darrem did 150s for 10 easy reps on flat bench 2 weeks out of the olympia.

But wait, you do more, so ya, he's a weak little bitch

Mind you, Ronnie in 1997 was barely handeling the 140s on flat bench for 10 or so reps. So according to you, even Ronnie would be a weak bitch.

They're called "isolation exercises". Only a dork would try to max out on dumbbell flyes.

I was talking about Darrem's 30lbs dumbbell extensions and him struggling with 40lb dumbbell curls.   

From the look of his arms, he knows what he's doing.  He's a bodybuilder, not a weightlifter.

What would he look like without the drugs though?

Are you saying that you just stick to the same weight for your exercies once you get to a certain point?  You don't increase the weights you use?

I'm saying a guy like Darrem can do more with those 40 lb. dumbbells in terms of stimulating biceps growth, than less skilled and focused trainers could do with, say, 65 lb. dumbbells.

Exactly.

Look at the form his using

look at the concetration on his face.

He's back is 100 percent straight, elbows tucked into his sides on the curls, elbows locked on the extensions, going by the look of the pics, he is trained superslowly too.

Maybe you guys should start training this way too, and you might look a bit more asthetical.

Bodybuilding is about "stimulating" your muscles.

Really?  In 1997, Ronnie did 225 on the flat bench of 77 reps at the Arnold.  But I guess dumbbells are a different feel.

This was in his first training video after the olympia. He struggles a hell of a lot more with the 140s than he ever did with the 200s 3 years later, that's for sure

The weights you train with mean nothing in BBing - how long till people realise this?

who gives a fu ck if he's using 20,s? If he's a pro BBer he's doing something better than most of us here.

It's a well known fact that the amount of weight you can curl is high correlated with fighting ability  ::)

 How much weight is he required to use on a contest stage?  Is he in training for a powerlifting meet?  Or isn't it more like.... whatever he's doing has worked wonders for his arm development since they're definately a strong point.  Case closed.

there's a pic in the latest Flex of Darrem pressing 315 behind the neck fairly deep, don't know if the picture was staged or not but it's hard to believe that he's that strong.

Go ask Dave Tate or any Westside powerlifters; triceps work is probably their top priority (for the bench press). They perform at least 2-3 heavy triceps exercises twice a week.

You would expect a guy who's been on steroids and been a pro bodybuilder for years to be able to handle a bit more weight. 

Did it ever occur to you that those weights could possibly be warm up sets?

Forget it. You will never be a pro bodybuilder, you will never look like one and you have no f*ucking clue what it takes to get ready for a pro show and what some pros go through in terms of discipline.

By that pic he looks like he's a few weeks out from doing a show. pro's typically dont go heavy in the weeks prior to show for concern of a possible injury.

ok...I'm sure you can do more weight on bicep curls. But your form is probably dog shit with your ass poking in the air as you lift the weight and your spine bending backwards like a pretzel as you bring the weight up.

dickhead.....

Quote from: Darrem Charles in Jan 2006 FLEX
I focus on the individual muscle.  While pumping away at an exercise, I watch the muscle belly bulge and contract.  Throughout the set, I make sure I am not using leverage from my body or assistance from another joint or muscle group.  At the slightest sign that I might be letting the focus of the exercise stray from the muscle belly, I stop immediately, rest for a few moments, then begin anew with better concentration.  This focus has contributed to the muscle separation I'm known for.

Weak, or smart?  You figure it out, "Bast."  hahahaha, oh brother, what a name. ;D

Agreed.  Darrem is not weak by any means, but he's obviously the kind of guy who emphasizes perfect form and the mind-muscle connection, and hell he's a bodybuilder after all so who cares.  I couldn't imagine him doing his usual good clean reps with 315.
