EZ-Bar Bicep Curl

About

You can handle heavier weights than you can do with a dumbbell. If you have a sore wrist when doing the Barbell Biceps Culr, I recommend using the EZ bar.

How to EZ-Bar Bicep Curl

Starting Position

1. Please stand shoulder-width apart.

2. Let your arms hang naturally down and grab the barbell. The barbell should be positioned right in front of your thighs.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Please lift the barbell while keeping your elbows and shoulders fixed.

2. Slowly return to the starting position.

3. When lowering the barbell, do not lower it completely; lower it just enough so that your biceps do not relax.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

This is an exercise recommended for those who experience wrist pain when using a standard barbell. If you have no issues performing with a standard barbell, please use it for a greater contraction feeling.
