Nog een kleine toevoeging (sorry Tara) :
'When training the biceps brachii using a barbell, take into account cariations in each person's physical structure. [...] In the anatomical position (arms hanging alongside the body, palms facing forward, and thumbs pointing laterally), the angle at the elbow between the upper arm and the forearm varies from person to person. Someone whose forearm hangs distinctly away from the body in a valgus position must break excessively at the wrist when performing a curl with a straight bar, which is painful. Therefore, these people should work with an EZ bar to spare their wrists'.
En voor triceps:
'But the EZ Curl bar works fine for the lying triceps extension. The triceps is composed of three muscle
origins that share a common insertion on the olecranon process of the elbow, and the angle of the hand on the bar
makes no difference to the quality of the triceps contraction. The more prone grip afforded by the EZ Curl bar is
more comfortable for this exercise too, but does not in this case reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.'
