123.6 Lb Bicep Preacher X 2


James Retarides

Recommended Posts

Now you gotta do it against a bicep blaster without moving your elbow and holding the blaster steady with your other hand! with back against a wall starting from the ground each rep!

Awesome man!

I love you man.

Dear Cinnamon, eggs, milk: WTF did any of that mean? I am guessing there is some inside joke I am not privy to.

Love James

It meant "Troll". I have no idea what that guy was all about - strange one.

Ah, thanks for the clarification Chris. I don't check the board enough to know the trolls. Armwrestling message boards were full of them.

I liked him. He didn't overpost and the things he did say were brilliantly stupid. I think they should've let him hang around.

Kind of like the stray cat that hangs out at your mechanic's garage and everyone is cool with it.

Haha, got it. I didn't want to see the guy kicked off, I just honestly wanted to know what he was talking about.

Awesome James!!

James (like the others in the Charlotte NC) crew have an unbelievable work ethic. He did 131+lb recently with one arm for one rep (See: 131.4lb dumbbell preacher. ) and I have never seen anyone do that much in the full range of motion he uses on a preacher curl bench (which pretty much forces you to be strict). This is also a very dangerous movement as well, as bailing on this weight could get ugly.

James: Taylor and I should be at practice at Bob’s this Saturday.

Great to hear Scott! I haven't seen Taylor in months! I think I am going to take a shot at 60kg (132+lbs) and then back off them. As you mentioned strict and dangerous and when the bicep fails with that much weight the effects can be dramatic.

Yes, I just started training for it a few weeks ago. I got a good curl without leaning with 92.8 lbs. i have literally never done curls like those before because I feel a strain in my shoulder when I do them (even with lighter weight). From armwrestling I always tried to train biceps with my elbows isolated (as well as other muscle groups). I am going to try to cut the weight down for a while and get used to the movement and when it gets more comfortable I will try to do some one-RM stuff

James I'm late to the party but incredible feat. I've been raming up curl work as of late and this is a monster lift. Congrats on hitting your goals!

Thanks Austin! I have a few more I would like to hit before the end of the year. I am a bit fat right now. I have that fear that I will lose strength as I lose weight. At least that's the excuse I am telling my wife
