Where’s 700 at? What’s the plan?

I’ll have a rough feel for where Im at next session, first heavy deadlift session in a while.

Got a deadlift and curl comp early december so going to try and hit 700 there.

700 Curl is a big goal brother

Go hard or go home right?

But no in seriousness my strict curl target for the comp is 160

160 freedom units / 2.2 = 72.7 kg. Nothing too crazy. What’s the limiting factor for strict curls anyways?

How far off 700 are you?

I mean its an easy weight free standing, but so far I’ve only managed 67.5kg under strict curl conditions.

Shoulders against the wall
Ass against the wall
Neither is allowed to move off the wall on the ascent or descent.
Feet no more than 30cm from the wall, and cant move
Arms start straight

@dagill2 in my May comp I hit 675 ish (307.5kg) I haven’t attempted a PB since, though. Going heavy again for the next 10 weeks to see what happens.

Limiting factor is, unsurprisingly, bicep strength lol. Its a pretty short range of motion and there isnt much time to build any momentum before you get to the mechancially weak point of the lift. Its weird, you go from a rep feeling solid to impossible over the space of 1kg. 67.5, felt like I had more in the tank. 70? nothing.

Probably a hard sticking point like Overhead Press. Sticks so hard can’t grind through

Front Raises for assistance to get more momentum?

Also, I’ve never heard of a deadlift and curl comp, is that a thing?
