In this video, Scott Herman discusses the debate between EZ bar bicep curls and straight bar bicep curls. He explains that both exercises target the biceps by flexing the forearm, but the straight bar curls also engage the biceps through supination of the forearm. This makes the straight bar curls superior in terms of maximizing bicep engagement throughout the entire range of motion. However, if you experience wrist pain or tightness, the EZ curl bar can be a helpful alternative. Scott suggests using the EZ curl bar while working on flexibility, and eventually transitioning to the straight bar curls once your flexibility improves. Overall, if you don't have wrist pain, sticking with straight bar curls is recommended for optimal bicep development.
