To maximize the benefits of the EZ barbell curl, focus on controlled movements to prevent momentum from reducing effectiveness. A common mistake is using too much weight, leading to poor form and increased injury risk. Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid swinging them. For beginners, start with a lighter weight to perfect form, gradually increasing as strength improves. Advanced users can add intensity with techniques like slow negatives or supersets. This exercise primarily targets the biceps, offering hypertrophy and strength gains. Adjust grip width on the EZ bar to emphasize different parts of the biceps.
