How to perform

  1. 1

    Stand up with your torso upright while holding an E-Z Curl Bar at the closer inner handle. The palm of your hands should be facing forward and they should be slightly tilted inwards due to the shape of the bar. The elbows should be close to the torso. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    While holding the upper arms stationary, curl the weights forward while contracting the biceps as you breathe out. Tip: Only the forearms should move.

  3. 3

    Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a second and squeeze the biceps hard.

  4. 4

    Slowly begin to bring the bar back to starting position as your breathe in.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Pin your elbows to your sides and keep them there.

  • Curl without swinging your torso.

  • Squeeze at the top and resist the weight on the way down.
