The EZ Barbell Seated Curls is a strength training exercise that targets the biceps muscles. The EZ barbell is a shorter, curved barbell with angled grips that make it easier on the wrists and elbows. Seated curls help isolate the bicep muscles and prevent cheating or swinging during the movement.
How to perform
To perform EZ Barbell Seated Curls, follow these steps:1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, back straight, and core engaged.
2. Grasp the EZ barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and palms facing up.
3. Rest your upper arms on the bench with your elbows slightly bent, and allow your forearms to hang down in front of you.
4. Brace your core and keep your upper arms stationary throughout the exercise.
5. Slowly curl the barbell up towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight.
6. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to maintain proper form and tempo throughout the exercise to ensure that your biceps are being effectively engaged. You can adjust the weight of the EZ barbell to suit your fitness level and increase the challenge as you progress.
