What EZ Bar Biceps Curl trains
Technique
How to do the EZ Bar Biceps Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding an EZ bar with an underhand grip on the angled sections of the bar, hands about shoulder-width apart. Let your arms hang fully extended in front of your thighs.
- Keeping your elbows close to your sides, curl the bar upward toward your shoulders by bending your elbows.
- Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your elbows pinned to your sides and avoid swinging your body to lift the bar.
- The angled grip of the EZ bar reduces wrist strain; let your hands follow the natural angle.
- Exhale as you curl the bar up and inhale as you lower it back down.
- Lower the bar slowly to maximize muscle engagement on the way down.
