| E-Z
Bar Biceps Curl |
|
Purpose
of this exercise: TO DEVELOP STRENGTH IN THE BICEPS
This
exercise is the most popular of the biceps exercises.
E-Z bars reduce the stress on the forearm muscles, allowing
more weight and reducing the chance of injury.

| Technique |

Begin
by taking a hipwidth stance with legs slightly
bent, hands on outside angle of the E-Z bar with
arms straight and bar resting on thighs.
|
|
| 2. |
Curl
the bar up, keeping elbows in at the sides until
hands are in front of shoulders at the top. Don't
swing the bar or let elbows turn out. |
| 3. |
Slowly
lower the bar to the starting position. |
|
| CAUTIONS!! |
|
•To
avoid injury, do not arch your back.
•If
lifting heavy weights, use a weight belt.
•If
your forearms get sore after a few weeks, you are probably
straining the muscles and need to switch to an E-Z bar.
