Reverse EZ Bar Preacher Curl

Reverse EZ Bar Preacher Curl is an intermediate isolation pull using ez bar, bench. It loads Forearms.

Why this lift

The Reverse EZ Bar Preacher Curl is a intermediate isolation pull lift. It primarily loads Forearms. Biceps help. You need ez bar, bench. Most programs place it after your main compounds, as accessory work. You may also hear it called Reverse EZ Bar Preacher Curls.

Grips fail before backs do on heavy pulls. Train them if the bar is slipping before the set is over. Once the pattern feels automatic, most programs keep this as a weekly staple.
