    Bar Curls - Core Stability

    Whenever I do EZ-Bar / Barbell Curls I'm really wobbly and feel my core having to stabilize as opposed to feeling a burn from tension in my biceps. So instead I just do concentration curls and other stuff sitting down. My question is: Would doing standing bar curls improve my core stability...
