EZ Barbell Close grip Curl

Muscles involved

Mastering the EZ Barbell Close grip Curl requires a smart strategy to build strength without sacrificing technique. Start with a moderate weight on the EZ bar, flexing your elbows smoothly while keeping full tension on your biceps, brachialis, and forearms. The angled design of the EZ bar protects your wrists from uncomfortable strain. As you gain confidence, increase the load step by step across your sets, avoiding any body momentum to move the weight. The real growth happens when you control the downward motion; keeping your torso still ensures maximum stimulation and continuous progress without risking injury.

How to do it

1. Stand with your back straight, holding an EZ bar with a close grip. 2. Bend your elbows, bringing the bar towards your shoulders as you exhale. 3. Hold the biceps contraction at the top position. 4. Lower the bar controllably to the starting position as you inhale.
