EZ Bar Curls Overview
The EZ bar curl is a biceps exercise that alleviates wrist strain and engages the biceps more. The bar used in this curl is curved, and it serves the special purpose of eliminating the wrist from the equation, directing all strain to your biceps.
How To Do It?
- Grip the EZ curl bar keeping a comfortable grip
- Stand straight, with neutral shoulders and a comfortable stance.
- Curl the bar up to your chest and squeeze your biceps momentarily
- Next, lower the bar under control but keep bending your elbow so your elbows keep feeling the pressure
- Repeat as many times as you can.
Tips on EZ Bar Curl
- Keeping the elbows static is the key here; this will allow for a harder bicep challenge.
- Place your hands on the bar close to each other if you want to increase resistance.
- Curling is all about modest weights: do not lift too heavy, but do not lift too light either. Maintain a balance.
