Polish and crazy strong? Pudzianowski maybe? He's at the Expo this weekend (http://www.bodypowerexpo.co.uk/), so wouldn't surprise me if he came over to have a wander around first. Where abouts do you train Chicco?

180kg curls.. holy cow.
Are you sure it was 180kg?! Absolutely phenomenal enhanced or not, that's mad!
Caporegime
That's utterly insane. Even if it were 180lbs, that's still 80kg which is not impossible but a lot!

Re: the bicep curls. Dunno why some find it hard to believe. When you've been training a few years in a gym thats dominated by steroid abusers you get used to seeing crazy poundages being thrown around

terry hollands rarely does DB curls, but when he does apparently its about 65kg DBs doing hammer curls.
180kg BB curls though with perfect form? i seriously would be questioning that and most definitely speaking to the person about it if its real. on gear or not, 180kg curls deserves some conversation time

World record for Strict-Curl (head, back and bum must be touching wall at all times) set in the 90s was 225lbs. That's 102kg. The same guy claims he regularly curled 300+lbs when not strict.
OLSA record of 300.25lbs was done in 2000.. that's 130kg ish.

as for large weights, our very own member Tank does 45kg hammers iirc, but that's still quite a far cry from 75kg hammers!

Was doing my back/biceps today but didnt manage to get the bar on smith to do chin ups /pull ups 
. Towards the end of my workout my forearms went really tight and I couldn't really feel it normally =/ Hasn't happened before but not sure if it's a good thing or not.

"tight" forearms just means they are pumped.
sounded obscene to me as well but let's see, 102kg world record, and the guy said he can do 140+ with not so strict form.
led's add another ton of steroids as I presume there is a bit of testing for world records and such, and although things can be easily dodged, I kinda doubt you won't test positive if you're in the middle of a cycle, like our 180kg lifter here.
nevertheless, it does sound..
As for hammer curls, they are so easy to cheat. I see guys in the gym doing something that looks like a clean with dumbbells lol.

Makes my 35kg bb curls look pants, I thought I was doing pretty good, lol 
Soldato
Prob doesn't say much for my previous workouts then 
Managed 24kg dumbell rows for 4 sets of 8 today .Makes my 35kg bb curls look pants, I thought I was doing pretty good, lol
that is daaamn good mate, in human being terms.
that guy was definitely not human.
Caporegime
eh?
you know what a clean is and what a hammer curl is right? the 2 are nothing like each other, so not sure how 1 can look like the other.

Dude, you and I are pretty similar in terms of training and ethos, but 180kg is simply unbelievable! Have you honestly seen that?! It just seems a little OTT to me.
I'm not saying that the_chico is lying, not at all, I just find it so hard to believe, when you have some of the world's strongest people pushed to the limit on 450kg deads and squats, I can't see how nearly 1/2 of that is done purely by using biceps and strict form.
Today:
Deads:
12x100
8x130
8x160
6x180
4x200
4x200
2x220
Single arm DB Rows:
8x40
8x40
8x40
8x40
13x40
Cable shoulder raises:
10x10
10x10
8x15
8x15
7x20
6x20
Push press:
8x40
8x50
8x60
7x70
5x80
2x90
BW Chins
4x5 reps
That's it, short and sweet but fun.

Depends what chicos definition of strict form is but i doubt its what we would call strict lol.
More than likely cheat curls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HlfIJHbkvU&feature=PlayList&p=A97331E1B051121D&index=0
