How to perform Close-Grip EZ-Bar Curl
- Stand upright and hold the EZ-bar by its inner angled sections with palms facing mostly forward.
- Keep your upper arms beside your torso and your wrists aligned with the bar's grips.
- Bend your elbows to raise the bar without swinging your trunk or moving the upper arms forward.
- Finish the curl within the range you can reach while keeping that upper-arm position.
- Lower under control until the elbows are extended.
- Repeat with the same grip and stationary upper arms.
