Close Grip EZ Curl (EZ Bar Curl)

Close Grip EZ Curl Instructions

• Feet positioned in an athletic stance slightly outside shoulder-width.
• Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead.
• The core is braced and engaged. Shoulders are pinned back with your chest up.
• With your hands roughly 6-8 inches apart, hold an EZ Curl bar with an underhand grip.
• You elbows should be at your sides.
• Maintaining fixed upper arms, begin by curling the bar until it it at shoulder level.
• Take a quick pause to hold the contraction.
• Lower the bar to the starting position under control.
• The eccentric portion is just as important as the concentric with arm development.

*Tips*

• Your body and upper arms should remain fixed throughout the exercise. Only your forearms should move.
• The muscle used first will be used the most. Momentum will negate the movement.
• The EZ Bar helps take stress off of your elbows.
