EZ Bar Curl instructions
Step-by-step instructions
1
Stand up straight while holding an EZ bar at the wide outer handle. The palms of your hands should be facing your torso.
2
Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times.
3
Curl the bar until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
4
Hold this position for a few seconds to maximize the contraction, then slowly lower the bar back to the initial position.
5
Repeat this motion for the programmed number of reps. Avoid using your back or shoulders to lift the bar; your hands and arms should do all the work.
