Instructions

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.

2. Place an EZ curl bar in front of you on the ground and load it with the appropriate weight.

3. Bend at your hips and knees to grasp the EZ bar with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.

4. Keeping your back straight and core engaged, lift the bar by extending your hips and knees to a standing position. This is the deadlift portion.

5. Once standing upright with the barbell hanging in front of you, perform a biceps curl by bending your elbows and lifting the bar towards your chest. Keep your elbows close to your body and your upper arms stationary.

6. Lower the bar back down to the starting position of the curl while maintaining control.

7. Carefully bend your hips and knees to lower the bar back to the ground. This completes one repetition.

8. Repeat the full movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips:

- Keep your back flat and head in a neutral position during both the deadlift and the biceps curl portion of the exercise.

- Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form while maintaining control of the bar throughout the entire movement.

- Do not use momentum to lift the weight; the motion should be controlled and deliberate.
