Best Biceps Curl Hand Position: EZ Bar or Straight Barbell ??

Best Biceps Curl Hand Position:

"In my previously-posted video, The Best Exercise Tip for a Dumbbell BICEPS Curl, I explained how turning your palms upward during the curling motion fully engages the biceps muscle.

In other words, your biceps can work harder when your palms are facing straight up.

Lets take this principle to the gym, by watching Joe Six-Pack do a popular exercise, a curl with an EZ-curl bar. Instead of his palms facing straight up, they are now facing slightly inward making it a little easier on the wrists, but also a little easier on the biceps. With an EZ-curl bar, the biceps are never fully contracted and, in Joes case, the shape of the bar also forces his hands to be a little too far apart.

If you really want to fully contract your biceps during curls, which you should, youre probably better off going with a straight bar instead. Youll be able to position your hands in line with your elbows and shoulders and also assure that your biceps muscles are fully contracted, because your hands are fully supinated, or palms up, throughout the entire movement.

So whats the point? A bent bar isnt bad; its just not the best!"
