    I can curl 40 pounds (max). Is that good?

    Max curl (dumbbell)- 40 pounds ( Good Form) EDIT: this is the most weights i have on my dumbbells

    Max preacher curl- 100 pounds on preacher curl machine not actually barbell so weights might be slightly off (Good Form)

    Max bench- around 100-120. (have not benched for forever and i don't have a spotter so i'm scared to go to high)

    Is this good or bad because i think its low compared to others?

    Given your starving child status weight of 107 pounds, benching 120 is ok.

    I don't even.. Can preacher curl 100lbs but can only db curl 40lbs? My bet is that even if you can "preacher curl" 100lbs, it's only a half extension, if that.

    And you're a complete bicep warrior. Start over.

    I dont see why him curling 40 lb dumbbells makes it impossible for him to be curling 100 lbs on barbell. I curl 60x5 dumbbells with form that is not fantastic, but I bb curl 135x5 with solid form. It's just a different kind of movement.

    On that note OP you weigh 100 lbs, just EAT and stop worrying about what you curl. A 100 lb curl and a 120 bench is an amazingly terrible ratio.
    Bench Press - 225x18 // 275x8 // 330x1
    Squat - 385x7 // 445x1
    Overhead Press - 135x20 // 225x1
    Deadlift - 385x11

    Bodyweight OHP for reps!

    Aren't preacher curls the ones with your arms over the cushion thing, sitting down? They're a lot harder than a normal bb curl.

    you curl basically as much as you bench press ? something is very wrong here. and your arms are still twigs dude. how much you can curl doesnt mean ****, only what your arms look like. drop the weight and curl properly

    Ye you wanna make sure your form is good and your using just your biceps and not your shoulders which alot of people do when they are "swinging" the weight, also on your preacher curls make sure you get a full range of motion and your armpits are dug into the pad!!

    I would focus more on the form and I found that my biceps grew with higher volume! Try doing drop sets or super setting exercises together! I can dumbbell curl 60s but i rarely ever go above 45s! All depends on if you want to bring up your size or strength.

    Just continue curling. Use a variety of rep ranges. No reason to go below 4 reps in my opinion tho. Max curls are pointless in my opinion unless you're going to a curling competition like CT Fletcher lol.
