He said if he is trying for a sixth 180 pound straight bar curl. Im fairly certain his first five are in proper form. (Very impressed with that by the way, my straight bar curls are 5x5 with 155)

I can’t curl with a straightbar because it kills my wrist.
If I could I am sure I would curl about 900 pounds.
The easiest way to curl 900 pounds is to buy your weights in the UK
waaaaaaaaaaahh I am Mr Funny man
Come on guys stop arguing, without specific details such as what these guys are doing, how long they train, how big they are, and whether they use roids, GH, synthol or are naturally big and or fat, everyone is making assumptions.
The guiding principle is that if it works, use it.
If it is working for them, maybe look at what they are doing. But don’t assume it is what you see in the gym. They might be stuffing around socialising and do the real work earlier in the day or at home or who knows what. Or even a month ago and now they are just social lifting. Who frikkin knows.

Only 900? Whimp! 
The more I train, the better my genetics get…
um well in the one case I personally can think of it has nothing to do with genetics…buddy will do one set of one exercise per bodypart then go and do arms …EVERY FUCKIN DAY
just want to see whats going through his head one of these days
Ok, here’s another situation. What about the guy who never does legs, only benches and cable pulls, and wears the SAME outfit everyday? He is always in a black t-shirt, jeans, and Eastland-like boots. Same outfit, same exercises, every time he’s there.

it could be they have good genetics and get big despite themselves.
Flip it around:
Imagine how big they could be if they actually knew what they were doing.
My comment was in response to the following:
“What’s up with those guys in the gym who obviously don’t know what they’re doing, slinging around weight like a circus act, yet still have huge arms, chest, back”
My response, is yes they do know what they are doing. There are many people on this forum that have criticized videos of Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman, saying they have horrible form.
As opposed to the 160lb pencil neck doing curls with a 5lb plate on each side.
All I am saying is that, there are times that it looks like I am slinging weight around, but in fact I am doing it for a reason. I occasionally incorporate cheat movements and partial ROMs and it works wonders for me.
I also have what some would call shitty genetics. I’m predisposed to being fat, my arms were miniscule compared to the rest of my body before I started training, and my back naturally overpowers every other one of my bodyparts.
I have worked very hard to over come these issues and I have had a good number of people make an off handed remark such as, “You must have great genetics”, yet they know nothing of my training history, or that I was once a pudgy 15 year old sneaking oreos 8 at a time.
I really don’t think you should be pointing a finger saying “that people that sling weight around” either have great genetics, use roids or both, when you have no idea of their training history, diet, etc.
Maybe you should get off your soap box for minute, and consider the fact that there are people that may know something you do not.
