Reverse Grip EZ-Bar Curl
The reverse grip EZ-bar curl is a variation of the biceps curl exercise that targets the biceps brachii muscles, as well as the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles of the forearm. Instead of using a regular grip where your palms face upward, the reverse grip involves gripping the EZ-bar with an underhand grip, where your palms face downward. This hand position places more emphasis on the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles.
How To do:
- Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the EZ-bar with an reverse grip. Your hands should be slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.
- Allow your arms to fully extend, keeping them close to your body. This is your starting position.
- Keep your upper arms stationary, exhale, and curl the bar upward by contracting your biceps. Focus on squeezing the muscles at the top of the movement.
- Pause briefly at the top of the curl, then slowly lower the bar back down to the starting position while inhaling.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips: Avoid swinging your body or using momentum to lift the weight. Control the movement and focus on feeling the contraction in your biceps and forearms.
