There Are Three Main Bars You Can Use When It Comes To Biceps. And If Your Goal Is To Build Big Bulging Arms Then You Must Use All Of Them
The three main bars used when it comes to biceps are the straight bar
– the EZ bar – and the hammer bar. Each bar is as important
as the next. What is each bars function? The EZ bar is my personal favorite and it mainly focuses on the inner bicep head. There are 2 ways you can hold the EZ bar. You can hold it from the inner curve meaning with hands close together this is how EZ bar curls are usually done and this focuses on the inner head. Or you can hold it from the outer curve with arms at shoulders width. This still focuses on the inner head but also involves some of the long head of the bicep. I find this grip to be optimal for one main reason. Because of the slight bend in your hands when holding the EZ bar at shoulders width it keep the pressure on your biceps more than your forearms. That small curve in your arm allows the tension to be more focused on the bicep even when you cheat a little. Unlike the straight bar which involves a lot of the forearm because it's straight. The EZ bar forces the bicep to take most of the tension even though you are cheating. The hammer bar is least use but it should never be overlooked if you want complete biceps. This bar helps "connect" your forearms to your bicep giving it that full look. It also helps gain that outer split on your arms that separates the biceps from the triceps. So as you can see aesthetically this move is very important for the overall look of the biceps. Now that you know all the bars it is important to somehow involve all
of them in your bicep routine. Do no neglect any one of them.
