OP, invest in some “dit da jow” and double up on your glucosamine and MSM. If you plan to keep this up, at least give your tendons all you can to get them stronger and heal faster.

Which seems to be missing here. I would rather work on getting that curl weight up to 90lbs or heavier than purposely stress my tendons to the point of near rupture just for the hell of it because “it’s fun!!”.
Like the kids using shit-stabbing form pulling from the floor. “495 and I shit my pants in the process!” YAY! I witnessed this shit yesterday. No lift, horrible form. I was cringing the whole time looking at him. He can’t feel good this morning. I will NEVER pull from the floor ever again. On subject: Count wtf? No, you curl heavier and heavier. That’s fun. Only the LaBuff/Shuga generation can get away with such acrobatics because they rarely work over 20lbs per arm. You know? 90lbers for curls just isn’t functional. [/quote]
I might be wrong here on the idea of f"unctional" but it seems the heavier you lift the more "functional you are. Like say in my case, I can pull a small car a decent distance to a gas station ( true story) but someone who uses 20 poun DB proll couldnt. So wouldnt I be more funtional than them?
Anyway, I’m going to keep going on my curls but I’m gonna be “slow and controlled”-man that sounds like love making- which I rarely do because of my animalistic nature. Damn it! I just have to explode
Doing the wop with 63.8725lb dumbbells increased my biceps from 15.5 to 19 in 2 months.

I didn’t say I always lifted “slow and controlled”. I would describe it as “relatively fast and controlled” if anything.
Drop catch curls are a valid method of training your biceps. That being said, I would never rely soley upon them for my training. I still would be very concerned as previously mentioned that you could potentially rupture your bicep tendon if you go too heavy with it.

Dude, sticking your arm into slow moving traffic and attempting to stop the cars by curling their bumpers might be a “valid method of training biceps” to someone as well but that doesn’t make it smart.

I only do those to warm up.
On a second note, that made me crack up X. FU.

How do you toss an 80lb dumbell from hand to hand?[/quote]
I dont think it is hand to hand. it sounds like its one arm at a time??? start at the top then drop it and catch with the same hand??? IDK
