Exercise Description

The ez bar curl exercise builds bigger, stronger biceps while being easier on your wrists than straight bars. Perfect for adding muscle size and arm strength.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, hold the EZ bar with an underhand grip at shoulder width 2. Keep your elbows close to your sides and shoulders back throughout the ez bar curl movement 3. Curl the bar up by squeezing your biceps, bringing it toward your chest 4. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the EZ bar back to starting position 5. Complete your reps with control, never swinging or using momentum during the ez bar curl

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and avoid arching your back during each ez bar curl rep • Don't let your elbows drift forward - keep them locked at your sides • Control the weight down slowly to get maximum muscle growth • Use the angled grip of the EZ bar to reduce wrist strain compared to straight bars

Common Mistakes

• Swinging the weight up using momentum instead of controlled muscle contraction during ez bar curls • Letting elbows move forward which reduces bicep activation • Dropping the weight too fast on the way down, missing out on the ez bar curl's muscle-building benefits
