Post by: The Squadfather on November 17, 2006, 07:02:14 PM: that sure didn't look like 255, looked more like a 45,25 and a 10 on each side of the bar.

It's funny, when the BoB (Battle of Biceps) was happening, I thought it was great... the crowd was going nuts... people were screaming... real cool entertainment ;D

When I saw Quinn's first few dumbell curls, I thought it looked kind of funny, but I still didn't know for sure.

Afterwards, I actually lifted all the weights that were used. If I remember correctly, the dumbells were @ 45 lbs +/-. The barbell had a real 45 pound plate on each side but the other plates were fake. I'd guess it was 175 +/-

That show was 16 years ago, but I think my numbers are real close. I do remember it was a blast to work and still have some good friends that I first met at that event.

As frustating as it may be, it makes sense, why would they risk muscle tears or injuries.

Those 100 curls looked too easy. I'm sure the 21" measurement was more like 19 1/2... if that.
