How to do it

Press both feet flat into the floor to brace your seated posture.

  1. 1

    Sit on the edge of a bench with your legs spread and the EZ-bar between your legs.

  2. 2

    Grasp the EZ-bar with a close grip and rest your elbow against your inner thigh.

  3. 3

    Curl the bar up towards your shoulder, focusing on the bicep contraction.

  4. 4

    Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbow pressed against your inner thigh to prevent movement and ensure isolation of the bicep.
