What do you dumbell curl standing up?
I reached 5 x 5 at 45lbs last week. My best ever.
Very happy.
(good form too, I hate any swinging...so it was all pretty slow and controlled)

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

As well as standing, I quite like sitting declined by about 30 degrees to the vertical and doing both arms (alternating during the set L R L R etc). It gives a really good range of motion and I get a great pump from it.

Thats good!
I'm on about 90 now.
Do you use the straight barbells, or the ones with curves on them.
(sorry don't know the correct jargon)

i actually have a db curl question...is it totally necessary to do the twist as you bring the dbs up? I find it to be much harder and seems to do more to my biceps if i just get them into position like a bb curl and just curl them straight up with palms up the whole way as opposed to starting at my sides. Anyone know any reason why this is?
