How to do the EZ-Bar Standing Back Wrist Curl

  1. Select an appropriate weight on the EZ curl barbell. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing downwards, and hands spaced apart at about the width of your shoulders.

  2. Fully extend your arms so that the barbell is in front of your thighs with your wrists in line with your forearms to begin the exercise.

  3. Without moving your arms, exhale and slowly curl your wrists upwards towards your body, ensuring that the motion is controlled and only your wrists are moving.

  4. Hold the contraction for a moment when your wrists are fully curled.

  5. Inhale and slowly lower your wrists back to the starting position, again ensuring control and not allowing gravity to take over the motion.

  6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps, maintaining good form throughout. Make sure to avoid using momentum or swinging the weight.
