One Side Loaded EZ Bar Curl (with assist)... there is more to this than just a simple single arm curl! This also strongly targets the supination function of the biceps AND gives you a serious forearm and grip work as well. I've got a 25 lb plate loaded on the one end and nothing on the other end. I'm gripping the bar right up near the plate and I'm using a single finger from the other hand to help stabilize the bar (more on this in a minute). The interesting thing about this setup is that the long, unevenly loaded EZ bar is constantly trying to pronate (rotate to a neutral position, in this case) my working hand as I'm curling. That means my biceps aren't just flexing my elbow, they're also fighting to maintain supination (palms forward/up)... and supination is one of the primary functions of the bicep. As I mentioned, I've got a single finger underneath the opposite end of the bar to provide just enough assistance to control that rotation. By changing how much pressure I apply, I can increase or decrease the rotational resistance on the fly, as needed. With a bit heavier plate, this would be more balanced, but I found 25 lbs (or less) to NOT be balanced in terms of the rest of the length of the bar. So this exercise combines elbow flexion, resisted supination, and forearm stabilization all into one exercise. Very quick and simple setup... defintely worth messing around with. --------------- Want bigger biceps? Try this free 3 week specialization program...
