How to do it
- 1
Choose a suitable load for the EZ curl bar.

- 3
Take an underhand grip on the EZ bar, placing your hands a little closer than shoulder-width apart.
- 4
Position the bar at shoulder height with your arms straight.
- 5
Keep a slight bend in your elbows so you do not lock out your joints.

Tighten your core to hold a steady stance.

Breathe in, then lower the bar toward the front of your shoulders while keeping your elbows slightly in front of your torso.
- 8
Continue lowering until your elbows reach a 90-degree angle or just below it.

Breathe out and drive the bar back to the start, fully extending your arms.
- 10
Move with control and do not rely on excessive momentum.
