lifesnotfair Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I can't, because my gym only has dumbells that go up to 140lbs. Really!! Well, in my own case, I'm hammer curling 40lbs and trying to go up to 45 soon... in the EZ bar I was using the 80lbs the last time I tried them - but I quit on them, and I'm now doing chins twice a week. So, if it's the same ratio as mine, you'd be EZ-bar curling nearly 300lbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if it's the same ratio as mine, you'd be EZ-bar curling nearly 300lbs? Probably not. I weigh 300 and if I tried to curl that, it would pull me over. Maybe 185 pounds tops, on a straight or EZ-curl bar. I only use between 80-90 pounds on a regular dumbell curl. Hey, if you only have 140 pound dumbells at your gym, then you can do a couple of reps!

lifesnotfair Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 That's a big dumbell you're rowing bro... jeez. I'm doing pendlay rows instead of dumbell rows because I felt with the dumbells it's almost impossible not to cheat. Would you say you were rowing that 205lbs dumbell strictly??

Would you say you were rowing that 205lbs dumbell strictly?? Not as strict as the 175. 175 was smooth and strict. On the 205, I lifted my shoulder from a horizontal plane, a bit at the top. 185 would have been the ticket tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 First time doing these? Yes. I made the machine yesterday. If you don't mind me asking..... You're close on the #4, right? Well, wouldn't some pinky/ring finger strength help more than inverted closes, which place enphasis (sp?) on the top two fingers? Why did you make it inverted? Just curious!

Just curious! I can still just do ring and pinkie closes and negatives on the machine. It was made that way, as it was the easiest way to convert the leg extension/leg curl attachment.
