jesus i just read your whole blog, its now like our bodies are one, lest us become lovers in a warm room with a fireplace and a bottle of bubbly eek:

20? u sure u cant do more?

mr. carrot is doing 60 in that pic.

I am quite sure he is doing more then 30, Those little ones on the bell = 30 per weight. (I think they are some sort of ultra heavy small form of weights, I have no clue, I always use plain old cast iron...), so if those little ones were 30 each.. 30x 2 + 10 = 70pds each hand = fucking good. The sad part is doing bicep curls with free weights can sometimes be doing next to nothing for your arms seeing as many people start throwing there back into the lift when really they should just be using their arm... Improper Technique/Lifting/Breathing = the biggest killer of most new comers workouts. I can get more out of 30 minutes of training then most people get in a full hour and a half.

no, the 30 indicates it is a 30 lb dumbbell. To put it into perspective, this guy only works out with 75 lb dumbbells:

And he is one of the strongest men in the world pound for pound, so I doubt Carrot Top is curling 70 lb dumbbells. oOo:

The deal with curls is not the amount of weight, but rather how compact your arm movement is, and how well you are using your bicep muscle and nothing else to pull the weight up and contract the muscle.

He's holding 30lbs in each hand, period.

Oh, and I've seen much higher than 75lbs per arm man... some people don't look very nice (esthetically speaking) but they're monsters.

30lbs is pathetic. I still use 40's and I have been out of commision for 9 months. oOo: (even for endurance training)......'

On ANothern ote, I find muscle memory to be a pretty amazing thing. I have gotten back a good chunk of my old bulk back in the past 8 days or so. (30 % back to where I was). It feels liberating to finnally get back in the gym.

Yeah, I know that, I know guys at my gym who do standing alternating curls with 115 lb dumbbells, my point is that guy has MASSIVE arms but he concentrates on getting a pump by slowly contracting his muscle, which makes it harder to lift the weight, so he doesn't lift as much. He can squat 840 lbs so I would assume the man can probably curl 160 lbs if he wanted to.
