How to do Ez Bar Curl
Exercise
The EZ-Bar Curl movement incorporates either an EZ-bar or curl bar to help separate the biceps and create stronger muscles.
Start out standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
Hold onto the barbell in front of you with an underhand (palms up) grip and lower the bar until it is up to your thighs because that would be your starting spot.
Make sure that you hold your elbows straight, lift the bar gradually up into your chest until your forearms hit your biceps, experience a stretch and pull in those muscles.
Hold for a count then return back to the starting spot.
Repeat with as many reps and sets as needed.
Tips :
You should press back against a wall or a pillar to keep yourself from swaying thereby rendering the exercise unsuccessful.
