Lifemaxx ergo bicep bar

The Lifemaxx Ergo curl bar is an ergonomic cable attachment for targeted bicep training at your cable station. The angled grip lets your forearms turn into a natural position, just like with a classic EZ bar, so you feel your biceps instead of tension on your wrists. A smart choice for anyone who wants to sharpen up their arm training on the cable.

The Lifemaxx Ergo curl bar at a glance

• Angled grip: relieves your wrists while curling, just like an EZ bar.

• Versatile: suitable for cable curls and reverse curls.
• Targeted arm training: works the biceps, brachialis and forearms.

Targeted bicep training on the cable

Training on the cable has an advantage that free weights do not offer: the tension on your biceps stays constant, from the bottom to the top position. The angled grip meanwhile keeps your wrists from overextending, even at higher weights. You attach the bar to your cable station and switch between cable curls for your biceps and reverse curls for your forearms and brachialis. This way you build complete, balanced arms.

Good to know

The curl bar works with a cable station; you set the resistance there. It is an isolation attachment that targets your arm flexors and so does not replace a complete workout. Combine it with a lat or tricep attachment for a full upper-body day.
