Would you consider this a lot to curl?

I was just wondering if proportionally I'm lifting a lot of weight in curls. In my last "Pull" day I did 45 lb plates on each side of the "easy curl" bar for a set of 11 (failure). I believe the easy curl bar is like 15 lbs, so that'd be 105 total w/ that bar for a set of 11 w/ good form.
I'm 5'11" and 210lbs. Its more weight than anyone else at my gym, but my gym blows so I was wondering how I compared to other dedicated people. I always keep perfect form on these. Please let me know

If you don't have a foot of lateral shoulder movement ( meaning you're not jerking the last few reps) before failure than you're doin' okay. Set your goals and go for it ... forget about what others think or how much progress they have made.
