I don't hate him. :lol: I hate the fact that he is stronger than me. Once I get my sqaut rack, I will be safely able to max out on bench and squat, so I will increase them at that time. For now, I will just increase my curls and deadlift.

If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.


Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

I agree with Rotten. I also think your underestimating your own strength. If you can naturally do 100lbs now then you are already lb for lb stronger then most. If you do a little math on those your trying to stay up with I bet your already ahead of them. Rotten really put things nicely. Be at your best not someone elses.

I am also trying to get the ability to do a one armed pull up on both arms. Do you think curling my own body weight would help much with this?

No, a genuine one armed pull up. I can already do plenty while holding my wrist.

Right now, if I grab the bar with one hand and my arm bent at a ninety degree angle, I can lift my feet off the ground and hold myself in place. I cannot lift myself up, just stay in the same place. I figure if I increase my barbell curl by 50 pounds, that's 25 pounds of extra force in each arm. That ought to give me the extra pull I need to do the one armed pull up.

I think your underestimating the force required. On top of the basic force required to lift the weight there is the added shoulder and support muscles. That said if you keep at it you will be able to do it. To much work for me ;)
