EZ-Bar Close-Grip Curl

The standing EZ-bar curl with the hands on the inner bends, closer together than the shoulders.

How to do it

Setup

Standing tall, EZ-bar at the thighs, hands underhand on its inner bends, elbows at the sides.

Steps

Curl the bar up in front of the chest.
Keep the hands on the inner bends and the elbows in.
Lower slowly to straight arms.

Common mistakes

Hands sliding out to the outer bends: stay on the inner ones. Elbows drifting forward at the top: pin them. Leaning back to finish: stand tall.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
