How to do it

Setup

EZ-bar in the angled grips, elbows pinned to the sides.

Steps

  1. Curl the bar to the upper chest.
  2. Keep the elbows in place.
  3. Lower to full extension.

Common mistakes

Treating it like a straight bar: the angles exist for the wrists; settle into them. Elbows sliding forward: pinned. Hips starting the rep: quiet body.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
