Even though limits do exist, don’t limit yourself. You can get 2x body weight I am sure of it. Maybe try some overloading techniques like using boards or a slingshot.

So glad I purchased this bench press just before the quarantine started. Enjoying some quality time with it. Hit 420lbs the other day.
I can’t post a link to the video so you have to look up Strong...

Hard to say. The numbers are good for your weight but we all want to see videos to judge form.

Here are the results of a body scan from a machine called the InBody570.

Requesting any opinions, advice, thoughts, or any feedback whatsoever on the results.

Trying to learn more about myself...

The alternating bicep curl is definitely something that can be cheated easy. It is also easy to tell good form from bad. For instance Kali Muscle has a video of him “curling” 200lb dumbbells, but it...

The world record strict curl is 249lbs by Denis Cyplenkov set on December 13th of 2015. This shattered the previous long standing record of 225lbs. Just to be clear, you are saying that you have seen...

That is called a slingshot. It is like the in between between raw and a bench shirt. I use it to prevent injury and get my body used to heavier weights. I can not max 455 without it. I can max about...

I fully agree, it’s really hard to be stable with heavy dumbbells on alternating curls. I do those because they are fun for me and I do see some good strength improvement. About once a month I get...

Posted a video for ya.

I can’t post links so you have to go to YouTube and look up Strong Mike. That is my new channel.

I compete in powerlifting so I would say it does matter but you could argue either side for eternity.

Haha I wish, I’m working on it. I have a long way to go. My bench is like 425 right now.

Lots of great opinions here, thank you all for your feedback, it’s much appreciated. If there is any interest I can post a video here of me curling the 80’s just for fun.

For your average joe yes. I compete in powerlifting, some contests have the strict curl. So I’m not just competing with the people I see in my gym, I’m competing with the world. I like to compete.

It depends on what your goal is. Technique is always important. If your trying to get as strong as you can then yes, obviously the weight is important. If your trying to look good in the mirror then...

80lb dumbbells, one in each hand, alternating dumbbell curls.

I ran into this website and it calculates your strength compared to others.

I can’t post links but the website is called Strength Level, just google it.

Old thread I know but I just found it. I am 30 years old and was
Diagnosed with spinal stenosis when I was only 26 years old. I have been weight lifting my entire life with serious lifting starting...

I trained by simply holding the stein. I did a strongman contest once where we had to hold axes out to the side but that was when I was much younger.

A Unique feat of strength. I hold the world record for Masskrugstemmen (beer stein holding). You hold a 1 liter beer stein full of beer with an outstretched arm for as long as you can.

My...

Thanks for the info, the reason I am going to Germany in the first place is because I hold the world record in the 1L beer stein hold.

But looking for something else to lift while I’m there haha
