How much can you curl...?

[jazzman21]

...with a dumbbell? I'm just curious to see if I am below, above or average in this department. I was doing 45 with my hex db, but recently in the last couple of days moved up to 60 lbs. All I want is a #

thank you

[baker]

I try to add weight every week.

Recently:
Best DB Curl was 10@55
Best BB Curl was 6@120

I see some real big guys who never go over 40 pounds.
Whats up with that?

[TJ2000]

I see guys with like 18 inch biceps only curling 80lbs and imo thats kinda strange but to each their own, they're probably just getting a really good pump with lighter weight. For some guys that works better. I know I do that too, I'll get like 60-75lbs and do around 12 slow reps with it and it gives me an awesome pump, even though my arms aren't 18 lol they still get pretty big after a few sets like that.

This thread sucks.

I can curl 60 lbs with the dumbells.

I could do 170 lbs with the barbell or curl bar.

YEAH BOY!

i'd rather be deadlifting...

[spot_skater]

I've curled 50 lb db's before. Four times with each arm, at the end of a workout. I usually use 40's for 8-10 reps, though.

Why does everyone care so much?
A true bodybuilder doesn't give a **** how much he can bench, curl, squat, clean, whatever. All he cares abuot is how much he can eat whlist keeping a slim figure.
There are no OLY lifts or powerlifts that are curl oriented either.

So, unless you guys wanna start up the redneck oly lifts, stfu about how much you THINK you can curl with good form.

For what it's worth...my form is perfect, regarding those weights and rep ranges. When my form starts to get ****ty, that's when I go to a lighter weight.

Your rep is horrible around here, and I just checked another thread you started where all you're doing is talking sh it.

If you don't have anything constructive to say regarding other people's posts, then don't say anything.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

JMan, Why do you care about what somebody else is doing? Why does it matter? We are all different and bodybuilding is not about how much you lift, but HOW you lift it and keeping tension on the working muscle, not herking and jerking and using assisting muscles and thinking you are showing off when nobody else in the gym is really looking or caring.

And if its so important that you have to know, I can curl 190 pound dumbbells seated with good form for 20 reps with each arm.

[exothermic]

why do guys hate on the curls??

neways i db curl 40lbs 6reps each hand, hammer curl the same and preacher curl 30lbs.... amm by the way if your doing 60lbs thats above average by far why did you even have to ask that unless your huge then 60lbs isnt anything impressive

[-Lucifer]

405 lbs.

With strict form.

+ food

[fleezy]

i couldnt BB curl 89 today, but i got up 70 something 12 times. i was repping ~35lb DBs for 15 too...

my bsd is almost 1000 though.. biceps dont mean dick for overall strength, just beach muscles.

[exothermic]

^^ you are kidding yourself... just beach muscles? wow.... so if your pulling somebody biceps doesnt help?, if you are a grappler training your biceps wont help u get stronger?... get outa here with that stupid ****

[Nayoo]

I curl about 45pnds for 12reps.
Although I usually curl 35pnds for more reps.

[DiamondDelts]

Lol at the guys who post serious answers in threads like this.

[DiamondDelts]

[MrSinister]

[Zensuji]

[instantmassege]

1lb barbell curl

lol

[tommytom]

oh boy what an ego excercise this one can turn out to be for some. your elbows pointing down? and are you really sure? most use there body weight to get the momentum and put the elbows under the weight very decieving but a complete joke.
for your question the weight your curling is good . but i know your not actually doing it properly, and i don't even need to look at you. how does one go from 45 to 60 db curl in a couple of weeks?

[gountilfailure0]

its not about the weight did u see the bigger guys form or how long they took on the negatives and positives of the bb curls i can do 135 for reps but my form is not perfect...try taking 4 seconds on the positive and 2 seconds on the negative and see how much u do for reps
