MIGHTYSAXON Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 a lot of weight for hardly any movement he should stick with 200lbs cause he does wrist curls then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 It hardly leaves his palm. I'm not saying he's not strong but that lift doesn't impress me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tukkergrip Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ?????Pretty strong probably!! He really holds the dumbell with his wrist. Though he curls it for about 1cm, he must be really strong. I wonder what he could tabletop curl. Armwrestlers don't need only full ROM wrist curls as most wrist strength is applied when the wrist is bend towards the forearm. Most people want to see a full range of motion curl and keep of slagging good lifts but that doesn;t make any sense. This is no Sri Chinmoy lol!

Schweinemann Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Flip da Flop da Flip Flip Flop your wrist was once top. Awesome way to injure your wrist - sooner or later. Edited May 10, 2011 by Schweinemann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightertrainer Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Despite his form, how many of us can hold that much weight the way he did it? The back of his palm was unsupported at parallel. That is a lot of weight just to hold it like that w/o breaking the wrist. Isometric strength was very good. Please no need to think about regular full range wrist curl. He did it the way he did it, and it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The back of his hand was not parallel, at least not in the 230# vid. The weight is tilted back towards his thumb. I'd have to watch the others more closely. Even calling those quarter reps would be generous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to watch the others more closely. Even calling those quarter reps would be generous I certainly can't do that the way I saw it with that weight. Can you Jad? His hand's unsupported, and this is armwrestling exercise, so why people keep so hang up on full range motion? No need for full range if you just want your nervous system to get used to super heavy load. You get the benefit w/o blowing your wrist however. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for full range if you just want your nervous system to get used to super heavy load. You get the benefit w/o blowing your wrist however. IMO I'm a state level 90kg puller and he's a very good heavy so what's it going to say if I can do it? Nobody is getting hung up on full ROM. The problem is when his hand doesn't hit parallel, note I'm saying parallel, I'm not complaining about full ROM, his bones, not his wrist are supporting it. I'm not saying he's not strong but that's not a wrist curl, even with the AW caveats about ROM. I'm more impressed with the fact that he can just hold 331# with one hand while bent over at the waist; strong for sure but let's not call it something it's not.

lifesnotfair Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Josh your wrist is stronger than you think. Why is it so hard to find a super strict 35# plate wrist curl video like yours? And you got two reps. Do you still train that movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabertl Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Man,.. I don't think a lot of guys could even lower the bar proberly... I mean, I saw a lot of guys training deadlifts with 120-150kg... and then a hold... for me it't impressive... also the 88kg reps were impressive, but in other ways. but as schweineman mentioned.. very high risk of injury... very high!

G-Man Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 That kind of holding strength is very impressive, especially at that angle. I currently do high reps (20-100) with a 210 but not at that angle and there are times it feels like the wrists are going to break. Mr. Nowak's bones must very strong and only getting stronger training like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've done some pretty heavy Dumbbell wrist curls myself as a lot of you know, and I never tear down another persons lifts. But the form he used just looked odd to me. But hey, until we load up a bar with 230 pounds and try it, I'll leave it at that. This summer I will be shooting for 150 pound Dumb-bell Wrist curl for at leats 5 reps at my current body weight of 203 pounds (I'm 6' 1" tall. I will post it on YouTube.

Just wanted to add that this was after several hundred forced reps with the RB330N, so I wasn't 100%. Fresh should be even better - my wrists are pretty sick now.

lifesnotfair Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Schweinemann: I think G-man truly does everything he claims, just that he uses worse form or shorter ROM than one imagines when thinking of some movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, sorry then, thought you were questioning 130 reps with a 210 DB (if they were Full ROM, this would be out of this world). Still even if they are "Sri Chimnoy" reps it would be pretty tough to even hold that big of a DB for whatever time it takes to move it 130 times. I still wonder what the ROM is on these.

G-Man Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oh, sorry then, thought you were questioning 130 reps with a 210 DB I was way off in counting my reps. Sometimes when it burns, you have a tendency of counting much higher than what you actually do. I will have my personal best for both right and left-handed uploaded shortly.
