How to do the EZ-Bar Incline Curl
Position an incline bench at a 45-degree angle.
Lie face down on the bench with your chest securely against the pad and legs extended straight behind you.
Grasp a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) at about shoulder-width apart.
Let the barbell hang directly below you with your arms fully extended towards the floor. This will be your starting position.
Without moving your upper arms, curl the barbell up towards your shoulders by bending your elbows and contracting your biceps.
Squeeze the biceps hard at the top of the curl and hold for a brief moment.
Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
When performing the exercise, ensure you maintain a stable position on the incline bench and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Focus on isolating the biceps and moving only the forearms during the curl.
