I think the world record in the strict curl is 250lbs, or there abouts. To put it in perspective.

Huge Nasser does 255:

the post referred to strict curls, not reverse grip upright rows to waist level.

They're relatively strict, have you seen the video?  The screenshot isn't at the top of the rep, but that doesnt mean he only brings it up halfway!  He also does 215 strict.

haha does this fool question the great huge nasser el sonbaty?

i hope not, but it sure looks like it

seems like everytime you turn around there's another poster talking about how common it is to see guys benching 500 for reps, squatting 700 for reps and pressing 315 behind the neck for reps so where are these gyms because i've seen less than a handful of guys in my life do these things? here's what i'm talking about.

LA FITNESS ....... that's where all of the HARDCORE people train! Heck, i saw a guy do 15 reps with the BeautyBells! They're crazy I tell ya, CRAZY

Military gyms usually seem to have bigger, stronger guys. I mean, not "Here There Be Monsters" bigger and stronger, but decidedly higher caliber than the civilian gym rat at Bally's

In the comps in strict curl you stand against a post and there is absolutely no knee bend allowed. Shit, I have done reverse cleans with 250 also. Not a strict curl by any means.

Levrone benched 500 for reps full rom....unbelievable

[funk51]

you want hardcore google nazareth barbell co. mike miller guy only squats 1220 which last time i checked is the record.

[MoralMan]

I train at a gym West of London that has 3 reigning UK champion powerlifters amongst its memebers along with strongmen and olympic lifters and the weights i heare are common as shit on here ive seen maybe 3 times in 5 years of training!
2 guys a 500lb raw bench, and most behind neck ive seen is 265 for 8.
Ive seen a guy raw squat 700lb but that was for a single.

[gtbro1]

  I have no desire to ever attemp 315 lbs behind head press. or bench 500 lbs...my shoulders hurt just thinking about it.

Maybe the 315lbs behind the neck on a smith machine, but I can't someone benching 500lbs for reps and squatting 700 for reps. Pro's don't even really do that. Hell, Ronnie did 495lbs for reps in his redemtion video on the flat bench and he's one of the strongest bbdr's ever. People highly exaggerate.

So.  Huge Nasser did the same for Incline.

It's about the same level of strictness as other pros who curl 155 in their videos.

When I worked out at Golds about 10 years ago I don't recall seeing that many people benching more than 315 or so. Every gym has a few strong dudes I guess, but most people just go there to lose weight, use the machines, etc.

If you want to see big numbers in the bench, squat and dead, just go to any APF/APC, WPO, UPA, IPF powerliftint event.  Of course these are with gear (suits and some wraps), but even the women are putting up huge numbers.  Check out http://www.powerliftingwatch.com/all-posts

I curl 315lbs all the time. The first time I did it, I was training with Lee Priest. You see many people in Hawaii throwing that weight around like feathers.

I know a handful of guys that workout at NazBar.  That's a haven for power lifters.  Alot of strong men and women there.
