Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Hold the EZ barbell with a close grip, hands about shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing upward. A common mistake is using a wide grip, which can put unnecessary strain on your wrists and limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movement: Lower the barbell slowly towards your forehead, keeping your elbows pointed towards the ceiling. Then, extend your arms back to the starting position. Avoid the mistake of allowing your elbows to flare out to the sides as this can put undue stress on your shoulder joints. Avoid Using Excessive Weight: One common mistake is using too much weight, which can compromise form and lead to injury. Start with a weight that you can comfortably lift for 10 to 12
