EZ-Barbell Standing Wide Grip Biceps Curl
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times and, without moving your upper arms, curl the weights while contracting your biceps.
Continue to raise the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
Slowly begin to bring the bar back to the starting position as your breathe in, ensuring to keep the movement controlled and not allowing the weight to drop quickly.
Pro Tip
Maintain Posture: It's important to keep your back straight and your elbows close to your body throughout the exercise. Leaning back or swinging the bar to lift it are common mistakes that can lead to back strain or injury. Engage your core and stand tall to maintain the correct posture. Controlled Movement: Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movement. Lift the barbell in a smooth, steady motion, and then lower it back down the same way. This will not only help to prevent injury but also ensure that your muscles are getting the maximum benefit from each rep.
