EZ-Bar Deadlift with Biceps Curl

A deadlift of the EZ-bar from the floor, then a curl at the top, every rep; the legs lift the bar and the arms take it from there.

How to do it

Setup

Bar on the floor over mid-foot, feet hip-width, hips back and knees bent, back flat, underhand grip.

Steps

Stand up with the bar, pushing the floor away, back flat.
Standing tall, curl the bar to the upper chest and lower it.
Hinge and bend the knees to set the bar back down.

Common mistakes

Rounding the back to reach the bar: bend the knees more and keep it flat. Curling before standing fully: finish the deadlift, then start the curl. Loading the bar for the deadlift: the arms set the weight, not the legs.

Breathing

Exhale standing up and again on the curl, inhale lowering.
