How to: Band EZ Barbell Close grip Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band in both hands with a close grip.
- Position your elbows close to your torso and keep them stationary.
- Curl the band up towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows stationary.
- Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then lower the band back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Flaring elbows away from the body.
- Using too much weight and relying on body momentum.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the curl.
Modifications

Tips
