EZ-Bar Curl
The EZ-bar curl uses a cambered bar that places the wrists in a semi-supinated position, reducing wrist strain compared to a straight barbell. It is easier on the joints while still delivering excellent bicep stimulus.
How to Perform
1
Grip the angled portions of the EZ-bar with an underhand grip.
2
Stand tall with elbows pinned to your sides.
3
Curl the bar up by contracting your biceps.
4
Squeeze at the top and lower slowly.
5
Keep your wrists neutral — the bar angle does this for you.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using body swing to lift heavier weight.
Moving elbows forward during the curl.
Not extending fully at the bottom.
