I bet that I can curl more than you

[TerraNoble]

Wanna bet?

Just kidding. I dont care if you curl 50 lb or 150 lb, just out of curiosity, no contest whatsoever..

here are my fair numbers:
DB 55 ,10 reps,correct form
BB 100, 6-8 reps,correct form

 

[bigdelt69]

Not bad, but I wouldn't go as far to say that you can out do everyone

I like to use 135 on the bb and go for 3 sets of 8 with good form. Never gone above the 50lb db though.

 

[big_bad_buff]

i'll bet you

 

[SAGAT]

alright i'll give you guys a laugh;

110 for BB (5x5)
50# DBs for 2x 6-8 (these are hammer curls though)

 

[nclifter6feet6]

i can cheat curl 205 for a couple reps. i can dumbell curl the 85's for about 8 reps with some lean and swing. all my other lifts suck.

 

[Canadian Jelly]

30lbs for 8.. lol,

 

[DrBones]

100lb straight barbell for 7-8
EZ curl bar around 105 for 7-8
I havn't used heavy dumbells in friggen ages...
My biceps fuckin blow...

 

[Tarheel]

About 90 for 7 or 8 on the EZ curl bar with good strict form.

The only dumbell curl I do is dumbell preachers and I use 40s for that, partial reps of about 8.

Biceps are small muscles. . . it doesn't matter how much you can curl.

Many people who use big weights still have terrible bicep development.

Yeah havinig big arms is not my my goal, but I'll play along
dumbell curls with 60lbs and flat bar curl 135 for 5-6

 

[jeremys]

i agree with louden

 

[barbell265]

I will say that biceps are definatly the money for the women. I can't deal real well with the guys that have great looking pipes and no wheels at all and a marathon runners chest, makes me laugh really.

I can hit 75lb DB's alternating, standing; 165 e-z curl with arm blaster for 3-4 a little lean involved.

I started last week going supper slow on my bi's last week as I heard that bi's are slow twitch and need to be work slower. I did 55 3x5 today on the incline bench, hammers.

 

[Lift Chief]

115 on the straight bar for 4 reps cheating just a bit.

 

[HulkRow]

i bet you i can "side-raise" more than u.

 

[Greek Freak]

I used to be able to curl my bodyweight...but then I realized I never wanted to be a bodybuilder and having a strong curl means nothing, for me its about how I look. I didnt even train my bi's for a couple months cause they were getting wrecked in my back workouts. I can curl the 80's for a few alternating now, and prob 165 for a few on the easy bar, there's no use in going heavy though. I do a lot of isolation movements(machines, preachers) and work with the 50-55 lbs dumbells most of the time.

 

[b fold the truth]

You guys do curls?

B True

 

[gymtime]

30lbs for 8.. lol,

Congratulations on being the only honest post on this thread!!

 

[coolcolj]

50lb x 4 is my current PR on dumbell curls

Is it that there is no development or simply their genetics dont cause their bi's to stand up? If they are moving big weights with strict form they have good bicep development its just their genetics hides that fact. I have decent sized arms, but they sure dont look like it(well not to me anyways). My bi's are very long and go solidly from elbow to shoulder so it appears i have a very flat arm. That doesnt mean I dont have decent bi's, its just my genetics dont make them as appealing as someone whose bi's attach further from the joint.

FYI I use 70lb bumbells for concentration curls, 5 reps, seated, bent slightly at waist with elbow on inside of thigh.

I have the exact same attachment problem. There's a respectable amount of muscle, but its pulled so tight, it looks horrible.

I used to be able to curl my bodyweight

Is this possible
