How to do the EZ-Bar Curl
- Stand up straight while holding an EZ curl bar at the wide outer handle.
- The palms of your hands should be facing forward and slightly tilted inward due to the shape of the bar.
- Keep your elbows close to your torso.
- This will be your starting position.Now, while keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights forward while contracting the biceps.
- Focus on only moving your forearms.Continue to raise the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
- Hold the top contracted position for a moment and squeeze the biceps.Then inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
