[iwouldbonekerihilson]

oh my god he does look like Carlton from "The Fresh Prince of Belair" (I know, not good spelling but its not an easy word to spell)

[jeppestrale]

Thanks! I wasn't sure what to do with my bar...

[ihaspudding]

I stop it at my belly button and then bring it up is that okay?

[TranceDance2]

138,551 videos?? What the fuuuuckkk????

[MrApexVideos]

@TranceDance2 expertvillage is a company with thousands of computers. Dont be suprised

[xGunslinger7x]

well ive been watching alot of these ez bar curls and reverse barbell curls and was wondering why so many guys are using such light weight

[cinnawaffls]

@xGunslinger7x Just so they can show you good form without straining themselves.

[Spike579]

my ez crul bar is a stick with milk jugs at the ends :/

[godofuchiha]

u know how his biceps are "fully developed" where it stops at the opp. of the elbow...mine is not like that and its like 3 fingers away from where the arm bends...how can i get my biceps to grow there..i do workouts with straight bars and dumbbells but is there a special excersise i can do?

[NECROPHESSR]

@godofuchiha I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but doing reverse biceps curls will help you develope your bicep tendon closer to your elbow.

[speckyprick]

Does everyone train this slow? You watch How To videos and the training is slow as hell and then you watch videos of bbuilders, fighters and strong men and they all train faster. My rep speed is like 1sec up, squeeze and 1 sec down. (2 secs if im trying to be good!)

[TheMrFourteen]

@speckyprick he's trying to show you the exercise and by doing it slow, it allows you to analyze it better. you shouldn't do them to fast either. when you do heavier weights you might take a bit more time. if you go down too fast, you can hurt your forearms. your arms should be tight and controlled.

[zISavage]

@speckyprick you get a better workout also it you do it slower it makes the muscles work harder

[FPSSteel]

Can you do these with normal barbell curls as well?

[Specterr1001]

how did he get swole with that little weight on his bench, and curl bar lol jk

[adil3249]

man i do it daily and do 6 sets but sometimes my fingers get crush i wana make it bigger stronger and proper weight i am nervous aout foood can u tell m which food i should take xx man kooooolvideos

[adil3249]

man show me how to do it i gone make it strong and much bigger with proper focus

on it i do 6 sets daily is that ok? great videos

[joshwakeman]

so whats the difference between this and just using dumbbells?

[ShaneDyck]

@joshwakeman This is different because your hands are gripping the bar at a different angle than if you were to use dumbbells. Also, your arms are facing between your body because your grip is closer, meanwhile dumbbells you place on the outside of your body. I definately suggest this type of exercise for biceps. Works extremely well.

[joshwakeman]

@ShaneDyck alright cheers man!

[KoolDrewski]

Now, do the Carlton dance

[IamPinhead]

Carlton, since when did you start working out?

[goneberserker]

and elbows in kids



[K31TH3R]

Looks like a lot of weight on there, don't strain yourself bigman.

[6aoh]

how much does that Ez curl bar itself weigh exactly?

[horsey05]

@6aoh I have one and I weighed it. It's about 17 lbs. It is an olympic ez-bar.

[jowamovies]

i am 14 y old, my sport is judo and i am 1,75m my dad is 1,83 m can i start with lifting weights?

[SugaaarRush]

@jowamovies Id say 14 is a decent age just dont overdo it maybe like 2 times or maybe even 3 a week, dont over do it though.

[jowamovies]

@SugaaarRush k i will only use low weights btw but i think ill mostly just keep me bussy with push-up and sometiemes a weight :)

[mirrorpiece]

@jowamovies wait a year, then lift weights. Dont overtrain, do research about protein needs etc. Because if you dont, your just breaking yourself down. You can start right now by doing pushups and pullups.

[jowamovies]

@mirrorpiece ok ill wait doing atm 7 types of push- ups what about a teraband?

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@noodlez4me - lol wow i guess the abortion clinic in your moms hood missed one

[MrM16A41]

ok i just turned 15 the other day and i got a curl bar well right now i have 40 punds all together(including the bar) yet i have never worked out in my life would i be considered weak HELP guys thanks.

[Cnotes82]

@MrM16A41 No, you have to start somewhere...Just get to work and keep at it...Thats all that matters

[pam0077]

Actually, that is referred to as a "super" curl bar. "E-Z" curl bars have much less bend than what's being used here.

[Vladrad]

3 people don't have ez bar

[JKDspirit]

@Vladrad haha, lol. i got mine today, its epic

[commandar88]

norrow grip is for outer bicep*

[SuperFinchmeister]

YES finally someone who agrees with me. People never believe me when I say this works the inner head.

[skateman61496]

hey man if i lower my weight and do more reps will i have same results?

[aglskaterboy]

@skateman61496 nooo

[S0L0W21]

steroids!?

[cjsmitty08]

thumbs up for buffed out will smith

[Jojorai]

carlton banks got really big 

[Bob8199]

hate the preroll advertisment

[ASIANBOYZPRODUCTION]

i wish i have an arms like that!!

[nat0000ham]

steroids!!!!

[daanesh]

@nat0000ham There are people who have lean physiques who are smaller then this guy and they look natural but are using steroids...it depends on how big the person wants to get dude..not necessary that he'll become like Ronnie coleman if he does roids...Steroids are not magic,you need a religious diet to get big even when using them.

[bigOnuggets]

If Carlton and Sinbad had a son....anyway......nice vid......wish I could look like that. Not muscular, just dark. I am such a pasty biotch.

[gunslinger713]

Wish i had a bar like that, i just have a regular straight one.

[bitcheznhos]

the bigger muscles you have, does that make busting a nut even more powerful

[sk8terkd12]

is that carlton from fresh prince of Bel air??

[happydancer2009]

umm i dont think that works the inner... it actually works the outer.

[liljesseh]

u should put a video of u flexing

[ImaFreshhMann]

damm wen did Carlton from Fresh Prince discover a weight room,

[adheeshz]

Does any one know how to cut the top part of the bicep? like lose the fat arnd that area. Tuck in the upper arm bicep bit, so u get that curve ball look. My bicep is only cut in the bottom bit. i hope u understand wat im tryna say. if do please recomend me a vid.

[ThaBlemBoyz]

@adheeshz theres no need for a vid m8 if your saying you wanna lose fat to show off your biceps better, keep doing bicep workouts and to burn the fat you should do cardio and in time the fat will be gone.

[MnToaster]

CARLTON!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Oh shizzit, I totally forgot I made that comment haha. High 5* !! Anyone into self defense, folding knife reviews, martial arts with knives, survival kits etc., feel free to check out my new channel. ~Sensei Israel

[LurkLove]

this is how much expertvillage knows... lol the inner grip is for the outter bicep

[AKUMARI0]

Thanks for the tip

[Romairama8888]

Big biceps but no chest Lol....

[ObviousTrull]

Bench press is better.

[chaoticdays]

what do u mean inner biceps?

[gonearethedays2345]

@chaoticdays

your bicep is divided into two part, inner and outer

the "bi" in bicep means two

like your quadriceps "quad", four

and triceps "tri" , three

you can do different work outs to target you inner or outer biceps

[Romairama8888]

@gonearethedays2345 best explanation !!

[ObviousTrull]

@gonearethedays2345

no you can't. when you contract your bicep, both parts contract equally. you can't make one side contract more than the other.

[gonearethedays2345]

@ObviousTrull

you are right but when you do certain workout it uses one area move than the other even though its still working the other part too

[Ambushcrysis]

WHAT IS the difference between the EZ bar and Straight bar besides the easy on the wrists... why not just use the EZ bar all the time for curls???

[Crunchieman]

its just an alternative. its a good alt. because some people can get more reps out of it.

[TwoFourKingAce]

OUTER HEAD not INNER HEAD lol....just look it up, i don't see how they got this wrong as he's clearly a good bodybuilder

[mikebowden28]

carlton banks

[tcochavo]

can this paticular curl bar handle a heavier set of weight anywhere ranging between 130 to 180 pounds?

[madmike4898]

they can handle around 120kg .. they are nice sturdy bars .

[Total32]

i do15 to 20 reps is that okay?

[RussianMI6]

@Total32 i think for umm.. definition, if you want to have more mucels its, more or less lower reps arround 8-10, and high weight

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Will Smith is looking buffer than ever.

[LancerFootball58]

@WeAllJuggleKnives hahahahsahaaha

[JJonnyboy110]

@WeAllJuggleKnives

its actually Jazz from fresh prince :P

[sxsvbm]

@WeAllJuggleKnives More like Carlton is buffer! haha

[noodlez4me]

@WeAllJuggleKnives thats Carlton dumbass

[KingKushTV]

@WeAllJuggleKnives don't u mean carlton?

[omarespinoza]

no the ez bar is better for your wrists

[MrLau89]

shame i never said anything about not working your wrists or anything. i just said it works less more of a bicep.

[kredit787]

for outer bicep though, not inner

[S0L0W21]

@kredit787

huh?

[MFKRCROWS]

so hes using the ez bar here, but whats the difference between the ez and the straight bar? is one more effective then the other or is one just easier to use?

[OohTheHorror]

EZ curl bar is better for biceps and triceps due to the way the hands are positioned on the bar.

[davidbarnett2]

nothing extrememly significant... its just easier on your wrist. most people can lift a little bit more weight on the ez curl bar. and its not for novices... professional bodybuilders incorporate ez curl bars into their routines.

[batistabombiswwe]

ez reduces strain on the wrist

[muzimuzi]

Ok so from what i can tell its very simple:

holding close works on inner biceps while holding wide works on the outter part right? because some1 told me its the other way around

[deathmaker666]

it looks like you use mainly smaller weights... is that just for a easyer way to show us or do you actualy use that weight when your working out??

[aydoooo]

low weight high rep

[xylitol333]

any differences compared to using the straight bar? advantages and disadvantages to both?

[THEJACKAL09]

Another good tip, whenever you do bicep exercises, try to alternate each week between different types of exercises, that way, you'll be able to stress the bicep differently and maximize muscle growth. I personally do an alternating combo between EZ bar/hammer curls and Preacher curls/regular dumbbell curls.

[PS3GamerDude]

can anyone tell me if they sell EZ Curl Bars at Walmart?

[shellz1221]

yes they do

[Darkstar6638]

OMG i've been doing my curls on the easybar all wrong... :(

Well now i know...and knowing is half the battle :D

I'll be watching your vids they are inspiring

[Dro42194]
