no another kid, not as muscular or lean as this kid just big and country strong.

[QuakerOats]

there was a youtube of a 17 year old kid curling 100lb dumb bells with less swinging and a stricter negative. it was posted here

we're probably talking about the same kid, big, curly haired, goofy looking, huge boned kid throwing around the 100's like nothing for reps.

he is so high on something

probably, i don't remember what he looked like just he was one strong kid, not even considering his age. i'll go find the videos

he is so high on something

what do you think it was?  coke?

[QuakerOats]

i remember reading a story on here or another board about Levrone being a really heavy drinker pre contest and how he would lock himself in his bedroom and get drunk and play with army figures or something crazy like that, dude was definitely different.

that was the thread, the videos were taken down for some reason but he was squating 725, rowing 400 and hammer curling 100s like it was nothing without any swinging or leaning.

How was your business trip bro?

There are 4 X 10 and 1 X 7 1/2 pounds per side. The handle makes it up to 100. Very impressive.

[Straw Man]

is me...or does kev look a little high?

yep

that was the first thing I thought when I watched this

the dude can't even finish his sentence, then tries again and can't do it and then tries again and still can't make a coherent point

[calfzilla]

Big fucking deal................I`ve curled the 70`s for 5 reps seated with a much slower negative while weighing in at about 170 or so.

Yeah i dont think it is a big deal at all considering he is roided up and one of the top bodybuilders of all time. Hell even at 21 i was doing 65 and that was natural without being very muscular at all. No reason a guy that big on that many hormonas shouldnt be able to curl 100s.

I think Samuelson at his peak could do it quite easely.

I would say 315x 4 barbell curls = ~120-130 lbs db curls

[io856]

that form is pretty damn good too

is he drunk in that vid?

Would Heath be able to curl with 100s?

[CalvinH]

Back in the day bluto and MOS had an epic battle when MOS said he could curl 90's

Would Heath be able to curl with 100s?

Only thing he can curl is his toe nails at the pedicure salon.

Ridiculous momentum... really not that impressive at all.

What I would say makes it impressive is the fact that he is most likely on like no carbs and very minimal calories.

nah

[Figo]

There was a clip of a kid curling 150lb dbwith perfect form x 50 reps

Billy smith filmed it, jim quinn commented on it, jimmy pellechia vouched for it

[Cutlet767]

nah

Yah

Someone that big, 100lb curls for like 4 each arm is not impressive.

Exactly!

[thelamefalsehood]

Maybe its just me, but standing dumbell curls are MUCH harder than seated. I do mine seated and can easily do 20-30 pounds more that way. So, what Levrone does there is extremely impressive, at least for me.

[aesthetics]

what? standing curls are a lot easier because you will subconsciously involve your back and delts in the movement while with seated you are a bit more stationary. but i don't think there's that big of a distinction between the two, the only one that would really serve for a good comparison for determining someone's strength would be preacher curls where your elbow is fixed
