You could not be more wrong and you would understand that in an instant if you tried it. Obviously when doing a standing barbell curl you can try to move as little as possible but as you said its as possible it is not strict your body is absolutely going to move some without the wall. It is absolutely much more difficult with a wall. Why do I have to argue with you idiots about it for 50 pages when you could try it and find out in 30 seconds you couldn't be more wrong but you just want to argue out of ignorance. By definition no wall it's a cheat curl whether you swing your butt and back a foot or just lean back an inch it's not strict and it is much much easier.


We have seen your videos of strict curl against wall. It is eye opening level of strength.

Like I said, in all the gym that I have been to, from east coast to west coast, from US to China to Europe, I have never seen anyone can standing barbell curl 150+ lbs without body against wall, without swinging body, without using momentum to throw the bar up, not even IFBB pros. What they use for standing barbell curl is usually in the range of 70-100 lbs.

I sincerely wish to have the opportunity to see how you can do it.

do a curl without a wall and dont cheat

Are you this fucking thick or deliberatly acting, I hope its the latter because if it isnt Im sure someone has to dress you every morning

If you did a strict curl against a wall you would understand that no matter how much you try and not cheat when standing your body is going to cheat.  It is a lot harder. Why do I have to explain this 1000 times when you can literally google strict curl and read the definition or try it and see that it is twice as difficult? You just keep arguing the same nonsense without any intent on actually educating or informing yourself for fuck sake try it today or google it today. It's not my job to explain the same thing to you 1000 times

Update.

Bhanky is responsible for 20% of the posts in this thread and 4.5% of all posts on the forum in 2023.

I know I`ve said it before many times over,but I`m not posting in this fucked up thread anymore.

You try to teach this guy anything or make a solid point and he argues his nonsense to infinity.

He always has to be right, even when he is wrong, which is most of the time.......he thinks this is his board and that he`s actually an important and integral part of it,as opposed to simply being the simpleton that he is and the forum punching bag.

Sure he draws views and comments like shit draws flies,cuz he`s a dickhead.........I`m not a fly so fuck this buffoon.

What draws me back here, is it`s impossible not to counter some of his bullshit "cocoon theories" and the like.......he`s almost entirely clueless for a guy that`s been "lifting" since he was 8 years old..........(another lie of course).

He thrives on attention whether good or bad, and can never give anyone any credit he`ll get no more attention from me,the arrogant asshole.

I`ll just bide my time until the day that I can piss on his grave in honor of pellius.

I`m out.......I`m too smart for this numbskull.

Yeah because there is always going to be a degree of swinging momentum without a wall hell even leaning back and inch makes a huge difference again by all means why don't you try it both ways and find out vs arguing about it for 50 pages? You absolutely will be able to curl more standing without a wall

So strict curl against wall is twice harder than standard standing barbell curl, and you have proved you can strict curl easily with 150 lbs, why can you show us and teach us how easy the standard standing barbell curl 150 lbs is? It should be effortless for you to exhibit your elite level performance.

I sincerely wish to learn from you.

Good luck tomorrow man, people you don't even know are pulling for you.

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

God bless.

Thank you gentlemen!  I am home now.  That was "fun".  I am not getting worse so that is better and they will continue to study me and monitor my condition.  They took more blood but only 4 vials.  I go in for some treatment next month which I am lookoing forward to.

I will have to look and read but I am guessing bhanky ignored my "advices".

Not arguing here. I know nothing about strict curl, that is not my field, I applaud for your strict curl strength. I admit I cannot do it.

But I sincerely wish to see you standing barbell curl 150 lbs.

This thread has 22.4% of all new posts this year.

Why? What will that accomplish? You will all then just argue all day that I used momentum and it wasn't strict enough. You could solve the great mystery yourself in 5 minutes try a standing barbell curl with and without a wall next time you train arms. You don't need me to convince you which is more difficult go find out for yourself. You will not be able to strict curl as heavy as you can standing barbell curl it's a fact if you don't believe me TRY IT

The original strict curl (odd lifts) was not done against a wall

But you don't seem to see that to achieve practically no movement, be as strict as possible you'd have to drop the weight down dramatically.
I didn't name "strict curl" "cheat curl" or "standing curl" they are all their own thing and you absolutely deliberately use more weight than usual in a cheat curl so I'm not wrong.
A standing curl is done where you use a weight comfortable enough not to have to swing or use momentum, i am not wrong there.
A strict curl is done so to minimise movement.
The arguement here is you couldn't handle the same weight you'd use in a strict curl to perform a standard barbell curl because you'd end up doing an obvious "cheat curl"

Again just nonsense from someone who has never tried it. Why argue all day about something you don't know anything about? Why not try it and see the difference yourself. I don't swing when I do standing curls I practically do a strict curl always have which is why my curls translate well to an actual strict curl. But it is still much easier to do standing than against a wall. Practically no movement is not the same as no movement it's a massive difference. Again if you don't believe me try it and find out. But you just want to keep arguing when you haven't tried it and the answer would be obvious if you tried it.

Isn’t that the point?

You strict curl more weight against wall.

You standing barbell curl less weight without cheating.

So standard standing barbell curl without cheating is harder than strict curl against wall.

If he can strict curl 150lbs  against wall, he absolutely cannot standing barbell curl without cheating.

Lol no. I was joking about actually counting them all. I used the forum stats section and the fact there are 25 posts per page to get the numbers.

Honestly my lifts are pathetic in comparison. Not impressive at all. You want to see something impressive? You want to see something insane? This is insane dude is under 200lbs looks like a normal guy and he is going to unofficially break the world record at our practice in 2 weeks I know it. He is off the charts with these lifts


So yeah I am going to take my curling advice from the guy doing world record body weight curls in practice

https://www.facebook.com/1012346393/posts/pfbid0nUcqpPGhJCj89wc8U32X5K4ddoQX15MK3Hopjir1QrL37GDtNJAxxDQoz4hPh8NTl/?mibextid=v7YzmG

It looks like he brings his elbows out farther from his sides but in the same plane then gradually squeezes the elbows closer together as he brings the bar upward. Is this on purpose?

Ok Brian so what weight are you using to do your standard barbell curl with no swinging, strict as possible?
Again just nonsense from someone who has never tried it. Why argue all day about something you don't know anything about? Why not try it and see the difference yourself. I don't swing when I do standing curls I practically do a strict curl always have which is why my curls translate well to an actual strict curl.

Doesn't matter. It was a sanctioned meeting and the lift was approved by the judges.

Or you can make the argument that there are different meanings to what a strict curl actually is.

I have tried both. I already told you I couldn’t strict curl against wall, that’s not my field.

I am an IFBB pro, I do standard standing barbell curl without cheating, and standing heavy weight barbell curl with cheating movement.

I have never seen anyone can do standard standing barbell curl without cheating over 150 lbs.

You said you could do it easily, and so you said strict curl against wall is twice harder than standard standing barbell curl, so it should be a piece of cake, could you show us how you can do the standard standing barbell curl without cheating with 150 lbs?

No I am done interrupting my workouts with nonsensical Getbig challenges. I am going to stick to my workouts and share what I do if you don’t like the workouts I share don’t do them.  Since you are an IFBb pro hopefully you will qualify and we can both compete at the Olympia this year.

If you are standing you are cheating you would realize that if you tried it against a wall it’s not just swinging it’s leaning the slightest lean changes everything it’s much easier standing without a wall again though you said you tried against a wall and couldn’t do what you did without the wall doesn’t that answer your own question??

You can strict curl against a wall you just have to use less weight because it’s harder
