I'm going to be out of the running for a while in getting my numbers up

My knee is really giving me problems on anything over 120kg at the moment, and I'm deadlifting for reps most of the time so never going for heavy. Same for benching really

You lot above me should count yourself lucky

are you benching on a machine?

Hell no!

Why do you ask?

I'm guessing that its because your bench is quite similar to your squat and deadlift, which it generally shouldn't be.

Might be a bit of a newb which could explain it. Until I began training properly my squat and bench weren't far apart either!

Whys there no option for bicep curl?

yeah your bench is impressive but your squat and deadlift in comparison, are not.

my cousin has a leverage machine, i can bench 75kg in my rack, but on his leverage system i can do 120kg+.

so i thought you were maybe using a machine or a smith, etc.

LOL!

If we have a bicep curl option, can we have 2 categories, one for rubbish form (still back), one for swinging your back too as we know that's the proper way to do it

Yeah I'm only 9 months in, so definitely a newb. I'll be catching fast so watch your backs!

What are you on about?! We all know this is the proper way to do curls:

rofl

I had to look closer to see if he was actually moving

Psycho Sonny · 5 Jan 2011 at 12:44

what an idiot, 1 wrong move and his arm could have been pulled out its socket, surely its a wind up?

Morba · 5 Jan 2011 at 12:54

LMFAO! that is excellent

Not even quarter reps though, so that caption was very wrong

Loving the 2 bench method too

Just goes to show that 'bicep monkeys' really do exist. Ego tripping at it's finest.

lol i wonder if he goes around telling people he can dumbell curl 65kg, then they just look at the size of his arms

It's like saying I can deadlift 600KG raw but it's just too small a movement for anybody to actually see.

If he spent the time and effort into setting up for that squatting instead he might actually get somewhere.

It shocks me how few people realise how small the bicep actually is in comparison to the tricep. I had to explain this to my friend by fully extending my arm for him to see my tricep 'belly' hanging beneath my arm :rolleyes:

Morba · 5 Jan 2011 at 14:42

Yep, triceps make big arms, not biceps!

UltimateBadger · 5 Jan 2011 at 15:03

Madness.

B1C3P · 5 Jan 2011 at 16:23

Lmfao I just wet myself at that video, quality haha.

milgo · 5 Jan 2011 at 16:43

hah, that guy can't be serious. Anybody seen his 600lb bench press?
