How to perform EZ Bar Wrist Curl with proper form

Setup

  1. Equipment: Use an EZ bar.
  2. Grip: Stand or sit holding the EZ bar with an underhand grip (palms facing up), shoulder-width apart.

Execution

  1. Positioning: Rest your forearms on a flat surface (e.g., your thighs or a bench) while allowing your wrists to hang off. Keep your elbows close to your body.
  2. Movement:
    • Curl the EZ bar upward by flexing your wrists.
    • Keep your forearms stationary; only your wrists should move.
  3. Peak Contraction: Squeeze at the top of the movement, holding for a moment.
  4. Lowering: Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the descent.

Tips

  • Keep your back straight and avoid using momentum.
  • Focus on engaging the forearm muscles throughout the exercise.
  • Ensure a full range of motion for maximum effectiveness.
