- Stand up straight while holding an EZ curl bar at the wide outer handle. The palms of your hands should be facing forward and slightly tilted inward due to the shape of the bar. Keep your elbows close to your torso. This will be your starting position.
- Now, while keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights forward while contracting the biceps. Focus on only moving your forearms.
- Continue to raise the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold the top contracted position for a moment and squeeze the biceps.
- Then inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Variations: You can also perform this movement using an E-Z attachment hooked to a low pulley. This variation seems to really provide a good contraction at the top of the movement.
You may also use the closer grip for variety purposes.

Tip: EZ-Bar Curl
Sep 10, 2012 10:12 PM: I love this exercise! Just have to make sure you're keeping total control of the bar at all time and contracting your bicep at the top. Don't let yourself get in the habit of using momentum every rep! Only for the last few (:

Review: EZ-Bar Curl
Sep 3, 2012 10:33 AM: Which is the best exercise for the volume of bicep? Standing Barbell curl or the EZ bar curl? I heard EZ bar curl is only for the cut/shape of muscle not for the volume. Is it true? Please help me by giving answer.
