I usually curl about 65-75 lbs on the straight bar or ez curl bar. I always try to use perfect form and do them slowly.

finally an honest poster.

Because it encourages people to lift more than they can reasonably handle with good form. And when you lift with poor form, your progress will be for shit. (not to mention you'll probably injure yourself)

Like Bob Chick says, "It's not how much you can lift, it's how much you look like you can lift" (btw - that's the only time I'll ever agree with bob on anything)

Hope this helps.

sounds to me like youre one of these people, so go back to your pink dumbbells

I can't BB curl anymore due to wrist problems but i can do hammer curls with the 80's for 8-10 reps if i do them first in the routine.

I usually put about 10-15 lbs on each side of the straight bar or a 25 on each side of the ez-curl bar (which I think weighs about 20-25lbs).

I curl like shit, but then again im more interested in building size rather than strength. dumbells: 45 tops/ barbells 120 max

6/8 reps minimal.

I used to curl more with a little more swing in my form. I am not really concerned about how much weight I can lift now; form is more important.

G.R.H. · « **Reply #64 on:** July 29, 2007, 01:59:13 PM »

not much! but i can bring you done with my grip!

rckpytn · « **Reply #65 on:** July 29, 2007, 03:09:55 PM »

Where do you work out that they have a pair of not only 61 pound dumbells AND 77 pound dumbells? I mean do they have 150 pairs of dumbells there or something?

Camel Jockey · « **Reply #67 on:** July 29, 2007, 06:50:35 PM »

barbell curls 115 lbs.

dumbell, maybe 50's with decent form and 55's sloppy.

I dont know SF, i was reading some threads on the power lifting boards, and i couldnt believe how many "lifetime natural" 500 pound benchers there were.

hahahahaha, i love how these clowns say, "a few years ago when i was juicing and 266 pounds i benched 500 for 8 and curled 150 pound dumbbells, now that i went clean and dropped 100 pounds i'm curling 27.5 pound db's but honestly i thought everybody curled 150 pound db's it's really nothing special"

i did the 100 lb for 2 reps with pretty bad form, which is not that good. had i done like 6 reps good form then it would be impressive. and 85 lbs for 8 reps isnt that uncommmon, i have seen several people do that.
