Only one dude I’ve found doing it with decent form is this dude, I can do it like this




He can also curl 80s, that’s my goal for next year

Ok red, no AVI.

Itwouldbe impressive.

At 6'6" when I was 270 (and 12 years younger) I used to be able to get 5, solid, no swing reps with the 70's sitting down on a straight back seat.

Now I just fuk with the 50's/55's or EZ Bar curl with 110/120

If i saw someone curl 70s yeah id be mirin. Thing is though. You can very easily lowkey ego lift on curls. I can hit a set of 12s to failure either with a 30lber or a 50lb. Nobody could tell the difference but me.
For this reason you never see anybody curling over 50s. Even the biggest guys i seen only go to 40-60

Those elbows came reeeaaallll far forward bud.

Also....good luck on your putting a hole in your apartments drywall goals.

If you can curl your bodyweight....it just means you're not heavy enough.

elbows don’t need to be stuck to the wall, this is a curl competition which proves this





More nonsnse from you guys 210lbs is big if you are relatively lean, the dude can bench press over 500lbs

I posted as an example of good form above in post 3, you can’t fake good form on curls, either you can lift it or you can’t. Once you start using body English to lift the weight, it’s no longer good form.

I agree, I never really see anyone so 50+ with good form, they usually have some swing/momentum added. Thats why im thinking about recording myself doing this because I can’t seem to find many people doing it with good form

Yes. I could do 60 3x8 strict when I was in full beast mode after around 3 yrs of training. 75 is impressive as hell. Strict doesn't mean no swing btw. You have to swing a little. It has to do with the mechanics of your lower back stabilizing you. If you do it seated, you won't need to swing. Also hammer curling is much easier than a standard curl.

No one cares. I could put you through an arm work out using no more than 30 lbs DBs that would leave you sore AF and actually promote growth. Lol at bragging about weight lifted on any iso.

Yeah a little swing is natural but people use too much body English, it’s actually very difficult to find good 60lb curls with good form on YT, everyone is doin too much when it gets to that weight

yes, but most people are swinging the weight and using momentum. it's rare to see people using good form on even 50s, let alone 70s.

depending on the types of curls i'm doing i'm usually using 20s-40s. I think a bit of momentum is okay for heavier weights to mix in from time to time to expose the biceps to heavier weights. but there comes a point where your biceps aren't even doing the majority of the work and it becomes egregious.

incline seated db curls I find to be really nice, and it's hard to go heavy on these

I cringe when guys go super heavy on bicep curls... not because there's anything necessarily wrong with it, but mostly due to me being terrified of tearing a bicep lol
Imagine you're trying to jam your pork sword into some braindead sorostitute's meat wallet that night. You think you can just walk away from that?

This reminds me of highschool when everyone asked how much you benched the second you said you lifted. Going heavy is dumb. It's all about making the weight feel heavy, and chasing the pump. (Ded fkn Srs)

i disagree, and thats coming from someone with poverty arm genetics

You gotta get strong at everything, even lateral raises i progressive overload. Pump chasing can still be acheived on drop sets but progressive overload is always the bottom line

Look at all the professional arm curlers, even the arm wrestlers and they are all strong af and have huge arms. Get strong ffs

i got 2 reps of 80's on a birthday and it really wasn't worth it to me.
The form sucked, i am sure there was some swing, and it didn't do much except give me a 5 day pump.
Now using 50's with strict form and high reps is where it is at for me, it just feels better.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

Curls is a meme lift. Think it favors tall people. Im 6’6 and curls were by far my best exercise always. Worked out with a guy who did close grip bench w 3 plates for reps & i mogged him on biceps curls hard despite only repping a little over 2 plates on regular bench.

nah, deadlift is a cope lift, curl is legit.

Anyone that can curl near their bodyweight is strong AF. That takes work

Yeah a 100%

Pump & fluff is fuk all if youre natty w avg genetics.


Ngl. Im gon swerve off topic here for a bit.
True average bench after 5 yrs of natty training is probably 245lbs. Dl maybe 330. Squat atg 225 for a 5
Mfs at the gym aint making any gains i because they copy cbums back workouts that has first 2 exercises 20 rep cable pulls. See it year after year.

Strong this! That pump chasing is the biggest cope

I think those lifts are kinda low for 5 years lol, maybe 2 years? but yeah a lot of people dont have the most effiecient workouts.

People need to tailor their workouts FOR THEM and not gove a fuk what cbum does. a lot of people should start your workout targeting their weak bodypsrts. If you have chit rear delts, stop starting your shoulders with front delts, hammer your rear delts from the stsrt and vary the rep ranges and get strong at them
