EZ-Bar Pause Curl

BeginnerBarbell

This EZ-bar curl adds a hold near the top of the range to keep constant tension on the biceps. The angled bar is easier on the wrists than a straight bar, letting you focus on the squeeze. The built-in pause boosts muscle activation, making it a reliable driver of arm size and strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand upright with an EZ-bar in front of you.

  2. 2

    Grip the bar underhand with both hands.

  3. 3

    Brace your core, lift your chest, and lock your elbows at your sides.

  4. 4

    Curl the bar up in an arc toward your chest.

  5. 5

    Pause before your forearms reach vertical so the biceps stay loaded.

  6. 6

    Hold briefly, then lower the bar back down with control.
