How to do it

1. Add weight to an EZ bar. Begin with roughly half of what you can bicep curl.
2. Grab the bar with an even overhand grip with your hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Stand tall, straighten your arms, and have the bar rest against your thighs.
4. Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, straighten your wrists, and take a breath.
5. Curl the EZ bar up until your wrists are slightly higher than your elbows. Don’t use momentum to lift the weight.
6. Hold the top position for a moment. You should feel your biceps and the front of your forearms working. Don’t let your wrists bend in any direction; have them in line with your forearms.
7. Lower the EZ bar slowly, making sure to extend your elbows at the bottom as you exhale.
8. Take another breath and repeat.
