That sounds about right, but curls are one exercise were people form differs so much that sometimes curl weight is very relative to the person and their form, 50 for high reps with text book form is more impressive than swinging 65's just imo.

Also you need to consider the arm-length, someone with longer arms has more difficulty with curling 60lbs than someone with short arms.

I would usually agree, but sometimes i think taller folk have better leverage for curls, usually you see suck at pressing movements and then somewhat exceed expectations in curls...maybe its just at my gym.

depends on the dude..if some tiny fuck is using good form with 50-60lbs that's impressive versus some fatass doing them. Once in a blue moon I'll do hammers up to 80-90lbs for a few reps but never anything above 6.  Biceps grow enough from back work that they don't need alot of attention. It doesn't matter how much you curl, your arms will only get huge if you're genetically gifted to have big arms.  :-\

As a matter of fact I'm still recovering from last weeks training.

a lot of so called "curls" with the 70's, 80's and beyond would turn into 40's and 50's if the palm was kept facing up the whole time, anyone can do big db curls in the traditional twisting the hand form.

too many muthafcukers in the gym are throwing big dumbbells up instead of curling them. it's rare to see anybody curling the proper way. you can benefit way more curling a 40lbs dumbbell properly than throwing 70's all over the place.

He is hitting 315# on the incline for 2-3 perect reps in contest type shape-there is no way he is clean, no way.

If he was off season maybe-a big maybe, but no way at 5% BF.

much stricter and is THE TRUE SIGN of how strong your biceps really are, this twising the wrist, leaning into the working arm, reverse power clean bullshit makes me laugh every time i see it, if you work up to handling a pair of 60's with your palm up the whole time you're gonna have some big strong biceps.

No, I'm realistic and detest liars mainly. Everyone always brings up the "You're limiting yourself" argument. Not at all. If you can't be satisfied with achieving a physique like Reeves, J-Rod, etc. (who wouldn't?) and be proud of the fact that you did it naturally than....take steroids. Simple as that. La Cour acknowledged using pro-hormones already and several people on other forums that actually know him have said he's done a lot more than that.

Here's some real, natural numbers:

I'm 5'8" or 5'9" and my weight fluctuates between 145 and 155.

I do 5 strict curls with 50 pounds.

My arms were 16 inches when I measured them a year ago.

I'm starting to work triceps a lot more to bring up my arm size. It's something I neglected when I started training.

Title: Re: Whats a respectable weight for Dumbell Curls
Post by: ASJChaotic on October 14, 2008, 08:48:14 PM
Me.

210 pounds fully depleted 4 days before a contest, at 5'10". I could do the 45s for 7 strict reps (alternate, with twisting of wrist on the way up. It's in my journal). Arms measured just a hair over 17 inches at that weight.

At offseason weight of 255 lbs, I did 60 pounds for 4 reps each arm, alternate, strict, with twisting of wrist (that was 2 years ago. Stopped doing all curls 2 years ago. No cheat reps. If I cheat, set is over. At the time, my arms measured 18.75".) I have no idea what I could do now. Probably not much better, if at all. 

Stopped direct arm training due to elbow tendonitis. It's a bitch.  
does it get better?
