Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds the biceps and elbow flexion strength. That carries over to pulling exercises and everyday lifting.
You should feel it in your biceps, with some work in the forearms. It should not be felt in your lower back or shoulders.
A common mistake is swinging the bar and using your back for momentum. Keep your torso still, elbows by your sides, and control every rep.

Tips
§ 05 · TipsDo not swing the bar or use your back to generate momentum, keep your upper body still and produce the movement only at the elbows. The angled grip of the EZ bar reduces strain on your wrists, so keep your wrists neutral throughout the entire set.
The EZ bar's angled grip positions your wrists at a more natural angle than a straight bar and reduces wrist strain.
