[little kicker]

hi all

just wondering what weight do you all lift on bicep curls? (one handed)

thanks

well.....for a short while i could do 50 lbs but right now it's probably 40 or 45 max.

Not much. Never tried a one rep max on this exercise. I just work for reps.

I can do about 30-40 lbs for about 12 reps or so.

How about yourself?

[bushido_man96]

I'm at about 10 reps at 25 lbs.

Persently I do standing alternate dumbbell curls with 60-65 lbs for 6-8 reps per arm. Most I've ever done for 6 reps is 75 lbs.

I remember that back in the 80's the NBA basketball player Ralph Sampson was reported to curl 95 lbs with one arm. He is 7' 4" tall.

Love this exercise. Other curls may be a waste of time but this one isn't, as long as you don't cheat and perform the movement correctly.

With respect,

Sohan

For an 18 year old woman, I'd say that's not too shabby. Try doing lower reps (4-6) for a couple weeks and you should see it jump a bit.
