Reverse Ez Bar Curl · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Hold the EZ-bar with an overhand grip and find the groove that feels comfortable for your wrists. Keep your elbows beside your torso and brace your core.

STEP 2

Start phase

Curl the bar with your forearms without shoulder or lower-back momentum. Keep the feeling that only the joints below your elbows are folding.

STEP 3

End phase

Lower the bar slowly while keeping your forearms engaged. Maintain the same wrist angle without letting it collapse at full extension.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Think of lifting the bar with the outside of your forearms. The EZ-bar grip reduces wrist strain, so slow down further if you cannot feel your forearms working.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Speeding up because the EZ-bar feels comfortable removes forearm engagement. Keep the wrist angle controlled through the full range of motion, even if the range is small.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower. Steady breathing helps you maintain a consistent pace.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Pause for about 1 second at the top for stronger forearm engagement. Use a moderate grip; squeezing too hard makes your fingers fatigue first.
