BeginnerDynamicBrachialis & Biceps
EZ-Bar Hammer Curls
EZ-bar hammer curls train the same brachioradialis and bicep strength as standard dumbbell hammer curls, but the bar's angled grip is easier on the wrists for anyone training heavy volume or coming back from wrist discomfort.
Muscles Worked
Brachioradialis, biceps, forearm
Equipment
EZ bar
How to Do It
- 1Hold the EZ-bar on its angled grips, palms facing each other
- 2Curl the weight up keeping the grip neutral throughout
- 3Lower with control, no swinging
Sets & Reps
3-4 sets · 8-12 reps
Coaching Tips
- •Keep the neutral grip throughout the movement
- •No swinging - strict form only
Common Mistakes
- ✕Gripping too far out on the bar's bends, which changes the angle away from the neutral-ish grip this variation is meant to provide
- ✕Using this exclusively instead of dumbbell hammer curls when there's no wrist discomfort driving the need for it — both are useful, this is a substitution, not strictly an upgrade
