Weights for curls

[eat big]

I'm talking about:
- sitting on a bench that has a back angled at 30 degrees
- a dumb bell in each hand with the arms extended towards the ground
- slowly curling the db's up to the delts and then back to the start position
- from 5-8 reps

I'd say if you can do this with 75's, you are strong! And I'd estimate at least an 18' arm.

Oh fuck no. No way I can do that. 75lbs total or each arm? Biggest guy I've ever seen did concentration curls with 65.

Barbel curls for one rep?

185 is about as heavy as one strict rep.

135 x 20 reps with the first ten strict and the last 5 downright sloppy!

For one arm hammers, I've hefted up the 100's, but that's a whole different ball game.

For the seated incline dumbell curls, I've done 75's x 6.

I watched Ian Harrsion (at 275 5% BF) doing 10 strict inc dumbell curls with 88lbers, drop them, pick up the 75lbers do 4-5 more, then pick up a pair of 66's and fire up 4-5 more before cheating out as many as 10 reps again per side.

I bet that was a lot of burning discomfort in his biceps..
I've hammer curled 120 lbs for 5 reps in what I'd call cheat curls but most people would pass as a solid hammer
I've gotten 90 or 95 for a very strict hammer curl rep because I wanted to see how much cheating I was doing I was pretty pleased
I've Concentraion curled 75-85 lbs with good form

Best curls for me are:

BB 175x5
DB one arm 85lbs
DB hammer 100'sx6
Preacher curl 220x6

This is when my arms were 22" before I hurt my elbow. I am getting back to it pretty fast though arms are up to 20.5" from 19.5".

Wowzas.

for a 1rm, no idea.. my shoulders would yell at me. I can't bb curl without pain

90's for good form hammer style for 12-15 reps is the most I've done.

Scotsman, you can preacher curl more then standing BB curl??

Without cheating yes, I tend to start swinging pretty bad on standing BB curls.

I don't train arms.

I don't train arms.

Damn, I thought I was the only other one. Also, I do not train eyebrows or temples.
