EZ-Bar Close-Grip Preacher Curl

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

How to do it

Setup

Seated at the preacher bench, arms on the pad, EZ-bar held underhand on its inner bends.

Steps

Curl the bar toward the chin, hands staying on the inner bends.
Keep the elbows the same distance apart as at the start.
Lower slowly until the arms are almost straight.

Common mistakes

Elbows splaying out on the pad as the hands come close: keep them under the shoulders. Grip sliding to the outer bends mid-set: settle on the inner ones and stay. Bouncing out of the bottom: stop, then curl.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
