They did 3 seconds a rep. They observed the subjectβs trunk muscles and knees to make sure they werenβt cheating on these reps. β πMuscle Activation During the EZ bar curl and the barbell curl, they found that the bicep brachii and brachioradilais muscle had a slightly lower activation compared to the EZ bar curl but it was not significant. β πOverall The concentric phase of the lift had a greater activation in general while the eccentric phase had a lower activation overall. The EZ bar curl was most effective at activating the bicep brachii and brachioradilis. The reason this may be for the high activation could be due to the semiproned grip. β πEccentric Phase The brachioradilails activation compared between exercises was not significantly different. β πThe EZ curl and the barbell curl have very slight differences, so it may just end up being a matter of comfort as to which one you choose. β πOne exercise is not necessarily better than the other Let me know in the comments your thoughts! No questions is stupid! Just ask!
