    if you can do 60 lbs with a 4 second positive and an 8 second negative without pushing your hips forward for five reps, then you should increase the weight. if your just humping the bar up, you should increase your form. i see some guys your age at the gym trying to curl about that weight (they seem about your size) and they have no idea what they are doing and just hump the bar up..... it does them no good to cul 60 lbs if they arent doing the movement maximally.

    That is what I do, using the ez-curl bar right now I can curl abt 95 x 3 and that is what I do, once I can rep around 5 - 6 of that I put on more weight.

    Try doing them with your back against a wall.
    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.
