To Curl or not to Curl, is it that EZ

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/06/11, 04:26 PM Okay so it's not THAT clever. My question is when to use, and not to use an Ez curl bar. Should I use it with all curls? I noticed that ft suggests using it on some exercises but not others. Are there side effects of using it too much? Also all I can tell that it does is isolate my forearms more and hurt less. Is there any other reason TO use it? ---------------------------- Practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice does.

And does it affect gains based on what Arnold said? -------------- Practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice does.

I guess it all depends on the hand position when doing these exercises...although I would tend to actually have better form using the ezbar than the normal straight bar. Maybe it's just me... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
