Technique

How to perform Cable EZ-Bar Wide-Grip Curl

  1. Attach an EZ bar to the low pulley and stand facing the cable machine.
  2. Grip the outer curved sections underhand, with your hands wider than in the standard grip.
  3. Keep your upper arms steady beside your torso without forcing your wrists to a straight-bar angle.
  4. Bend your elbows to curl the bar up without lifting your shoulders or leaning back.
  5. Lower along the same path under control, preserving hand spacing and upper-arm position.
