Ez Bar Barbell Curl

Stand tall with the EZ-bar in the grip that feels most comfortable for your wrists. Keep your elbows beside your torso and brace your core.

Keep your shoulders from rising and curl the bar with your biceps. The EZ-bar angle reduces wrist strain, so focus on your biceps contracting.

Lower the bar slowly so your biceps lengthen fully. Control the speed instead of dropping tension when your arms extend.

Think of pulling the bar up with your biceps. The comfortable grip makes it easier to focus on your arms without momentum, so lower the weight if your shoulders move.

Adding too much weight because your wrists feel comfortable eventually brings in lower-back momentum. A comfortable grip supports accurate reps; it is not a reason to add weight.

Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower. Steady breathing also helps keep your elbows in place.

The EZ-bar is comfortable for your wrists but can sway side to side. Check each rep to make sure the bar rises to the same height along your body’s center.
