Eccentric-Accentuated EZ Bar Curl

How to do it

  1. Stand holding an EZ bar with an underhand grip.
  2. Curl the weight up with a normal or slightly fast tempo.
  3. Lower the bar slowly over 3-5 seconds on the eccentric phase.
  4. Focus on controlling the weight on the way down.
  5. Keep your elbows stationary at your sides.
  6. The slow negative creates greater muscle damage and growth stimulus.
