first bicep PR in quite some time

[bigstve12]

I forgot to post, but on last tue i curled 125lbs 5X5, with strict form! I used the ez curl bar which weighs 25lbs, then added two 25's to each side...it just looked big, in my pansy ass gym. Looking forward to 130 5X5 this tuesday

Damn, I know how hard that is cause I`m doing 5 dimes and a 5 on each side of an EZ curl bar for 3 sets of 5 but NOT strict. Good work

 

[The Red Dragon]

Dimes?
Yeah good work man, I'm struggling with 55 lbs.

 

[WarriorPL]

Dimes?
Yeah good work man, I'm struggling with 55 lbs.

Dimes = 10 lbs

 

[Exodus]

i always thought the ez curl bar was 15 lbs???? is that wrong??

please say yes.

[Mike_Rojas]

Mine weighs 25 pnds.

 

[BigBadBootyDaddy29]

Nice job on the PR, and Exodus, most E-Z bars are 25lbs, however 15 is not totally uncommon either. just weigh it next time at the gym, maybe you'll be in for a nice surprise if it's 25.

 

[The Red Dragon]

Figured dimes meant that...it's just used in way too many contexts (10, 1000...0.8 grams etc)
I can't tell the difference in weight

 

[IronLion]

0.8 grams etc)

nice work man, bicep PRs seem less common then other muscle groups for some reason.

I will venture to say it`s because they are commonly overtrained.

slapping a 45 on each side looks even cooler.....slapping a 45 on each side and then a 10 on top of that is cooler yet.

one of these days it's gonna be 45 plus a 25....

 

[Kurtz2]

slap 45's on a straight bar. you'll be the coolest guy in your gym.

 

[jerkbox]

i can't do straight bar curls.....they hurt me wrists

 

[JollyRogers]

Olympic Ez = 25 lbs
York Ez = 15 lbs

 

[bigstve12]

i never really went too heavy on bis till i started 5X5, now the damn things wont stop growing!!

 

[jerkbox]

less (volume) is definitely more with bi's....

 

[blinddeafmute]

haha pothead

looks like the pot is calling the kettle black if you ask me

I assumed the ezbar at my gym was 25, guess I have to weigh it now. God I hope its not 15.
