EZ-Bar Seated Wrist Curl
Description
The EZ-bar seated wrist curl is a forearm flexor isolation move performed seated with the forearms resting on the thighs. The angled EZ-bar grip is wrist-friendly compared to a straight bar. Only the wrists move, isolating the forearm flexors for direct grip and forearm growth.
