Welcome to the world of gains, where we sculpt our bodies and build biceps that have their own gravitational pull. Today, we're diving deep into the realm of triceps, those muscles that scream "powerhouse" louder than your alarm clock on a Monday morning.
If you're a proud owner of a home gym and an EZ bar, get ready to elevate your triceps game.Before we dive into the workout wonderland, let's unravel the mystery behind the EZ bar. "EZ" doesn't stand for "extra zealous," though that's how you might feel after a killer session. It actually refers to the ergonomic design, featuring a zigzag shape, offering multiple grip options that make it EASY to use. Get it? This nifty bar is the secret weapon in your arsenal, specifically designed to keep your wrists comfy and your gains on point.
