i will start to be happier with my curls when im putting 20kg plates on the ez bar!

so weak on some body parts atm :/

All in good time

ive just started getting past the 70kg mark with the curl bar i find keeping motivation difficult

i find it helps if you train with others

thats my biggest issue, i can only train on my own :<
i do think i am missing out on better gains because of this

Working out on your own has its pros and cons i do tend to get a lot more done if im on my own due to talking

thats true, i just dont get the same intensity tho :/

I find it much easier to motivate myself when training with a partner. I can't reach the same level of intensity training alone.

a bloke in my gym curls 47s, not strict form tho.

anything above 40 with strict form would impress me :]

sorry to be a dippy, but what is 'strict form' ?

Strict form is where you dont throw the wieght around but lift it in a controlled manner

lift them above your head without having to concentrate on your form... also, what sort of weight could you hold out?

cant say ive ever done any 'strongman' type lifts. i could probably do a lot more in a shoulder press if i wasnt so strict on form (more use of legs with a bit of bounce etc). I reckon with a bit of motivation i could do somewhere around 90-100 for 1 rep

I can military press 120kg 1-3 reps seated.
