How much do you weigh and how much can you one-arm-concentration curl?

[edprush]

This is the type of curl I am talking about:

A dude I work with is trying to tell me he can do 3 sets of 10 reps of these using 65 pounds...he only weighs 190 pounds. I say he's b.s.'n me.

 

[KingGheedora]

I could maybe do three sets of ten reps of 20lbs, and i weigh 160lbs.

 

[Tiamat]

3 sets of 10 reps of 17.5lbs I weigh 115lbs.

 

[KingGheedora]

How tall is your coworker? If he's 5'9" or shorter, at 190, and mostly muscle, I would believe him.

 

[edprush]

He's 5'11"

 

[allies]

probably 3 sets of 10 at 25... maybe 30

150 lbs.

 

[edprush]

I'm proportionally built the same as him except I am 5'10" and 160 pounds. I can only do 3 sets of 10 reps/set of 33 pounds. I don't see how he can do twice as much as me.

 

[EvilYoda]

At those numbers, I wouldn't immediately think he was lying, it's definitely possible. I can't curl much, I do sets of 30lb and I weigh 152lb.

i do 3 x 10 concentration curls with 35lbs dumbells. i'm 5'7, 190lbs, muscular. he's bullshitting you, big time.

even if he was standing with the dumbells, and doing curls, which are easier than concent curls, he's still BS'ing you. he's a douche

 

[imported_LoKe]

BS @ 65lbs.

 

[Xonoahbin]

I can do 3 sets of 10 at 25, but I don't have heavier weights. No idea how far I could go; maybe 50. I weigh 210.

 

[sash1]

I haven't really worked out hard this summer, but at the end of the school year this year I could get 3 x 10 of 30lbs

I'm focusing on running again so not really lifting much anymore

i'm 5'10" 130lbs

 

[l6873]

That's very doable. I doubt he can do it though.

 

[bignateyk]

hmm.. i dunno about concentration.. i havnt even done standing arm curls in a while.. normally i just let my back exercises take care of the biceps.

For my standing arm curls I was able to do a set of 10 at 45lbs, and I weigh 160, but as mentioned, standing are easier than concentration. I'm gonna call BS on the 65lb curls, unless hes like 4 feet tall.


edit: on a side note, Ahnold could concentration curl 110lb dumbells (as seen in my favorite movie: pumping iron)

Agreed. Although I could see curling 130lbs - however - that in no way means you could do half that with each arm.

 

[BullyCanadian]

For concentration curls I do 10x20lbs, 10x25lbs, 8x30lbs
btw I am 20 y/o 215lbs, about 18% body fat 5'11"

 

[SVT Cobra]

I say it is possible at this weight, depends on how long he has been lifting. It really isn't about his weight, it is about experience.

Not to mention this arguement is stupid as hell as only wannabee teen body builders do this worthless axercise, and then to argue about it...

Better than guys standing around in their sleeveless T's doing "Curls-for-Girls" (ie: throwing the weight around really fast to make it easier and appear as though they're really strong).

As far as 65x10x3 at 190... ya it's possible. I could maybe do 35 and I weight 150 (though I haven't worked out in almost a month ).

 

[Savij]

I'm 5'8", 150 and I can do 3 sets of 10 @ 30 every day and 3x10x35lb on a good day
