How much is Arnold curling here?

the vince's gym famous fake dbs

BRAINS!!!!!

[Ropo]

Looks like 75kg /165lbs/ plus the weight of the bar/15 or 20 kg/.

There is at least 3 size of plates in the picture, so what are they? Largest seem to be 50 lb, then 2 x 25 lb and 4 x 12.5 lb per side + weight of the bar, meaning 300lb + bar.

There aren't any #50's on the bar(standard #50's are pretty close to Olympic #45's in diameter), but its hard to judge the weight on these bars. #25's and #20's are close enough, so are #12.5 and #10's. So I'll just go with heavy .

I'm thinking about opening up a gym with only fake weights. It would be a sanctuary for boosting the egos of emotionally fragile off-cycle bodybuilders.

There is some olympic size 20 and 10 lb plates at my gym, made from some kind of foam-material. 20 lb is 3" thick and 10 is 1", but diameter is full size. Biceps curls look impressive when using bunch of those, sheer size gives you some boost to do few reps more.

i get 2x 25lb, 4 x 20lb, 2 x 15lb,  6 x 10lb plus a 25lb bar = 245lbs.

Now with my quad injury I can only do sitting bi exercises.....it's a back-down-to-earth experience how little weight can be moved in a very strict no-cheating sitting db curl set of 15 reps.......

Are you blind, gimmick ? Saying that strict form lowers weight extremely.

Seriously.  And those small curl bars barely weighed 20lbs.  Sometimes even less.

I think this was in prep for the '75 O. How much is on the 45 pound bar?

Around 14 plates.

Yes, you are smoking crack. This is what 315 lbs looks like. Arnold is not curling that. My guess is he is curling around 120 lbs there.

And you would be wrong.

Dear child, at the page one of this thread is this picture about those weights:



Only morons like you could mix those to olympic plates and barbells..

There is dimensions in that York Barbell ad: "Largest plates are 18" ", so 100 lb and 75lb are both 18", and 50 lb plate must be smaller = largest plate on the picture of Arnold..or not. We never know..
