Overview

Cable curls performed with an EZ bar attachment strengthen the biceps and wrist flexors. The EZ bar reduces shearing forces on the wrist and provides a more comfortable grip than the straight bar attachment. Cable curls provide a smooth resistance throughout the entire range-of-motion (ROM). Variations include using a single handle and reverse EZ cable curls.

Description

• Standing with your body stabilized, hold the EZ-bar with your palms facing up and slightly turned inward.
• Keep your chest up and your elbows braced at your sides at all time.
• Bend your elbows and pull the bar up toward your chest, until your elbows can’t bend further.
• Return slowly to the bottom position.

Mistakes

• Letting the elbows move forward instead of keeping them back against the torso
• Leaning back excessively
• Swinging the body
