I can do 10*11.5kg on each side and used to be able to do 15*11.5kg (when I was working out more).
Seeing as I'm trying to be strong but not too strong in the upper body (I have sprinting and rugby to think of so if I do too much upper body it tends to slow me down...)
Meaning: My barbell 1 rep max is 71lb
Anyway, is this an impressive weight?

What's a good weight for a 14yr old to be able to bicep curl?

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. (Henry Rollins)

You guys are way too harsh. At 14 years old curling just 50lbs is pretty good imo. This isn't strength world, this is bodybuilding/fitness etc. when I was 14 I never touched a weight in my life and I bet I couldn't have gotten the 20lb dbs for 1 thats how small I was. I mean I see 200lb full grown men that only barbell curl between 50-110lbs and I bet 110 isn't that good ethier? Grow up guys, seriously. Its not about ego, if your arms are making gains thats all that matters.

bicep curls isn't the best way to measure strength because you only use 3% of your body as opposed to 70% for squatting. for measuring raw strength the 3 best gauging exercises are bench press, dead lift, and squat.
here let me give you an example. one of my friends was maxing 65 with dumbbell curls. at the time i maxed around 30 lbs but my max bench was 20 or 30 pounds heavier then his. anyways i ended up beating him in a wrestling match.Last edited by dumac; 07-10-2007 at 03:14 PM.
