Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Grab the EZ bar with an underhand grip at about shoulder width.

  2. 02

    Stand tall with a braced core and chest up. Keep feet together or stagger one foot slightly for balance. Let your arms hang fully extended so the bar is just in front of your thighs (not resting on your body).

  3. 03

    Set your posture: eyes forward, shoulders down and back, and elbows pinned to your sides.

  4. 04

    Curl the bar up slowly by bending only at the elbows—avoid swinging, leaning back, or letting your elbows drift forward.

  5. 05

    At the top, squeeze your biceps for a brief moment.

  6. 06

    Lower under control until your elbows are straight again, keeping tension and the same strict body position.

  7. 07

    Repeat for your target reps.
