How to do a ez-barbell seated curl

Setup:

1. Bench and Barbell: Sit on the edge of a bench with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Hold the EZ-curl bar with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart or slightly wider (use the angles that feel most comfortable on your wrists).
2. Barbell Position: Rest the EZ-curl bar on your thighs.
3. Posture: Sit tall with your chest up, shoulders back and down, and core engaged.

The Lift:

1. Curl Upwards: Inhale and slowly curl the bar towards your shoulders, keeping your upper arms stationary. Focus on using your biceps to lift the weight.
2. Peak Contraction: Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, holding the contraction briefly.
3. Controlled Lowering: Exhale and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, resisting the urge to drop or relax at the bottom.

Tips:

• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body throughout the movement.
• Slow and Controlled: Avoid using momentum. Focus on the contraction of your biceps.
• Full Range of Motion: Extend your arms fully at the bottom, feeling a good stretch in your biceps.
• Grip Width: Experiment with different grip widths on the EZ-curl bar to find what feels most comfortable and effective for you.
