EZ Curl Bar for Maximal Bicep Development

ez curl bar by kaleena lawlessA few weeks back I bought an EZ curl bar off one of my clients because he has a much better one he uses regularly. I'm already noticing a difference. I haven't worked out with one consistently, since working at a gym. A lot of people think the EZ curl bar is pointless when they can just do bicep curls instead.

Here are Three Great Reasons to use the EZ Curl Bar

1. The bar improves form and is easy on the wrists. This is proper technique for a full and awesome "pump." Even though you can theoretically do this with dumbbells, the EZ curl ensures every rep is performed this way. You can hold the bar from the other side (upside down) as well to activate different muscle fibers. The bar also takes pressure off the wrists, which is great for those of us with wrist problems.

2. It's a challenge. If you are used to lifting 25 pound dumbbells in each hand, you will find it a lot harder to lift 50 with both arms plus the weight of the bar. Using a bar to work your biceps is quite challenging. So if you find your biceps haven't developed in a while, use the EZ curl, reduce weight and work your way up to your single arm curl weight.

3. The EZ curl can be used for other exercises. Over head triceps extensions, rows for the back while laying prone (stomach down) on a bench and forearm curls can be performed with the bar. So if you don't have a barbell yet, the EZ curl can come in handy.

If you have a home gym I highly recommend adding the EZ curl to your equipment. If you have a membership at a gym, next workout head to the lifting section and try it out.
