How to do the EZ-Bar Standing Wide-Grip Bicep Curl

  3. Position your arms fully extended and close to your torso, brace your core and keep your elbows stationary.

  4. Exhale as you curl the bar up towards your chest, keeping your wrists firm and only bending at the elbows.

  5. Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of the movement, ensuring you maintain tension.

  6. Inhale as you slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, controlling the weight throughout the entire descent.
