Beowulf posted a thread containing a bunch of videos from the "Fit Show" I think? There is a guy doing an arm workout on there. Watch that video. He talks about not going real heavy on curls and NOT incorporating your front delts by raising the weight higher than it needs to go. Great videos. I learned some new moves for the gym. Go check them out. I was at 90 lbs. for 8 but now I'm going to go lighter and fry those suckers.
the guy that started the thread.:blink:
I guess I meant, what does it matter though?
I prefer DB's as well, as the straight bar curls kill the wrists. I did 65lbsx10x5x3 RP'd with the DB's last night. I slightly lean to the side I curl with, but the cheating is pretty minimal. And just so you all know, the heavier the weight, the harder it is to stay strict. Even the strong, huge guys cheat a little.
Just friendly conversation man, sorry if I offended you.:run:
lol
I hear ya man, I have a home gym so I can't compare to anyone.... I tried the gym thing a few years ago but it got to out of control with the youngsters..... I look at it this way.... Congrats to the person who can curl 90, 120 lbs or what ever it is.... I'll probably never get there at my age, but as long as I see progress in size and some strength, I'm happy..... Could you imagine if I asked how much you guys could bench press? The range would be from 100 lbs to 500+ lbs.... At least with the curls you can get a closer average.lol
Not at all my man.
But there are always newbies browsing the site and whatnot and I hope they don't start looking to compare their numbers to that of the guy next to them in the gym. I see it all the time in my gym with kids pushing weight they really shouldn't even think about let alone attempt.
That is all
yeah im around 135lbs for 8 but it hurts my wrists some times. i broke my left wrist beinf drunk and falling down the stairs.:icon_lol:
I'll have to check myself... I've never checked my max...... While I'm here, I'll check right now..... LOL, I can do 100 lbs 3 times, but not perfect form ( a little rocking motion )...... And yes, my computer is in my gym room.
Same here, when you say max the first thing you think of is bench and maybe squat.
Holly crap! :run:
this may have come across wrong .. 135-145 with the olympic bar (including the 45lbs of the bar in that weight)
Yeah...we would have believed that you curl 190 pounds for sets if you hadn't of pointed that out.
