Armdruecken-Armwrestling

Anybody up for a duel? Both will record a video, same technique. Same weight lifted.

How does this work?

Hey Boys...it has been a while
I found a chat room some of you might be interested in #Bicep Challenge room.....
check it out

Sounds good!!!

Its been a while since a few of us challenged eachother

where?

Is that char room here?

Yes....
Bicep Challenge

Some big numbers are being tossed around here. Where's the videos so we can verify - but more importantly see how clean these reps are? No proof?

I'm with ya gymrat re: big numbers. Legflexxxer, my left elbow and left tricep tendon are giving me problems. But I am right handed! Right arm is primed and ready to go.

Sadly both o fmy elbows are badly affected. It really gets me down. Physio is helping.

Cant wait to be back to BJJ and wrestling.

Some time since we've been on this thread!

I'm fucked for curls...golfers elbow is killing me :-(

Hey Legflexxer - tendonitis can be both agonizing an frustrating - one step forward, three back.

As an old guy i've had to learn how to NOT hurt myself. A few things to keep in mind:

1. always warm up with very light weights first - this not only warms the muscle but lubricates the joint - where tendons SLIDE

2. pay attention to form. Some angles impinge tendons more than others. I have to be really careful o curls due to biceps tendon bursitis where it passes through the shoulder joint.

OTOH, in general, once i'm fully warm and pumped, i can do almost anything.

Patience grasshopper. :-)

Great Advice , thanks Gymrat!

Im sure ill get more normal soon!

That's too bad - injuries are frustrating.

Especially as I get older (ok, ok, old) my first mantra is "do no harm"

News fromm me: concentratio curls:
left 37 reps
Right 32 reps but
Only 5 KG.
10 KG ist too less reps

Niiiice. Keep upping the reps bro

I'll do as u told me

Just tried 14kg on dumb bell, standing curls.

30 right, 28 left.

Not as good as 10kgs but more weight (40% more) per rep

Not bad. Ill try sunday if i can catch u

Schwer auf Draht. heavy on wire?
Drahtesel. Wire donkey. I always take it with me on holiday.

So guys. Standing hammer: 15kg: left 32 right 38.

Nice work man! Keep pushing for more!

It’s the weekend now guys so time for everyone to put in a big effort to improve their results.

After getting beat out by drahtman and legflexxxer, i figured I better up the weight a bit! Seated dumbell hammer curls this morning with the 35 lb (15.9 kg) dumbells!
RH - 41
LH - 41
Going to be coming after your sanding curls too!!
Lets keep putting in the work friends!

Cool man... Great results... Let's keep gunning

Ok guys. Now we come to the End... wait...

Yeah was thrilled to overtake SD, was sweating buckets by the end

I'm coming for you next on the standing curls ArmwrestleAndMore! You set the bar high! But i love a good challenge haha!
Keep up the hard work man!!

That’s what I like to hear. I’m gunning for your standing hammer curls next I think

Congrats SD, you are now back on top in all categories except Standing Bicep Curls.

Another standing Hammer: 26 left 27 right but 15kg. Thats a lot harder i tell u....

Hi guys...
Standing Bicep Curls 💪🏻20lbs(9.1kgs)
Right 26
Left. 27
Not great 😜

Congrats guys for the new records.

https://sheet.zoho.eu/sheet/published.do?rid=1j0u7ad649f12bed14176a4fffccce4c34a05

Shoulders/Arms today. Hammercurls standing 12kg: left/right alternating - 22 reps

Time for an update. Looks like I got 2nd place in concentration curls.
Left still letting me down massively. Right is really strong.

My results this morning are 36 x 10kg left, 60 x 10kg right, total 960kg

Looks like the highest right arm result yet, come on shitty left weak side.

Looks like we have a Seated Hammer Curl tie...
legflexxxer
drahtman
Congrats to both of you 💪🏻🏆
Will they out muscle...
SDgrappler in the other categories?
Stay tuned...the battle continues...

Anybody here for 15kg ? Congrats !!

Have donestanding bicep curls during the might
Left 12 reps
Right 12 reps
10 kg
Damn

Keep gunning bro! Grrr

Now standing hammer curls much harder to do I found. I also lift the dumbbells from the starting position up to my shoulders!

Right: 12 reps
Left: 14 reps
10 kg

Puhhh. So Hammer curls now 10kg.
Left 56 right 61. Congrats to the Lead ;-).

Hello

I think this is an amazing performance and I agree that if i can do more than 50 reps, it is better to use 15 kg dumbbell .

Wonder who could beat you !!

Congrats!

Sitting or standing?

So new sheet needed.
Hammer curls SITTING
Left 18 reps
Right 13 reps
10 kg

In 1 hour I'll do the next in standing position.

It looks like SDgrappler has taken the lead guys in Hammer curls 💪🏻💪🏻
Congrats to SDgrappler 🏆
That will be confirmed when the list is updated...

Damn who is this guy? He is making us all look weak

He makes me hard!

@muscufort....Who makes you hard?
Are you gonna enter the competition? 💪🏻💪🏻

Yes guy. Sure!

muscufort write here ur reps u made in each category or send them in private message to ArmetestleAndMore so he can put them in the sheet.

@muscufort...Yes big guy...Show us what you can do
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Will we see some results from you Musclefort?

Hahaha niiice. Well all be gunning
for this now.

I didn't swing them only slowly up and down.

Tried sthg new: standing but 15kg. 22 left and 25 right...

Wd love to do same stuff with more weight. F e. 15kg.

I think the time will show that the results will go up also with More weight.

OK I tried standing bicep curls, no twist of arm, straight curls. Cold no warm up, reasonable form but left was a bit shitty at the end.

Was amazed at left, I got 50 reps right, 50 reps left. At 10kg! I'm pumped now, I can feel yesterday's soreness too. I might just get into this haha! I Also had 3.5 hours no gi wrestling last night, should keep me fit! Bring it on

Okay my entry:

Strength (at the gym - curl machine - both hands): 65kg x 10 repeats for 3 sets
(curl machine - one hand): 32kg x8 for 3 sets

Endurance: Single arm barbell standing at 10,2 kg
Right: 24x
Left: 28x
(Did this the day after training arms at home, so have to repeat this after a longer pause for better results)

Good try. Has to be dumbbells to compete as cable machines are all different in terms of mechanics.

Here you go guys...
Breaking news😂😂
Hammer curls 💪🏻💪🏻
20lbs/9.07 kgs
Right 51
Left 52

Congrats, first guy to reach the tonne

👍👍 Well last left rep just counted so I'm in haha. Deffo up for more of this. Its making me want to lift again, cheers guys.

That's amazing!!
legflexxxer is the reining standing Champ 🏆
I'm glad this little competition has sparked a new interest in you ;-))

It’s reignited my desire to workout too.
Am
Waiting for “Danny Biceps”bro come in on this. He will be a competitor for sure

Excellent news....💪🏻💪🏻
can you update legflexxer and maybe add this 🏆 to the first place holder
👍🏻👍🏻

In the Sheets isn't the score 50 50 standing bicep curls from Legflexxxer and also not standing hammercirls from him with 41 reps right and 53 reps left by 10kg
I can do my curls tomorrow when back in my apartment.

Im sure armwrestleandmore will do it when hes free :-)

Latest results are out now
https://sheet.zoho.eu/sheet/published.do?rid=1j0u7ad649f12bed14176a4fffccce4c34a05

Standing dumbell curls!
20 lbs (9.07 kg)
RH - 60
LH - 57

SDgrappler has now completed all the challenges and destroyed everyone in the group.
Congrats!

Ohhh. What's this. 60 left and 60 riight at 10kg, seated hammer curl. From cold. Not bad form, a few pauses on left but I got there..arms shaking now!

Ok. Seems your arms r more equal then mine: 67 right but only 53 left and not even one single more jesus.. 10kgs

They are equal in hammers but bicep curls.!

*Not in bicep curls.

So you decided to get serious huh?! Well it's on now!! haha! Great job man!!

OH WOW!
I believe we have a new leader! The bar has risen....
legflexxxer in Seated Hammer Curls💪🏻🏆
Congrats!

Hi. Do u have the new Sheet?

Are we now entering an advanced stat of the contest??
Grrrrr... how high is high?
Who will be the Ultimate Champ?
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I dont understand what u mean...

The sheet is updated.
We should all keep trying to match SDgrappler, or at least improve our own positions.
Go heavier, go lighter and pump out more reps. Whatever it takes!

👍👍👍 Oh yes for sure!

Haha fab, top man.. But this isn't the end is it?!

legflexxxer is a little too close for my comfortable top spot on the standing dumbell curls haha! Nice work man! Lets keep pushing for more!!

@SDgrappler
💪🏻🏆💪🏻🏆💪🏻🏆💪🏻🏆
Next challenge.. up the weight
Grrrrr.....

Yeah go 15kg please hehe

My seated hammer curls
20 lbs (9.07 kg)
RH - 56
LH - 56

My concentration curls
RH 20 lbs (9.07 kg) for 63
LH 20 lbs (9.07 kg) for 56

Whilst typing my last comment SDgrappler came in and smashed it.
Tonne-up!
This guy is a beast.

Here's my hammer curls!
RH 20 lbs (9.07 kg) for 77
LH 20 lbs (9.07 kg) for 74

Great idea man! Love a little good competition! Please log in to view gallery photos.

Good man, great result. I'll be gunning at you hopefully

WOW! WOW! WOW!
Looks like we got a real competition now....
The bar keeps getting higher.
Great job to all 💪🏻🏆

Wow weld one mate. What a result on standing.

Thanks mate. My arms were shaking for a while after, but I think I could have maybe got a few more on the left.

@ArmwrestleAndMore..very impressive...you are the leader in two categories

So. Starting this morning cold standing. 10kg. 44left and 55right. But this depends highly on Tempo... first 30 were quick last ones slowlier...

Nice job my friend. Just one more rep would have given you the top spot.

Next one Half an hour later. Conc. Curl. Left 40 right 44.

Damn, I was thinking of having a day to rest today before trying the Concentration Curls with 10.2Kg but drahtman just took my top ranking. Now I have to try it again today!

Great man... thanks for your time and effort 💪🏻

Where are all the other BIG GUNS????

I try hopefully this we. But will use more weight. 50 Reps is more endurance then strength.

I guess it doesn't matter what weight is used if we are using the total weight pushed/pulled to determine the leader 🏆
So yes guys go for the higher weight if you can...👍🏻👍🏻
@drahtman....a video of you performing would be SUPER! 💪🏻💪🏻

look at those peaks you should take it!

Thanks its been fun
I will continue to see if I can improve but Im sure a bigger stronger lad will soon wipe me out.

Guys, I added Legflexxers results to the spreadsheet. I also added pictorial guide to the exercise so we are all on the same page.

I added a second sheet for the Standing Bicep Curl, again with a picture showing this and copied Lakul's results to that. Now he is the only one of us to have attempted that test so a new challenge is set. Lakul: please verify that this is what you did. Then the rest of us will try.

Maybe if we get a few other suggestions for dumbbell exercises we can not only have competitions for each exercise separately, but a combined one where you do as many of every exercise in turn as possible (I suggest that the order is flexible, but only one set of each exercise and no rest in between). What do you guys think?

Great the two sheets.
Perhaps we can involve hammercurls sitting and standing position. So we would make always biceps curls like the topic says.

1st go at standing hammer curls this morn. 41 reps right. 53 left (weird!) at 10kg. Took a vid of right too.

Aching elbows now 3 days of doing this in a row cold!

Let’s see some results from you for the concentration curls HardfightFfm. If you prefer maybe you can set the first benchmark for Hammer Curls

maybe a whole new forum for muscle comps

Sounds great...thanks for investing your time

Here is something we can try...
Here is a challenge for you...
At the very least it will be a good workout....
It consists of basic exercises but lots of them...
1- Sit-ups... 200 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
2- Push-ups...150 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period... biceps and chest are burning by this time
3- Pull-ups... 75 total must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
-5 minute rest period...
4- Preacher/ bicep curls... 75 total weight being 1/2 your body weight and must be completed in no more than 3 sets.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Sounds extremely ambitious. Even if I had access to somewhere to do pulls ups I don’t think I could do one after all those push-ups (I think 50 is probably a target for me as I haven’t been to the gym for decades).
Not sure I can do one of half my body weight.

Ditto that, even after all my fitnessf rom wrestling I couldnt do that!!

Sitting Concentration curls for me too.
Looking forward to your results HardfightFfm

Thanks guys

Yeah he looks strong!

How u so the curls guys? Sitting or Standing Position? I'll do it when back in Germany and write here the result!

OK, I am standing. Next time I will sitting

And so concentration curls no hammer curls or others!

Yes, concentration

Elbows free or on the thigh?

On thigh it right technique I beleive to isolate bicep

I did sitting concentration curls
💪🏻💪🏻

Yeah sitting concentration curls here, slight pause near end!

Hey guys... looks like
ArmwrestleAndMore is in first place 🏆
Who will take the trophy from him??
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore Cap you add legflexxer’s results, please 👍🏻

Sure. Here it is:-
https://sheet.zoho.eu/sheet/published.do?rid=1j0u7ad649f12bed14176a4fffccce4c34a05

I just rechecked my weights and must apologise to the group. The dumbbell I used was 9.2Kg. I tried the test again and improved my score. Maybe I have a few more reps, but this effort is - I think - close to the best I can do.

I'm going to have to give this a try!

Not lifted a weight for 2.5 years so thought I'd try. Got a imbalance, always have, lifted cold no warm up. A slight pause for a few secs on last couple of reps. Right 44, left 32, all at 10kg.
I could smash this with some training! Best right arm yet 😉

Nice job legglexxer...

You are currently third place, with 760 kg.

Once that left catches up, I'll be on my way..right is leading the pack

Yeah, you're right. I will improve myself.

Good lad. I might have to start some weights just to keep this going haha

You're strong. Cool duel.

Thanks man... great list

I like the science (well, mathematics) involved.
Must whip up a quick spreadsheet!
How about you do the challenge Sisuperman?

Here are my results...
20lbs or 9.1kg
Right 9.1 x 32 reps = 290kg
Left 9.1 x 35 reps = 317kg
Total reps performed 67
Total weight moved 607kg
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hey ArmwrestleAndMore...can you make a spread sheet?

Today 10 kg
Right 42
Left 38

Right 10 x 42 reps = 420 kg
Left 10 x 38 reps = 380 kg
Total reps performed 80
Total weight moved 800 kg

NICE JOB!! 💪🏻💪🏻
You are in the lead 🏆

My dumbbells are 9.5kg
Right 34 reps
left 42 reps.

You've got 9.5 kg, I've got 10. Which one of us is stronger now?

It will be difficult to determine who is stronger with all the slight weight variations so this may work...
I took the total reps times the weight used...
lakul
R 10kg x 37 = 370kg
L 10kg x 35 = 350kp
Total reps performed 72
Total weight moved 720kg
ArmwrestleAndMore
R 9.5 x 34 = 323kg
L 9.5 x 42 = 399 kg
Total reps performed 76
Total weight moved 722 kg
With that analysis I’d say you guy are pretty evenly matched
In an actual arm wrestle match I would think....
lakul would win right arm and ArmwrestleAndMore would win left arm
Great job guys..
If anyone else has a better way to decide please share thoughts
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Grrrrr.... nice

Also, concentration curls or supinated curls? A supinated curl is starting the lift as a hammer curl and then twisting the wrist up as you raise the weight up to the top of the movement.

Let's kept simply so everyone does the same thing

I was wondering: Who will be the judge?

I thought everyone post their results left max and right max...
The group will crown the strongest arm....lol

Now
37 right
35 left
10 kg
concentration curls

I kind of want to see a proof 😈

I’ll do it tomorrow night. I think you have set a good target.

Nice job💪🏻

I am rooting for Lakul. And i want to know how much u did so i can match it if i can ;)

So what weight was decided on?

Challenge u three: lakul, superbicep and ArmwrestleAndMore.

I’m game, but away for the weekend. Maybe one night during the week we can do this on Skype?

Looks like we have a competition here once they agree on the weight...
Grrrrrr....
May the strongest bicep win ;-)))

Maybe 22lbs is better as those of us in Europe can use a 10kg dumbbell. An 11kg dumbbell is maybe difficult to find.

Remind me of our old challenges! Grrr

hi there

in fact 25 lbs is close to 12 kg
iakul is also i neurope, so i think he means 12 kg

Right, 10 oder 12 kg

10kg. Links Oder Recht?

Wenn dann beide Seiten. Zugleich oder im Wechsel bzw nacheinander?

I was figuring first right to max then left to max
post results

Beide Seiten

Yes.... both sides

How about 25lbs?

sure, we ll use 25 lbs!!

will fight vs Iakul

Group , who do u think will win the dumbell challenge??

Rooting for sisiperman

Find people for duels. Who creates more repetitions per arm, with Dumbbell?

How much weight?
