The dumbells jump 5 pounds, which is a huge jump for such a small muscle as the bicep. Me, I can do 55 with perfect form for 3 reps, but with 60 it looks like a reverse power clean for me
 
I don't do db curls, but I do hammer curls with my elbows at my hips with 95's for 6, i usually work up from 75 for about 12
 
95's are quite impressive...do u bring the bar straight up, almost in a line...or kinda across ur body?

straight up, i don't like the crossing thing, i have 21 inch arms but they're nothing to brag about, they look small on my body...lol
 
Most i've ever worked up to are 6 reps of 55s standing, 8 reps of 45s seated. I'm not a fan of dumbells really... i just use cable and barbell.
 
since i powerlift i dont do a lot of bicep work..... mainly stay light and do a lot of reps just to still stimulate them without taking away from overall strength.

like for example here is a typical friday night workout. 12oz x 10-12 reps. i usually do about 1-3 sets unless im in different bar ....opps i mean gym.......


lol

i do a lot of hammer and reverse....... the tire kills my biceps so i dont have to hit a lot of actuall curls.

All too often, I don't see correct form on bicep curls... especially DB curls... I see alot of shoulder action, even though when you are curling 95lbs... I suppose there is going to be some motion -- unless the arms are JUST THAT STRONG LOL :)

The most I've ever curled standing, without a breakdown in form are the 75's for around 5-6... my arms are very strong... just not big... haha -- I'm almost willing to trade in my strength for BIGGER arms LOL
