Barbell curl weight?

[Lee]

Just curious to what you guys do on barbell curl? I just started using 90 yesterday, im a huge puss.

I don't do them anymore but when I did anywhere from 95-175lbs depending on how many reps I was doing. Don't worry about the weight you have to start somewhere.

175!? jesus, thats freakin insane.

 

[Scotsman]

Eh, you'll get there just keep working. I have always had very strong arms so that started me out a little ahead.

This week Im supposed to do 150lbs for my 3x5 and 140lbs for my set of 8. Not going to be easy. Im really trying to keep my form tight on these and not turn it into a back workout.

Me personally? Never do them. But best I can do standing DB curl is 40 for 5. Darn long limbs.

Ya wanna talk sick weight? This dude on the HST forums preacher curled 200 for 3 reps!

They are really hard on my wrists. Before i stopped doing them, i was at 95x8 and 105x5... not too bad, but they destroyed the wrists.

i have really thick wrists, but small forearms, i hate it. but not much hurts my wrists so its not that bad.
