No, that is not above average. I would say that is average maybe a little below. This would all depend on who you are comparing yourself to.Originally Posted by ToothPasteFtnss

Curl what allows you to get a good full range of motion with a locked in posture and no swing. A monkey can pile weights on a bar and hump it up, but if you are trying to isolate the biceps (which you are because you are doing curls) then use a weight that challenges your biceps, but you are still able to keep solid form with. You aren't training front delts. Don't let your or other peoples egos slow your progress mate.

who cares... curls are just an ego lift.
swinging your back wildly while struggling to bring the weight above stomach height does not constitute a 'curl'.

A proper bicep curl is not an ego lift.Originally Posted by KobiDC
But idgaf about the weights I use when working biceps, its all about the form imo. Dont get me wrong, im not going to be curling 20lb dumbells for a million reps but you get what im saying

Bro do you even curl? 70 lbs? Srs!? Jk dude I curl 40 pounders with good form and for a good 4 sets of 8, keeping my elbow straight. Not very impressive I know, but if you can do the same with 70's, I'm impressed!
