I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[muscle matters]

Some Real IFBB Pros already tried it

They are doing strict curl against wall.

Can you show us how you standing barbell curl 150 lbs, no against wall, no body swinging, no cheating with momentum?

[wes]

Hmmm...Nice "farticipation brophy", i.e., cheap looking, lacking in quality or genuine worth.

Looks  stupid.....almost like a crucifix on a stand.

How dumb?

REAL DUMB!!

[bhank]

ATTENTION.....YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT.....NOT LIKE A 230 POUND BODYBUILDER.

I know lightweights and middleweights that would crush you even at your full of feces weight of 230.

Full Of Feces Of Peace

Yeah everyone knows someone in better shape than me but they are never in better shape than me themselves do you see how that is not the same thing?

[AbrahamG]

Again I find it shocking getbig thinks lifting heavy weights and bodybuilding are not the same thing. Its like dudes thinking BJJ, Sambo, Judo, Greco, Freesytle are all different things they are just different names and styles for the same fucking thing. Lifting heavy shit and getting big are two sides to the same fucking coin

You have mistakenly jumped to conclusions. Never suggested what you implied. Merely haven't heard you talk about getting on stage again in recent months.

[Never1AShow]

I can but I am not going to bother I will show my next actual work and training I do I am not going to interupt my training with stupid getbig challenges especially when they are based out of ignorance go educate yourself instead of arguing with me

Legs and hips cannot be used to complete the lift.  Please post further curl videos without baggy sweats to disguise this.

[wes]

You got a 3 foot trophy for taking 4 out 4 in the local munckin division. If I even compete at the Olympia it is a bigger accomplishment.

All of those guys would have beat you if you showed up like you did in your contest....all are over 40 and I`m over 50......FUCKFACE!

[wes]

You`re simply lean with terrible proportions,no symmetry,missing and torn bodyparts and can`t even hit a mandatory lat spread.

Yup,you are awesome!!

[AbrahamG]

Only way to settle this is via the thong this summer in Pittsburgh. Steak dinner on me afterwards.

For me it is about the training and strength and size and power gains anyway I know I will get stronger as I am more motivated and following a training program with this

Good.  You are strong on this lift.  Very strong and I understand the reasoning behind the whole "wall" thing.  But as I have told you before, people here were happy for you when your entered that first contest and somehow you managed to deliberately turn that around by being an ass. 

I can understand being upset and wanting to be liked but being a jerk is not going to get that.    Wes is a good man.   So is IroNat and many, many others here.

Me?  I am a  dumb crippled old guy that needs his family to proofread for me.  Fortunately I have a sense of humor because my mother taught me that there is always someone worse off. 

Right now I'd say that someone is you, young man.  I fear that upon reading this or anything else that adjures you to behave you will continue to do as you desire rather than as you deserve.

I have to say goodnight now as tomorrow is a big hospital day for me and I am quite nervous about it.  No food or water after midnight so it is time for my medicines.  In the early morning I will read IroNat's thread on training because it inspires me.  I will read some of Wes' postings too and for the same reason. 

Try to be  an inspiration not another random instigation.  I am looking like an idiot right now.  Sorry guys. 

[Flexacon]

It's not that hard

Cheat curl = most weight

Strict curl without the wall = least weight

Strict curl against the wall = somewhere in the middle

Almost no one does heavy "Strict curls without the wall" though. It's not a great exercise for training or gaining size and it's not really suitable as a competitive lift as it would be difficult to judge a clean/strict lift.

Good luck my brother....I hope the docs give you some positive news.

God bless.

This is actually interesting.
I assumed strict curl against the wall is hardest but thinking about it, it would give outward force. Stabilizing and supporting you. Now I've done both strictly, against a wall and just standing but never gone for max weight to know what the difference would be in both positions.
I'm guessing it would work similar to say leg extensions, if you did extensions with 100kg so 50 per side and then stood up and attached a 50kg weight to your ankle, lifted your leg and tried to extend it in the same manner,  I'm presuming it'd feel a whole lot heavier and maybe not possible...

Yes, stabilizing against the wall helps.

If you're trying to do 1 rep a max 'Strict curl without the wall' you'll eventually end up doing a cheat/drag curl if you can't get the weight up easily using "strict" form. You can never give the lift max effort as you'll inevitably end up cheating the closer you get to your limit. You sacrifice max effort for form to get a strict lift.

The wall allows you to stabilize, but also allows you to strict curl with max effort, just keep your back, butt, head on the wall and go all out on the lift. Remaining braced against the wall stops you cheating and you either make the lift or you don't.

[BB]

If I wasnt keeping my ass and back on the way the weight would have flown up like it was nothing for reps you fucking moron

No Hankins, I'm sure you're imagining you'd have a bad ass power curl like Ricky Bruch here -

.

But in reality, you haven't got the weight, nor full body power to do it. Just like you don't have the power to standing press #155 or squat #405. You'd get walked backward by the weight, if not sat on your ass, if not tearing your bicep.

Heck, it might even cause a rupture of your poor O ring leading to death, knowing the weird way you get injured.

One thing that curl wouldn't be is under control. It would beat you up worse than Clegg.

Also -

.

Man that is a bad trophy. Hankins, you're rich, kick some money up tp your curlfriend, so the whole thing doesn't look so podunk. It looks like a junior high woodshop project. Was it competing with a tool box or bird feeder?

No,157 is your limit.

[webstar]

How was I proven wrong seated standing whatever 150lbs is nowhere near my limit

A standing military press would crumple your lower back and legs.

I thought you had bone on bone knees? Or was this a lie as well.

Now all of a sudden doing a standard overhead press is easy work on your repaired shoulders.

GTFO.

Why aren’t you answering the curl contest drug stack.

I’m guessing because you don’t want your drug cycle leaked prior to your event must be that much gear

Again it’s not my job to explain how a strict curl is harder than a cheat curl anyone of you could simply try it and find out  it instead let’s argue about something none of you apparently have tried for 20 pages and I can rep 155lbs that is not going to be a heavy press for me but regardless you will all claim  my lift isn’t perfect no matter what I do

[GymnJuice]

How will Hanky make weight for the summer bodybuilding competition and also be in fighting shape for the Clegg rematch? Aren't they both around the same time?

[bhank]

You have mistakenly jumped to conclusions. Never suggested what you implied. Merely haven't heard you talk about getting on stage again in recent months.

They don’t have any contest all winter the last shows are in the fall and the first ones are in the spring also I have stated many times the shows I would be interested in are mid summer or later and it depends how my training is going at that time
