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.
