The Ez-Bar Biceps Curl with Arm Blaster is a variation of the traditional biceps curl that involves using an arm blaster to isolate and target the biceps muscles. The arm blaster is a piece of equipment that helps to stabilize the elbows and prevent cheating or swinging during the exercise, resulting in more focused and intense biceps contraction.
How to perform
To perform the Ez-Bar Biceps Curl with Arm Blaster, follow these steps:1. Start by securing the arm blaster around your torso, placing the curved portion underneath your armpits and adjusting the straps for a snug fit.
2. Grab an Ez-Bar with an underhand grip (palms facing upward) at shoulder-width apart.
3. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms fully extended down by your sides, palms facing forward.
4. Keeping your elbows fixed against the arm blaster, exhale and curl the barbell up towards your shoulders while contracting your biceps. Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
5. Once the barbell reaches shoulder level, hold the contraction for a brief moment before slowly lowering the barbell back to the starting position.
6. Inhale as you lower the barbell back to the starting position, fully extending your arms while maintaining tension in your biceps.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps each.
8. Remember to keep your back straight, core engaged, and avoid using momentum to swing the barbell up. Focus on controlled movements and squeezing the biceps at the top of the curl for maximum muscle engagement.
9. After completing your set, carefully remove the arm blaster and allow your biceps to rest before performing additional sets or exercises.
