astrojetred Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes, it depends on how strict the curl was. If you did it with out any swinging or shrugging, and your upper arm was straight, and you brought it all the way to your shoulder, then you're a beast.

Stew Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Try curling competition style IE with buttocks,upper back and head all against a wall. you must complete the lift without any of those parts coming out of contact with the wall. This will keep the lift very strict and give you a true indicator of bicep power. What you have done already sounds good for a 16yr old but this would give a better indicator of your strength, I would say if you can do 50lb in that style you will be doing pretty well.
