work up to a set of 5 with 165 (cambered bar of 25 lbs, and a 45lb and 25lb on each side) natural


220 sounds legit if on....

Hell, even I've done two wheels. But Meso's right - that shit just farks up your elbows. Close-grips and dips FTW!

not trying to "pick on you" cause i think you're a good dude but i think you get a little carried away with your claims sometimes.

Ha! I see where you're going. I meant one a side: two total. My mistake. You want something stupid? Couple years ago, I got was using one aside with straight bar for lying extensions. Couldn't figure for the life of me why my elbows felt like they were cancerous. What a maroon.   8)

I have used a 160 pound DB in the past for 8-12 reps.

I've never done them heavy with a barbell, murders my wrists.

47 kg's for 3 sets of 6 on the curl-bar

But I get better results just cranking out the reps at lower weight and going for volume. My elbows seem to prefer it as well.
