My workout partner and I were doing shrugs today and I was like man you think anyone can curl that? (185lb) on there. "He's like no way man". But i think the record is probably around there. I tried looking it up on the net but i couldn't find it. So do you guys know the standing barbell curl record, and the single arm DB curl record?
that guy can do 6 reps with 150 kg thats over 300lbs

Going for a 1RM with curls is retarded. Best way to rip your arms right off your shoulders.
Lee Priest has done something like 320 for 4 strict reps on an EZ bar. I've seen a video of a guy curling 100lb DBs before. There was this skinny kid at my gym also, I swear he was curling 75lb DBs like it was nothing.
Damn all those lifts are HUGE!!! I totally underestimated what people can curl. I know it's pointless to max with curls we weren't doing that. We were just wondering what the human body could do.
World Record-Barbell Curl-440 lbs. in 1985

Pretty impressive - its probably more thanthat now though
lol nah, i highly doubt any body has curled more than that
I think all the curls over 400 weren't really that strict...more like cheat curls
Magnus Samuelsson has claimed a 400lb curl though I think
On the news about a month ago they showed some skinny-ass old indian (asian) curling a 200 lb dumbell (one arm) for like four or five reps, can't remember exactly. Anyone know more about that one?
Is it the old guy with the shaved head that moves the weight about 1/2 inch and everyone applauds?
only in teen forum would u find such a stupid question
i wish i had genetics like svend karlson, it says after he trained a week when he was 14 he benched 200 some and squatted 300 some and deadlifted 300 some, jesus christ he is soooooo lucky

you beleived him?
I believe Svend.
And yeah those were cheat curls by those guys mentioned. I think the straight bar record is around 220. Dennis Rogers has curled 98lbs on a dumbell for 10 reps, unfortunately I know not if they were strict.
i heard that the mexican tall huge dude in the longest yard could db curl 200...idk if its true or not tho...???
maxing out on curls is 1 of the dumbest thing u could do when lifting

lol I think he is BSing to make himself look good...ive never heard of a 14 year old who has never lifted to have stats that some people who lift for a year dont even have...
the jv basketball / freshman football coach / health teacher can supposedly curl 80's. his son is the strongest kid on the football team, he's like 6' 3" 245.
Curling is one of the events in the division I compete in. My best is 198. The heaviest in our organization is 242. These are absolutely strict on an EZ bar. I aint from MO but you would have to show me someone curling over 300 strict.

LOL! Naw man this guy did complete reps and he was seated too! Sometimes I stay up too late watching t.v. but I'm certain that I saw this and that it was real.
lol bull**** yer arm would snap if u tried to crul a fuqin 200 lb dumbbel at 150 lb bw... get real.
I am one of those idiots (or maybe I was an armwrestler and had a reason for doing one-arm curl max reps) done over 130 with a dumbbell on a preacher curl before. A few vids on my youtube page but it won't allow me to post a link on here. My youtube is champat187198220 if you are interested
