Notes.
- If you don’t have an EZ bar, use a straight bar instead (EZ bar is better for your wrists).
- If your hands slip on the bar, try using chalk.
Technique.
- Stand holding an EZ bar with your hands shoulder-width apart and palms facing down.
- Curl the bar up as far as you can whilst keeping your elbows by your sides.
- Control the weight and avoid swinging or cheating using momentum.
