The EZ bar seated close grip concentration curl is a variation of the standard concentration curl exercise that specifically targets the biceps. The EZ bar provides a comfortable grip compared to a straight barbell, and the close grip position emphasizes the inner part of the biceps.
How to perform
To perform the EZ bar seated close grip concentration curl, follow these steps:1. Sit on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor and hold the EZ bar with a close grip, palms facing up. Your hands should be positioned slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.
2. Rest your upper arms against your inner thighs and extend your arms fully, allowing the EZ bar to hang down towards the floor. Keep your back straight and shoulders back.
3. Slowly curl the EZ bar towards your shoulders, keeping your upper arms stationary and squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
4. Lower the EZ bar back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, fully extending your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to effectively target the biceps and avoid injury. Focus on controlled movements and avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight. Adjust the positioning of your hands on the EZ bar as needed to ensure a comfortable and effective grip.
