What's your max dumbell curl and how do you guys get bigger

Idk I don't 1rm on bicep work but I use 45 for reps so somewhere above there id imagine

As for getting bigger biceps, drop the weight and shoot for like 12 reps or higher making sure you go all the way down to your sides, do that for like 4 or 5 sets

Light weight high reps. 5 sets of 10-15 using 25s for you sounds about right.

I don't use dumbells to curl because I can't get a pump using them.


I get a massive fucking pump doing bicep curls on a cable station, so I just do that. I can do 100lbs x 10-12 or so.

For reps
Standing- 50
Preacher- 65

One rep max on a bicep exercise might be a form of autism

Nothing targets biceps better imo then ez bar curls preacher or normal...21's work wonders for biceps and drop sets

Yours won't grow because you're 1rm your fucking tiniest muscle. I was able to do 60's for 8-10 reps each arm but that won't help me. Had most of my bicep gains with ridiculous dropsets and 5sets of 12 reps like >>41660981

Additionally, do some fucking compounds like Pullups and Rows.

Almost forgot, chin-ups are amazing for breaking down biceps

strict curl is a competitive lift in some federations. It becomes hard as fuck when you do it leaning against a wall

it's just as much of a strength feat as deadlifts tbqhfam rippetoe victim

Adding cheat reps, negatives, and weighted stretching. Not all at once however. Ill do standard sets then pick one of the above. After heavy compounds i can rep 55 just about to break into 60 for reps. This being with hammer grip.

When doing negatives ill pick about 5-10 lbs higher than my standard curl max.

tell yourself you're going to curl the 40kg but then actually pick up the 5kg weights and curl with your eyes closed as much as you can. Your body will be tricked into thinking you're doing hundreds of 40kg curls and you'll get mad gains
