Band EZ-Bar Close-Grip Curl
The close-grip EZ-bar curl with bands looped from the bar's ends to the floor under the feet; the bands stretch as the bar rises, so the top is the heaviest part.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on two bands looped around the ends of an EZ-bar, hands on its inner bends, bar at the thighs.
Steps
- Curl the bar to the upper chest against the bands.
- Pause where the bands pull hardest.
- Lower slowly to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Bands slipping out from under the feet: stand on them squarely. Letting the bands drag the bar down fast: control the lowering. Hands drifting to the outer bends: keep the close grip.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
