EZ Bar Curl

The EZ bar is ideal for doing bicep curls. It differs from a regular barbell curl in that the zigzag kinks in the bar enables for a much more natural hold and grip allowing you to really get the most out of each set, hitting the biceps effectively.

Check out the exercise instructions for the EZ curl. It includes a great video demonstration and tips for getting the technique right.

Exercise Tips:

  • With the EZ bar curl, all of the movement should come from your forearms curling the bar only. The upper arms should remain fixed to your torso throughout and you should not be arching your back to aid lifting the bar. If you find that arching your back is unavoidable, lower the weight until your biceps are doing all of the work.

  • Barbell Bicep Curls – This exercise is a great bicep exercise and is performed using the same exercise description as the EZ bar curl.

  • Cable Bicep Curl – On this exercise, the barbell is swapped for the cable on the low pulley which still targets the biceps.
