One of the most well-liked items of kit I see utilized in any biceps exercise is the EZ curl bar. While I believe that it’s a useful gizmo to make use of when constructing massive biceps, I usually see one thing very mistaken with the way in which that it’s used in terms of curling. Why? Well, most individuals select to make use of the broader grip because of consolation however with the way in which the bar is engineered, it forces their grip out of supination and extra in direction of pronation.
We know that the operate of the biceps will not be solely to flex the elbow, however to supinate the forearm as effectively. To obtain most biceps contribution to an train, we have to supinate.
How can we repair this? Well we will flip the bar over and seize the handles ready that permits for higher supination. However, there may be one other necessary side that we will not overlook in terms of constructing larger biceps and that’s wrist extension. By permitting the wrists to enter extension, we aren’t solely taking the forearm contribution out of the equation, however we are literally giving the biceps a greater alternative to supinate as effectively due to the way in which the anatomy of the arm and wrist is about up. So, the subsequent time you decide to make use of an EZ curl bar in your biceps exercise, simply flip it the wrong way up and seize the handles in order that your fingers are literally supinated as a substitute of pronated. This will put the emphasis on the biceps and take away work from the brachialis.
