Thread: Am I losing strength, or just an abberation?

It doesn't necessarily mean you got weaker, although I feel the bicep curl is a very poor method of gauging strength gains. Sometimes people have off days. Nonetheless, if the same thing results on your next trip to the gym, then you're going to have to change something.

god for bid you loose a rep or two on the biceps curl!! I don't know what I would f*cking do!!

My question is, the sudden loss of strength in my biceps, is it anything to be concerned about, or is it normal to have a bad day like that? I felt fine, and I ate before, nothing unusual, although my right wrist has been aching for the past couple days, could it be that I was thinking about that too much?

Wait until you do chest day to gauge your strength. If it starts falling a rep or two for two consecutive workouts, then there's a problem.
