EZ Bar Curl

Trains biceps first, with real work landing on forearms.

Muscle contribution per set

Biceps1
Forearms.30

These are the weights Forge's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.

Strict biceps curl tempo; EZ bar reduces wrist stress while allowing heavier loading than straight bar for some.

Full supination or semi-supinated; control the negative.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps — small muscles, small increments, long patience.

Swap it for

Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.

Train with intention. Open Forge — it prescribes the weight, watches the reps, and does this arithmetic for every set you log.
