joet1102000 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hey, does anyone know where I can find out about any upcoming curling competitions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 How do they contest those to avoid "cheating" the weight up? I have never seen one. Got any videos or websites devoted to curl competitions. Gosh, I hope you are talking about bicep curls andf not that game they play on ice..... -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joet1102000 Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 Yes, I am talking bicep curls. They do have strict curl competitions at some powerlifting competitions but there have not been any near me yet. I was hoping to enter one if any come close.

Dave H Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 The United States Strict-Curl Ass. hosts contests often. I have competed in many. Other competitions can also be found in the Mid-west. As far as cheating goes, in some comps, some body movement is allowed. When you have that much weight swinging out in front of you, then a counter-balance movement is excepted in order to keep from falling over. They just do not want you to bend your knees to start the lift. That will be a foul. The United States Strict-Curl Ass. requires that you stand against a wall with your head and shoulders against it. And the head and shoulders cannot leave the wall at anytime during the curl. Other comps are half-body weight for reps. I have done 20 with 107.5 pounds. My current 1-rep max. in a competition is 165 at a body-weight of 217. Sixgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeP Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 NASA powerlifting used to do "power sports" which included curls, check the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I used to have the number to a guy named Kevin Maskew (I think that was his name). If you run a search on your search engine, you may find the United States Strict-curl Ass. Sixgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 One more thing, Milo used to cover the events, so if you have any back issues of Milo laying around you might find a number in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Kevin Meskew's e-mail is warrior01@earthlink.net.Don't know his phone#. I think he had a strict curl meet last may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
