>that guy who does curls even though he can't squat

I've never squatted or deadlifted before. All I do is bench press and curls. This is okay, right?

>>37862388
yeah man the dubs don't lie

Why shouldn't you do curls?

What is wrong with it exactly?

>>37862403

Until you're actually strong you are literally better doing frequent chinups and rows than you are doing frequent curls.

>>37862403
If done with incorrect form they can actually curve your bones. OP is saying that only the more experienced lifters should do them

>>37862453
What if I do both?

Chinups nor rows hit my biceps hard enough so i throw in 3x8 hammer curls

>>37862403
Only fat powerlifters say shit like this because they are loathing all the time they wasted to look like shit when chad who only does curls and bench fucks their crush.

>the guy who cares about strength but looks like shit

>>37862455
>they can actually curve your bones

That sounds plausible, any source on that?

>>37862403

fucking nothing wrong with doing curls.

>>37862357
I squat 2.5 times my bodyweight. Can I do curls, you fucking faggot?

>>37862464

As long as you do your compound first it's okay, but you should still try harder.

>>37862470

Not true, training biceps has its place in powerlifting. It helps prevent elbow problems and helps with stabilizing the bench press. Curls are normally part of offseason training for a powerlifter.

>>37862532
>As long as you do your compound first it's okay, but you should still try harder.

of course I do my compounds first.

I do bent over barbell rows and then lat pulldowns and then finally cable rows for example. and I add tricep pushdowns and hammer curls. I don't see how they would possibly negatively affect my compounds

>>37862548

they don't. continue doing them.

People around here say really stupid shit. It's like they are so anti curlbro they go in the opposite direction. Squat everyday don't curl unless you squat 2.5 bodyweight blah blah blah this thread isn't serious but you see it here all the time.

Just do some curls. It's not a problem. Like the guy said do all accessory work after your compounds.

>>37862548

That's all fine and dandy, I prefer db rows to barbell rows though because of the allowance of a larger range of motion and chinups to pullups because of the bigger bicep activation, which lets you do more weight. I'm not saying don't ever do curls, but I'm saying they're significantly less useful until you're actually strong.

>>37862579
Yeah i think it's the SS meme gone a little too far.

Being a curl bro is foolish but it doesn't mean "le beginners don't need any arm work at all!".

>>37862588
What if i'm trying to get stronger as a whole?

i squat 4-5 times a week, surely doing curls two times a week would make sense to actually let my arms not look atrophied compared to my legs?

>Not able to squat 420lbs

Yeah I'm not too worried about that

>>37862600

It it's part of your goals go ahead and do your curls. Also SS isn't actually a meme, if you read the book Rippetoe suggests tons of different accessory exercises to fit into your routine including stuff for upper back, arms, chest and shoulders. The core of the program is just the daily squats, deadlifts, and alternating >the press™ and bench press.

>>37862357
I know this is bait butt fuck it this lil fishy gonna bite.
I wouldn't have a problem with you talking down curls(even tho I do them and love doing all different types of them) cuz there is legitimate debate about their necessity for an overall back/pull day, but why on earth would squats aka a leg day lift have anything to do with whether or not to curl? Unless we talking about leg curls but I assume we aren't.

>>37862357
Hurr durr mu squat

>>37862477
That's why they're called curls, dingus. They will eventually curl your arm bones.

>>37862357

Post pics/videos of lifts OP

Oh wait.

>>37862738
Will deadlifts make me dead?

I already know the one about skullcrushers. My head is indented now.

>>37862357
Enjoy your bicep tear summerdyel.

>>37862801

Probably won't get a bicep tear but will get elbow pain/tendonitis.

>>37862738
Kek nice bro science brah. What study did you read this from?

>>37862954

are you really that stupid?

> doing curls
>not squatting 450lbs
seems reasonable for me...

>>37862403
It's an advanced exercise that should only be started after 2-3 years of serious lifting

>>37862979

>He can't squat 450 lbs

Lmao weak fag.

>>37862980
I'm dyel af but curl 135 with perfect form. What are you gonna do about it?

>>37862453
But I'm already doing pull ups
Won't adding chin ups be too much for my lats?

>>37863010
plus I can already do like 15 chin ups so they're too easy at this point

>>37863010
That better be in megagrams

>>37863008
kek
I'm 6'6 long legged and a beginner, no wonder I ain't squat very heavy

>>37863048

Chinups work your biceps more than pullups and use your lats just as much. Basically they let you do more weight or more reps. Alternating is good.

>>37863081

>>37863062

So if I can already do 15+ reps what's the point?

I've never understood why people skip on compounds
Doing compounds with perfect form and heavy weight make me feel like my body is lined with steel; feels stronk mang
I only do somethin' like 3 sets of hammer curls and reg. curls after Back/Pull days and my arms are solid from powerlifting

>>37863145
A tall guy moves weight way further than a short guy. You don't need a physics class to know that makes it harder. Besides legs are a meme, suns out guns out.

Nope. Apparently you don't understand angles vs. Distance plus I'm assuming you're a regular human being whose skeleton is almost completely wrapped in muscle so why on earth would height be a detriment. Tall guys have the most potential cuz their frame supports more muscle. You my friend are nothing more than a simpering, soft headed pussy.

>>37863300
You're telling me you think at 6'4 squatting ass to grass I take the weight the same distance as a guy who is 5'6? Or that when we bench we move the weight the same distance?

>>37863321
I used a tried and true phrase though. Suns out guns, not "suns out roll up your shorts and flex your quad because people totally care"

>>37862357
>You quads are so sexy
No girl ever

>>37863324
There it is bois
He's saying manlets are objectively better at lifting

>>37863300
>Tall guys have the most potential cuz their frame supports more muscle.
well, no
while in absolute numbers a tall guy can lift heavier weights, proportionally he'll be able to carry far less than a manlet - as the muscle mass potential is not directly linked with height. plus, he'll have to do (far) more work for lifting the same weight. these are the two combined reasons why gymnasts are generally manlets, but powerlifters are generally tall.

>>37863324
Lol ass to grass meme is shit. 90 degree at the knee is all you need. Like sitting in a chair. Seriously all these dyels self teaching off the internet are gonna make physical therapists rich af

>he's never been complimented on his quads

Add weight.

>>37863347

It's not that girls don't care about legs. Girls just don't care about your legs because you have none.

Most pickups are done at a bar or a club and I assure you no one is looking at your legs, I'd give you ass but not legs. Arms chest abs and ass are probably the big 4 at a bar.

What is considered a "strong" curl?

Well yeah pound for pound manlets have the advantage but anon was attempting to say that because of his height he can't squat heavy and that's simply not true being tall gives you a higher potential for raw numbers, provided, of course, that you aren't a pussy. Put it this way Larry Allen squats 900 lbs which seems incredible but was an NFL offensive tackle was well over 6 foot and weighed 300 lbs. So its actually just 3 times his body weight but if at 150 lbs I lift three times my body weight it only equals 450 both of us are strong and in good shape for our frames but he still lifts way more than me.

>>37863463
Kek have fun with your basic bitches. Why don't you pick them up at gym, class, work, or other places of social normalcy

>>37863728
Let's just be honest for a second. What do you think the ratio of upper body mires to leg mires is? I wouldn't give it less than like 10 to 1 personally based on what I've seen and my own experiences.

>>37863788

I get more 'mires from my butt(besides my face) than anything else, even though I have 16.5 in arms.

>>37863825
That's fair, I included ass in the big 4 though. I'm talking legs specifically.

Lol your argument is trash
>just legs not butt
Your butt is part of legs. The biggest most notable part in fact
What if I said
>just arms not bi ceps
See? Trash logic makes no sense. Truth is some gals like upper some lower some both. A proper fisherman casts a wide net.
