How to do a ez bar curl

  1. Grip the EZ bar on the angled sections with palms facing up and stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Keep your elbows pinned close to your sides and brace your core.
  3. Curl the bar toward your shoulders by contracting the biceps without swinging.
  4. Pause and squeeze at the top of the movement.
  5. Lower the bar slowly back to full extension.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your elbows fixed and avoid swinging or using momentum.
  • Maintain a neutral spine and engaged core throughout.
  • Control the lowering phase for maximum muscle tension.
  • The angled grip reduces wrist strain compared to a straight bar.
