Bending the arms while standing with a crooked neck of the barbell (EZ neck)

The Curved Bar Curl is a simple exercise that specifically targets the biceps. Part of the load falls on the shoulder muscle, but it plays a supporting role.
Unlike a straight bar, a curved bar places more stress on the inner head of the biceps, so this exercise is well suited for building arm mass. Another advantage of such a neck is the reduction of stress on the wrists, which reduces the risk of injury in the future if the athlete works with a large weight. Correct technique
Before performing the exercise, you need to stand up straight, holding a barbell with a curved neck with a wide grip. The palms look forward, and the elbow joints are pressed tightly against the body. This will be the starting position for bending the arms. After exhaling, a smooth bending of the arm in the elbow joint is performed. Part of the arm from the elbow to the shoulder must necessarily remain motionless, since only the forearms are included in the work. The movement is performed until the biceps are fully contracted and until the bar is at the same level with the shoulders. A small pause is maintained at the top point of the amplitude and the muscles are additionally tensed. As you inhale, the bar gently lowers down to its original position. 15-20 repetitions are performed. Beginner women are recommended to work with 12 kg, and beginner men – with 20 kg.
This exercise can be performed in a block simulator from the lower block. For this, a special EZ-handle is used. With its help, you can feel the middle part of the biceps well at the end point of the amplitude.
