EZ Bar Seated Wrist Curl

Perform the EZ Bar seated wrist curl to strengthen your forearm muscles.

  1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Hold the EZ bar with an underhand grip, resting your forearms on your thighs.
  3. Allow your wrists to extend downward, then curl the bar upward by flexing your wrists.
  4. Lower the bar back to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the EZ Bar Seated Wrist Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the EZ Bar Seated Wrist Curl using your ez barbell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your forearms rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
