I'm with ya gymrat re: big numbers. Legflexxxer, my left elbow and left tricep tendon are giving me problems. But I am right handed! Right arm is primed and ready to go.
Hey Legflexxer - tendonitis can be both agonizing an frustrating - one step forward, three back.
As an old guy i've had to learn how to NOT hurt myself. A few things to keep in mind:
1. always warm up with very light weights first - this not only warms the muscle but lubricates the joint - where tendons SLIDE
2. pay attention to form. Some angles impinge tendons more than others. I have to be really careful o curls due to biceps tendon bursitis where it passes through the shoulder joint.
OTOH, in general, once i'm fully warm and pumped, i can do almost anything.
THE FOUR TOP PERFORMERS...total weight moved(best performances)
CONGRATS TO ALL!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
SDgrappler.....................4825.5kgs 🏆 🏆
ArmwrestleAndMore.....4104.0kgs 🏆 🏆
drahtman........................4200.0kgs
legflexxer........................4100.0kgs
After getting beat out by drahtman and legflexxxer, i figured I better up the weight a bit! Seated dumbell hammer curls this morning with the 35 lb (15.9 kg) dumbells!
RH - 41
LH - 41
Going to be coming after your sanding curls too!!
Lets keep putting in the work friends!
Looks like we have a Seated Hammer Curl tie...
legflexxxer
drahtman
Congrats to both of you 💪🏻🏆
Will they out muscle...
SDgrappler in the other categories?
Stay tuned...the battle continues...
OK I tried standing bicep curls, no twist of arm, straight curls. Cold no warm up, reasonable form but left was a bit shitty at the end.
Was amazed at left, I got 50 reps right, 50 reps left. At 10kg! I'm pumped now, I can feel yesterday's soreness too. I might just get into this haha! I Also had 3.5 hours no gi wrestling last night, should keep me fit! Bring it on
Strength (at the gym - curl machine - both hands): 65kg x 10 repeats for 3 sets
(curl machine - one hand): 32kg x8 for 3 sets
Endurance: Single arm barbell standing at 10,2 kg
Right: 24x
Left: 28x
(Did this the day after training arms at home, so have to repeat this after a longer pause for better results)
In the Sheets isn't the score 50 50 standing bicep curls from Legflexxxer and also not standing hammercirls from him with 41 reps right and 53 reps left by 10kg
I can do my curls tomorrow when back in my apartment.
The sheet is updated.
We should all keep trying to match SDgrappler, or at least improve our own positions.
Go heavier, go lighter and pump out more reps. Whatever it takes!
Damn, I was thinking of having a day to rest today before trying the Concentration Curls with 10.2Kg but drahtman just took my top ranking. Now I have to try it again today!
I guess it doesn't matter what weight is used if we are using the total weight pushed/pulled to determine the leader 🏆
So yes guys go for the higher weight if you can...👍🏻👍🏻
@drahtman....a video of you performing would be SUPER! 💪🏻💪🏻
Guys, I added Legflexxers results to the spreadsheet. I also added pictorial guide to the exercise so we are all on the same page.
I added a second sheet for the Standing Bicep Curl, again with a picture showing this and copied Lakul's results to that. Now he is the only one of us to have attempted that test so a new challenge is set. Lakul: please verify that this is what you did. Then the rest of us will try.
Maybe if we get a few other suggestions for dumbbell exercises we can not only have competitions for each exercise separately, but a combined one where you do as many of every exercise in turn as possible (I suggest that the order is flexible, but only one set of each exercise and no rest in between). What do you guys think?
Here is something we can try...
Here is a challenge for you...
At the very least it will be a good workout....
It consists of basic exercises but lots of them...
1- Sit-ups... 200 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
2- Push-ups...150 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period... biceps and chest are burning by this time
3- Pull-ups... 75 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
4- Preacher/ bicep curls... 75 total weight being 1/2 your body weight and must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Sounds extremely ambitious. Even if I had access to somewhere to do pulls ups I don’t think I could do one after all those push-ups (I think 50 is probably a target for me as I haven’t been to the gym for decades).
Not sure I can do one of half my body weight.
Hey guys... looks like
ArmwrestleAndMore is in first place 🏆
Who will take the trophy from him??
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore Cap you add legflexxer’s results, please 👍🏻
I just rechecked my weights and must apologise to the group. The dumbbell I used was 9.2Kg. I tried the test again and improved my score. Maybe I have a few more reps, but this effort is - I think - close to the best I can do.
Not lifted a weight for 2.5 years so thought I'd try. Got a imbalance, always have, lifted cold no warm up. A slight pause for a few secs on last couple of reps. Right 44, left 32, all at 10kg.
I could smash this with some training! Best right arm yet 😉
Here are my results...
20lbs or 9.1kg
Right 9.1 x 32 reps = 290kg
Left 9.1 x 35 reps = 317kg
Total reps performed 67
Total weight moved 607kg
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore...can you make a spread sheet?
It will be difficult to determine who is stronger with all the slight weight variations so this may work...
I took the total reps times the weight used...
lakul
R 10kg x 37 = 370kg
L 10kg x 35 = 350kp
Total reps performed 72
Total weight moved 720kg
ArmwrestleAndMore
R 9.5 x 34 = 323kg
L 9.5 x 42 = 399 kg
Total reps performed 76
Total weight moved 722 kg
With that analysis I’d say you guy are pretty evenly matched
In an actual arm wrestle match I would think....
lakul would win right arm and ArmwrestleAndMore would win left arm
Great job guys..
If anyone else has a better way to decide please share thoughts
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Also, concentration curls or supinated curls? A supinated curl is starting the lift as a hammer curl and then twisting the wrist up as you raise the weight up to the top of the movement.

@ArmwrestleAndMore..very impressive...you are the leader in two categories
drahtman (30)
2019-09-21 10:17(Som svar till detta)
So. Starting this morning cold standing. 10kg. 44left and 55right. But this depends highly on Tempo... first 30 were quick last ones slowlier...
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-21 10:33(Som svar till detta)
Nice job my friend. Just one more rep would have given you the top spot.
drahtman (30)
2019-09-21 10:54(Som svar till detta)
Next one Half an hour later. Conc. Curl. Left 40 right 44.

Damn, I was thinking of having a day to rest today before trying the Concentration Curls with 10.2Kg but drahtman just took my top ranking. Now I have to try it again today!

Where are all the other BIG GUNS????
drahtman (30)
2019-09-20 11:55(Som svar till detta)
I try hopefully this we. But will use more weight. 50 Reps is more endurance then strength.
sisuperman (10)
2019-09-20 14:18(Som svar till detta)
I guess it doesn't matter what weight is used if we are using the total weight pushed/pulled to determine the leader 🏆
So yes guys go for the higher weight if you can...👍🏻👍🏻
@drahtman....a video of you performing would be SUPER! 💪🏻💪🏻

I will continue to see if I can improve but Im sure a bigger stronger lad will soon wipe me out.

2019-09-18 21:27Guys, I added Legflexxers results to the spreadsheet. I also added pictorial guide to the exercise so we are all on the same page.
I added a second sheet for the Standing Bicep Curl, again with a picture showing this and copied Lakul's results to that. Now he is the only one of us to have attempted that test so a new challenge is set. Lakul: please verify that this is what you did. Then the rest of us will try.
Maybe if we get a few other suggestions for dumbbell exercises we can not only have competitions for each exercise separately, but a combined one where you do as many of every exercise in turn as possible (I suggest that the order is flexible, but only one set of each exercise and no rest in between). What do you guys think?
HardfightFfm (73 )
2019-09-19 15:27(Som svar till detta)
Great the two sheets.
Perhaps we can involve hammercurls sitting and standing position. So we would make always biceps curls like the topic says.
legflexxxer (31 )
2019-09-20 10:23(Som svar till detta)
1st go at standing hammer curls this morn. 41 reps right. 53 left (weird!) at 10kg. Took a vid of right too.
Aching elbows now 3 days of doing this in a row cold!
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-19 18:44(Som svar till detta)
Let’s see some results from you for the concentration curls HardfightFfm. If you prefer maybe you can set the first benchmark for Hammer Curls

sisuperman (10)
2019-09-18 21:34(Som svar till detta)
Here is something we can try...
Here is a challenge for you...
At the very least it will be a good workout....
It consists of basic exercises but lots of them...
1- Sit-ups... 200 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
2- Push-ups...150 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period... biceps and chest are burning by this time
3- Pull-ups... 75 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
4- Preacher/ bicep curls... 75 total weight being 1/2 your body weight and must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-18 22:55(Som svar till detta)
Sounds extremely ambitious. Even if I had access to somewhere to do pulls ups I don’t think I could do one after all those push-ups (I think 50 is probably a target for me as I haven’t been to the gym for decades).
Not sure I can do one of half my body weight.
legflexxxer (31 )
2019-09-18 23:04(Som svar till detta)
Ditto that, even after all my fitnessf rom wrestling I couldnt do that!!
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )

OK, I am standing. Next time I will sitting
HardfightFfm (73 )
2019-09-18 17:43(Som svar till detta)
And so concentration curls no hammer curls or others!
lakul (2)
2019-09-18 17:44(Som svar till detta)
Yes, concentration
Elbows free or on the thigh?
legflexxxer (31 )
2019-09-18 17:45(Som svar till detta)
On thigh it right technique I beleive to isolate bicep
sisuperman (10)

Hey guys... looks like
ArmwrestleAndMore is in first place 🏆
Who will take the trophy from him??
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore Cap you add legflexxer’s results, please 👍🏻
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-18 00:27Sure. Here it is:-
https://sheet.zoho.eu/sheet/published.do?rid=1j0u7ad649f12bed14176a4fffccce4c34a05
I just rechecked my weights and must apologise to the group. The dumbbell I used was 9.2Kg. I tried the test again and improved my score. Maybe I have a few more reps, but this effort is - I think - close to the best I can do.

legflexxxer (31 )
2019-09-18 09:54(Som svar till detta)
Not lifted a weight for 2.5 years so thought I'd try. Got a imbalance, always have, lifted cold no warm up. A slight pause for a few secs on last couple of reps. Right 44, left 32, all at 10kg.
I could smash this with some training! Best right arm yet 😉

ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-17 18:34I like the science (well, mathematics) involved.
Must whip up a quick spreadsheet!
How about you do the challenge Sisuperman?
sisuperman (10)
2019-09-17 20:30(Som svar till detta)
Here are my results...
20lbs or 9.1kg
Right 9.1 x 32 reps = 290kg
Left 9.1 x 35 reps = 317kg
Total reps performed 67
Total weight moved 607kg
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore...can you make a spread sheet?
lakul (2)
2019-09-17 21:06(Som svar till detta)
Today 10 kg
Right 42
Left 38
lakul (2)
2019-09-17 21:31(Som svar till detta)
Right 10 x 42 reps = 420 kg
Left 10 x 38 reps = 380 kg
Total reps performed 80

ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-16 23:27My dumbbells are 9.5kg
Right 34 reps
left 42 reps.
lakul (2)
2019-09-17 14:01(Som svar till detta)
You've got 9.5 kg, I've got 10. Which one of us is stronger now?
sisuperman (10)
2019-09-17 15:45(Som svar till detta)
It will be difficult to determine who is stronger with all the slight weight variations so this may work...
I took the total reps times the weight used...
lakul
R 10kg x 37 = 370kg
L 10kg x 35 = 350kp
Total reps performed 72
Total weight moved 720kg
ArmwrestleAndMore
R 9.5 x 34 = 323kg
L 9.5 x 42 = 399 kg
Total reps performed 76
Total weight moved 722 kg
With that analysis I’d say you guy are pretty evenly matched
In an actual arm wrestle match I would think....
lakul would win right arm and ArmwrestleAndMore would win left arm
Great job guys..
If anyone else has a better way to decide please share thoughts

2019-09-15 16:20Also, concentration curls or supinated curls? A supinated curl is starting the lift as a hammer curl and then twisting the wrist up as you raise the weight up to the top of the movement.

So what weight was decided on?

2019-09-14 16:21Challenge u three: lakul, superbicep and ArmwrestleAndMore.

Looks like we have a competition here once they agree on the weight...
Grrrrrr....
May the strongest bicep win ;-)))
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
2019-09-14 15:56Maybe 22lbs is better as those of us in Europe can use a 10kg dumbbell. An 11kg dumbbell is maybe difficult to find.

hi there
in fact 25 lbs is close to 12 kg
iakul is also i neurope, so i think he means 12 kg
lakul (2)
2019-09-14 17:49(Som svar till detta)
Right, 10 oder 12 kg
ArmwrestleAndMore (163 )
