Reverse barbell curl setup: Grip the EZ bar at about shoulder width with your palms facing towards you. Stand straight up with your back straight and your mid section tensioned up.
Reverse barbell curl execution: Keep your elbows tucked into your sides, curl the bar up towards the top of your chest. At the top of the reverse barbell curl your forearms should be at about 90 degrees from the floor. Pause, slowly lower the barbell back down.
Tips: Always use an EZ bar for the reverse barbell curl. The EZ bar puts much less strain on your wrists throughout the movement.
Make the reverse barbell curl your last bicep exercise. As we mentioned before, the reverse barbell curl hits your forearms hard and you don't want to wear them out at the beginning of your bicep workout.
Focus on correct reverse barbell curl technique, no the amount of weight your lifting. This is another one of those bicep exercises that will benefit your muscles more if you focus on correct technique and not weight.
