Exercise Description
Close-Grip EZ-Bar Biceps Curl is an excellent exercise targeting the biceps, particularly the long head. This workout enables you to lift more weight and generally produce a more muscular bicep contraction. This is because you're curling with your hands in front of your body rather than by your sides, which means that the biceps are in a shorter muscle position.
Exercise Instructions
-
Step 1
Stand up straight and grab an EZ bar with an overhand grip. Make sure your hands are about six inches apart. Keep your elbows close to your torso. This will be your starting position. -
Step 2
Flex the bar until your biceps are fully contracted. Squeeze the biceps at the top, holding for a second, then slowly lower the bar to its original position.
