EZ Barbell Standing Wrist Curl
The EZ Barbell Standing Wrist Curl targets the forearm muscles, specifically the wrist flexors. This exercise helps improve grip strength and forearm development.
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding an EZ barbell with an underhand grip.
- Rest your forearms on your thighs, allowing your wrists to extend beyond your knees.
- Curl the barbell upward by flexing your wrists, keeping your forearms stationary.
- Lower the barbell back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
How to perform the EZ Barbell Standing Wrist Curl
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the EZ Barbell Standing Wrist Curl using your ez barbell.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
- 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.
