How to do the EZ-Bar Seated Close-Grip Concentration Curl

  1. Sit on the edge of a flat bench with your legs spread in a V shape and the EZ curl bar placed on the floor in front of you.

  2. Lean slightly forward and grasp the EZ curl bar using a close grip, with your hands in such a position that your palms are facing up and your elbows are close to your body.

  3. Pick the EZ bar up so that it's hanging down between your legs. Rest your upper arms against your inner thighs just above the knee to stabilize your arms and isolate the biceps.

  4. Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale as you curl the EZ bar up towards your shoulders by contracting your biceps.

  5. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement for a second and then inhale as you slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.

  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

  7. Rest and then perform additional sets as required.

Make sure to use a weight that allows you to maintain good form throughout the exercise. Avoid swinging the bar or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to injury and decrease the effectiveness of the exercise on the targeted muscle groups.
