Cable Biceps Curl (EZ-Bar)
The cable curl on the angled EZ attachment, which turns the wrists slightly in and spares them compared with a straight bar.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low pulley, the EZ attachment held underhand on its angled grips, elbows at the sides.
Steps
- Curl the bar up to the chin, elbows still.
- Squeeze the biceps at the top for a beat.
- Lower to straight arms, keeping the cable taut.
Common mistakes
Grabbing the straight middle of the bar: hold the angled grips; they are the point of it. Elbows sliding forward as the bar rises: they stay at the sides; the forearms alone travel. Rocking the hips to start the curl: stand tall and lighten the stack.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
