Seated SZ curls
Additionally, you have the option to incorporate seated SZ-Curls into your training plan. However, it's important to note that these are explicitly not the well-known Scott-Curls, where a Scott bench is positioned in front of you. If you're looking for a bit more variety, you can quickly transform this exercise variation into concentration curls with the EZ bar. The next section will focus on the body position and execution of movements during seated SZ-Curls.
Body position
For seated SZ-Curls, you only need a weight bench or another seating option and the EZ bar. Sit at the end of the weight bench, spreading your legs outward, with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Keep your back upright, slightly arched, while facing forward. Grab the EZ bar with an underhand grip, starting by placing it on your thighs. Keep your upper arms and elbows close to your body.
Movement execution
To initiate seated SZ-Curls, engage your muscles. Now, bend your forearms upward at the elbow joint. Ensure that your upper arms and elbows move minimally. Exhale during the upward movement, and it concludes when the EZ bar is in front of your chest. Inhale and return to the starting position, ensuring the EZ bar remains consistently tense in the arm muscles and is not placed on your legs.
Stressed muscles and common mistakes
Additional information about the involved muscle groups and common errors during the execution of seated SZ-Curls can be found on the webpage dedicated to SZ-Curls.
