What would you guys say is a decent weight to curl. In my gym no-one seems to try and go heavy so it hard to tell when your doing well. At the minute my max is 35kg dumbells so 70kg in total. I dont swing or anything not sure how many reps I can do with it because I tend not to count reps when I go heavy. I'm trying to get my arms over the 20 mark, I've been stuck t 19inches for ages now.

For mass try doing barbell curls. I usually use an olympic bar (20kg) and 15kg either side, but I've seen plenty of guys curling upwards of 60kg.

35kg is impressive imo.

Yeah 35 is impressive!! Iv only just got onto 18s:(

I dont see many using 35's in good form mate, impressive.

big pete

for size i prefer to do nothing!!

lol, sounds daft, but when i start ading in bicep curls/tricep pushdowns and all that, my arms dont shift. vut just by heavy compounds there seems to be enough stimulation to help them grow! but thats just me.

remember, for adding arm size, dont negate the importance of the tricep!

i agree with that pete... must be because we are such animals on the compounds.. well u anyway

i find 2 sets or bicep not to failure and 3 sets of tri's is more than enough for me... i keep perfect form for arms...

first set moderate 2nd to failure.... once every 7-10 days max

I try and go heavy most the time. I must admit that 35kg dumbells are what I do when I'm having a strong day, most the time I end up doing the 30's instead. On my triceps I do the normal really, pushdowns, kickbacks etc. the heaviest I go on pushdowns is 80kg and do them like close grip benchpress because it always get my wrists when I do it on the smith. I never do things like skull crushers though because I hurt my elbow doing it in the past and dont want to have that happen again. Anyway I suppose if I keep training it should be just a matter of time to get to my goal.

I have to agree as well, last year I injured my bicep tendon while trying to learn how to bench in a shirt, and could not really do any specific arm movements, and they grew to their all time biggest, (19 1/8 cold).

I need to work up the courage to drop arm work even when I am not injured, lol.

big

I also agree with this 100%.

Very nice post

My max is 18kg if u mean on bicep not much but yeah one day i will be big and we can have an arm wrestle ;=)

vice

yeh thats great man! keep going with it

just got back doing curls last week, had a wrist injury for months, i did 47.5kg x 8 with a barbell - personally ill feel like my curling is getting somewhere when i can curl 60kg for 8-10 with decent form

Fukthesheep

35 is a lot...n vice 60 is pfft..loads

mant01

When you say 60kg do you mean dumbells or on a barbell? I am really trying to push to get to curl the 40kg dumbells at the minute, I've never seen anyone lift them in that way. Saying that not many people try and go heavy in my gym, they sit and read mags instead of training.

offo

17kg is heavy for me...I am envious of u guys..but it must of taken years to get there originally right? and i take u do 30kg 6 reps per set? and then ya max 1 rep is 35 manto1??
