callen3615 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Any weight lifters here??? I have a question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 What is it? I've been involved in training high school football players and at one time was so committed to lifting that I weighed 240 lbs with a 35 inch waist. But that was 1990. Back them it was hardcore lifting every day. I could military press 225 with out a problem, benched over 300 and did some hellacious squats and leg presses. Now I just lift to show the kids proper technique. Power lifts mostly like power cleans, squats, and bench press. My son, who's nine, wants to start lifting and I'll be showing him the way. What do you need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Hand Grenade Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I just wana know how much a 160 lb guy should curl. You must be puny, You need to gain some more weight if you want to lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not sure, my curling days ended the same day I learned the importance of choosing jack stands over bottle jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a result of a Depressed mother and a Alcoholic father that was never there for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callen3615 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Ive got a small bar I put about 70lbs on and I do 10 reps of 10 about everyday. But Im not seeing much improvement. Last nite I did 15 reps 8 times. Idk, I dont ever feel sore anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 There is no correct answer for that question but the question is what are you trying to accomplish? You want to get big? More weight is definitly needed. Trying to get strong? Keep doing what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Lets see here. I weigh around 180 lbs. And for curls I do 3 sets of 70lbs at different angles of attack 3 times a week. *****s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Axe's Reply is correct. Do three sets of 10. Different arm exercises. Curls with a straight bar, curls with a curl bar, preacher curls, biceps curl with dumb bells, triceps curls, skull crushers, behind the head. Just do it.

Uncle Dave Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Be patient or you could injure yourself which would really be a setback. It sounds like you're weight is about right if 10 reps is comfortable. It will likely take about 3 months to notice a visible improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
