Ez Curl Bar Benefits
1) Less Joint Strain - The angled grip on an EZ Curl Bar can help remove some of the stress on joints by avoiding the external rotation which is required on a straight bar. The semi-supinated position you use to grip the bar is simply more comfortable in most lifters' hands and wrists, and while the position isn’t fully neutral, it is very close.
2) Reduced Size And Improved Balance - EZ Curl Bars are generally shorter, and lighter than standard bars. Ez Bars bring the weight plates closer to your center of gravity, so you’re better able to focus on lifting the weight straight up and down instead of needing to focus on keeping the bar balanced.
3) Better Muscle Isolation And Activation - Research has shown higher levels of activation in the brachii and brachioradialis during the concentric and eccentric phase of the curl when using an EZ bar compared to a straight bar or dumbbells.
Sample EZ Curl Bar Arm Workout
- Bicep curls: 3 sets of 8-12 reps (To perform bicep curls, hold the EZ curl bar with an underhand grip and curl the bar up towards your chest, then lower the bar back down to the starting position.)
- Reverse curls: 3 sets of 8-12 reps (To perform reverse curls, hold the EZ curl bar with a overhand grip and curl the bar up towards your shoulders, then lower the bar back down to the starting position.)
- Preacher curls: 3 sets of 8-12 reps ( And for preacher curls, sit on a preacher bench and hold the EZ curl bar with an underhand grip, then curl the bar up towards your chest and lower the bar back down to the starting position.)
- Skull crushers: 3 sets of 8-12 reps (To perform skull crushers, lie on a bench and hold the EZ curl bar with an overhand grip, then lower the bar down towards your forehead and then extend your arms back up.)
- Overhead Extension 3 sets of 8-12 reps (Hold the EZ curl bar with an overhand grip, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart above your head. Lower the bar behind your head, keeping your elbows straight and your upper arms close to your ears and then raise the bar back to starting position.)
- Close Grip Bench: 3 sets of 8-12 reps (For close grip bench press, lie on a bench and hold the EZ curl bar with a close grip, then press the bar up and down.)
