The EZ-bar curl is a barbell curl on an angled bar: easier on your wrists than a straight one.
1Starting position2End position
Setup
Grab the EZ-bar on the bends with an underhand grip, hands about shoulder-width. Stand tall, feet hip-width, knees soft. Elbows at your sides, shoulder blades slightly back.
Execution
Stand tall, take the EZ-bar by the outer grips, elbows pinned to your sides — starting position.
Exhale and curl the bar up to your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top.
Inhale and lower it back down slowly.
Common mistakes
Swinging your torso — if the weight won't move without it, it's too heavy.
Elbows drifting forward at the top — keep them at your sides, or the biceps get a break.
Dropping the bar — lower it under control to nearly straight arms.
Using the narrow bend when the wide one feels better — pick the bend that doesn't strain your wrists.
