Curling events lined up all year? Feb 25th, March 4th, July 6/7 and then November? Seriously, I'm terrified of the injury potential here. The entire course of modern bodybuilding was changed when Tom Platz tore his bicep in 1982, think it over.
I am actually looking at the march 4th event not Feb 25th event that is closer to me and at Wilmington Beach which is more fun than middle of nowhere NC where the Feb 25th event is being held. That is with the Rogue bar and 365 Powrrlifting then July is in the Gopher Bar with SCN. Hopefully I am at a qualifying lift by July for the Olympia in late November in Florida that is the goal. But if I can set some state and age group records that would also be nice.
Honestly I really don’t feel in any danger of tearing a bicep the lift starts fully extended if you can start the lift the bicep can handle it. People get tears when they start contracted and then extend too much weight. It’s those slow heavy negatives that tear biceps as they over extend too heavy on a weakened muscle the muscle is full strength at the extended portion when you start extended much safer. People get tears starting preacher curls at the top too heavy then extending not safe. Starting the curl at the bottom is much safer
