Here is a beast of a man and even though he is doing like 12 reps, some of you are saying you can almost walk up and ask Ronnie Coleman "Do you mind if I work in for a rep or two". Yeah ok everyone, don't forget to pull the syringe out of your arm.

88lbs x 8 reps!

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

The last time someone asked me how strong I was they asked about my 1RM squat and then moved on to deadlifts. Curls and bench never entered the conversation.

Everyone I know who wants to know how strong someone is asks the same question....How much do you bench. I guess thats because that is the only real refrence point number people have in their head. Most people don't know what a good squat or DL weight is. My problem is that I don't know what a good barbell curl weight is. No one ever mentions how much they curl. I guess its easy to cheat a bit in curls, so the numbers can be a bit off.

So, what is decent curling weight on the barbell?? I am able to do 135 for a decent rep, a little arching. No idea if that is low or decent.

135-155lbs.
