EZ-Bar Drag Bicep Curl
Description
The EZ-bar drag bicep curl is a variation of the drag curl using the angled grip of an EZ bar. The bar drags up the front of the body while the elbows pull back behind the torso. This removes most front delt involvement and places nearly all the work on the biceps. The EZ bar is also wrist-friendly compared to a straight bar.
