The EZ-bar biceps curl with an arm blaster is a strict isolation exercise that targets the biceps brachii, with the brachialis and brachioradialis of the forearm assisting. The arm blaster is a rigid plate hung from a neck strap that braces against your torso, locking your elbows in place so you can't swing or cheat — forcing cleaner, more controlled curls.

EZ-bar Biceps Curl (with arm blaster): So führst du sie aus

  1. 1Hang the arm blaster from your neck strap and rest the plate against your upper abdomen, with your elbows seated in the lower edge so your upper arms stay pinned in place.
  2. 2Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the EZ bar on the inner angled sections, palms facing up, hands roughly shoulder-width apart.
  3. 3Let the bar hang at arm's length with your elbows fully extended and braced against the arm blaster.
  4. 4Curl the bar up by bending only at the elbows, keeping your upper arms locked against the plate throughout.
  5. 5Squeeze your biceps hard at the top, with the bar a few inches below your chin and your wrists in a neutral, stacked position.
  6. 6Lower the bar under control back to full extension, resisting the weight the whole way down.
  7. 7Complete your reps, then set the bar down and remove the arm blaster.

Technik-Tipps

  • Use the angled grip of the EZ bar to keep your wrists in a more comfortable, semi-supinated position and reduce wrist strain.
  • Keep your elbows pressed firmly into the arm blaster from start to finish so all the work stays on the biceps.
  • Lower the bar slowly and deliberately — the eccentric portion is where much of the muscle-building tension lives.
  • Brace your core and avoid leaning back to keep the movement strict and the tension on the arms.

Häufige Fehler

  • Letting the elbows drift forward off the arm blaster, which turns the curl into a partial front raise and removes tension from the biceps.
  • Using too much weight and leaning back to heave the bar up, which defeats the whole point of the arm blaster and strains the lower back.
  • Cutting the range of motion short by not fully extending at the bottom, which limits stretch and biceps development.
  • Bending the wrists back at the top, which shifts load to the forearms and risks wrist discomfort.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What muscles does the EZ-bar biceps curl with arm blaster work?

It primarily works the biceps brachii, with the brachialis and brachioradialis of the upper forearm assisting. The arm blaster keeps the focus tightly on the biceps by preventing your upper arms from moving.

What does an arm blaster actually do?

An arm blaster is a rigid plate worn on a neck strap that braces against your torso and locks your elbows in place. This stops you from swinging or using momentum, so each curl is stricter and more isolated to the biceps.

Why use an EZ bar instead of a straight bar?

The EZ bar's angled grip lets your wrists sit in a more natural, semi-supinated position. That reduces wrist and forearm strain compared with a straight bar while still loading the biceps effectively.

How many sets and reps should I do?

For biceps growth, 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps with a weight you can control through a full range of motion works well. Keep the elbows pinned to the arm blaster and prioritize strict form over heavy loading.
