EZ Curl Bar

How do you pronounce it???

I say: Eazy Curl Bar
but loads of people I know say: Eee zed Curl Bar

I know its random but it bugs me, hahaha

my thinking was that the shape of the bar takes strain off the forarms..... hence EZ (easy)

(wonder if this will cause an argument

)

I calls it Eeeeezeee curl (not to be confused with easy

)

Actually, I think Rip mentioned in the second edition of SS that the EZ bar, while taking pressure off the wrists also takes the emphasys off training the GUNZ in the manner that a straight bar wouldn't. I think he said that placing the heel of the palm on the bar, taking a slightly wider grip and keeping the wrists in line with the forearms would get rid of most of the wrist issues that necessitated the use of the EZ.

I've never used one due to some strange crossfit-induced guilt that I've yet to shake off

, although I have been known to do some "elbow flexor prehab" with dumbbells :ph34r:

Good, its not just me then

I am a fan of the EZ bar but I do like to mix it up with the straight bar and the fat bar, although that said, I try not to concentrate on the biceps too much. It is only a small group of muscle and easy to overtrain.

Who cares? :ph34r:

"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

Charlie Brooker & Chris Morris.

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"

Here endeth the lesson.
