“Strict curling, as a standalone exercise, is not typically considered a powerlifting movement. Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists of three specific lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. These lifts are standardized and performed with specific rules and judging criteria in powerlifting competitions.
While the strict curl exercise primarily targets the biceps and involves curling a barbell or dumbbell with strict form, it is not one of the three main powerlifting movements. Strict curling is more commonly associated with bodybuilding or general strength training routines aimed at developing the arm muscles.
However, it's worth noting that some variations of powerlifting competitions or strength events may include additional lifts or exercises beyond the traditional three. In such cases, strict curling could potentially be incorporated into a specific event or category. Nevertheless, within the traditional powerlifting framework, strict curling is not considered one of the main lifts in the sport.”
