Is Curling 70lb DBs Impressive?

[HeNeedsMilk]

Good form (not strict but good)

[kcadrenalin]

With good form it absolutely is.
Curling with any amount of weight using good form seems to be non-existent at my gym.

[explosiveMidget]

Yes.

[HeNeedsMilk]

Yes.

thanks bro

Surprisingly most people curl with good form at my gym but not many even go past 40lbs

If you're not swinging, it's impressive.

That said, from a results perspective, there's not much of a need to go that far, and with the risk of injury, I wouldn't try it.

Everyone is different, but biceps typically respond more to slow, controlled movements that focus on the pump and pushing the muscle to the max over the entire rep range.

In all of the years that I've lifted, I don't think I've ever pushed it past 45lbs. Never felt the need. Could I have? Sure, but I think it would have been purely ego lifting.

I added 3/4” to my Bis over this last year by adding in heavy cheat curls. They’d been stuck at the same size for years until now started curling heavy

[dopamine72]

Yes OP that's SOLID weight

Love when people hate on form, its always the small fuks lol

Even if you're cheating if you fight the negative you'll get killer results (strength / size)

There's no one size fits all way to lift...You do all styles for best results..That means heavy weight and chit form sometime then other times lighter wieght and strict form..Both

Just like doing high reps light weight, low reps heavy..

If you're not training all styles you're selling yourself short

[x-trainer ben]

Yup.
My max was 85 for 2 on a birthday, so anything close is super impressive to me.
I will never attempt that again, the 50s are a nice compromise

I told Gary to do this for years if he wants to see growth but he keeps being an incel

big facts! I mixing rep ranges is everything, if you’re not progressing on the heavier lifts you can atleast progress on the higher rep range stuff, not to mention it gives you the necessary variation to get the best of both worlds (strength and gains)

it’s GOAT

Srs? Man the weight gets fukin heavy fast after like 60lbs. I can’t even imagine doing 80lbs yet without a lot of swing

He’d just be an incel with big arms then

Damn

it’s not ego lifting at all

I never see people go heavy on lateral raise either and they always wonder why they have mediocre delts

This narrative of going light and getting volume on delts and biceps is BS imo

I was using 2 scoops of a super stimulant pre workout and set a birthday goal months out. Started at 60s and slowly worked my way up , and on that day struggled ,but did it and smiled.
Hitting goals is energizing.

This is Piram? Bro my arms are growing just fine. They're 17.25"

[dopamine72]

Go heavy on some hammers and fight the negative (guessing you could use at least 80's)

glad to see you posting

those are rookie numbers.

You want to be a 300lb mogger you need 21s

[Quiggie]

Heavy curls (and heavy lateral raises) will wear out your joints. Personally it gives me elbow pain. Not worth it, even for extra gains. Stick to low weight, high reps, do them very slowly to maximize that time under tension, concentrate on slow eccentric movement.

Mirin hard

I want to be able to curl my bodyweight one day (barbell/ez bar) for a single

Lifting weights properly strengthens connective tissues

So actually its the opposite

If you're "wearing out" your joints then you aren't resting enough

Nice try on the excuse tho bro

lol no thanks Jeff

I used to get elbow pains at one point now I’m fine. And I do heavy DB skullcrushers every week, heavy dips (4 plates+). Don’t be a bitch cuz. YOLO

I've had this innner elbow tendonitis for a while. I could probably do cheat hammer curls but not gonna try it with barbell curls.

those are rookie numbers.

ego curls are cool sometimes, can help you break past a plateau, but gotta do good form too imo.

Das fukin it mang

my bulk to 230 starts this weekend. I end where you start

[HeNeedsMilk]

mirin mindset

[Quiggie]

Compound lifts - heavy
Isolation exercises - light

you can still go heavy on the biceps by doing weighted chin ups

Lol I was exactly 230lbs this morning
