms hang at your thighs. Stand tall with your
elbows at your sides.
curl the bar up while keeping your upper arms still
keep your wrists straight rather than letting them bend back
lower the bar under control to full extension
pause briefly at the bottom to hold the stretch
keep your elbows pinned to your sides throughout
Expect much less weight than a regular EZ-bar curl. When it gets heavy, use body
English to cheat it up and own the negative.
