Biggest Curl Weight on YouTube

I’m thinking about getting into the YouTube dumbell curls circuit. There aren’t too many people – steroids or not – that can out curl me when I’m on top of my form (65×8 standing regular dumbells). I was looking around the videos today to see what my competition was. One guy stood out as really impressive – especially with his barbell curls (155×5).

Unlike sooo many other videos, this guy has solid form with very little rock. He’s not perfectly straight but it’s damn near impossible to stay completely rigid when you start getting into the really heavy weights. The amount of weight is going to pull you a little bit but I think as long as you’ve got it under control without using your back to pull it up, you’re good.

You can see from some of the videos I have labeled below the form on so many videos goes from bad to just straight horrible. Even the two huge guys below the first two videos put a ton of rock in. One guy got a few reps at 100+ but they were basically snatches. He is undoubtedly very strong, but I can’t tell how much because I never try to turn the weight up so quickly – you’ll notice his curls aren’t nearly as much about the biceps than the top lifter.

The first lifters main problem is he doesn’t breathe. Look what he posted on his YouTube info:

Just a solid set. I felt form was on point too. I will tell you that on the last rep, I almost blacked out (lost some vision) because I was literally on fumes.

The reason why he almost blacked out is because he isn’t breathing on the way up.  You’ve got to breathe.  He could improve even more if he did this.

I’m going to be really hitting the big weight with curls and bench press.  If I can get high enough, I’ll post to YouTube.

The bottom video is rediculous.  Enough said.
