After 2 months of elbow rehab, I'm finally allowed to touch a barbell again tomorrow. It's going to be interesting. Have no clue what I can lift.

In my case, I used a small Latino gentleman. It was more about working on the forearm, tricep etc that attached to it and were causing it to tingle.

I am and there are. Unfortunately though I've more than myself to consider so I am forced into YMCA membership. They'll mind the chisler for up to 2 hours while myself and the missus work out.

I am considering joining this place once the elbow issue is defiantly behind me:

It's about 20 minutes away, but I reckon a weekly visit could be good.

What’s with the Curl?
The curl was actually included in the first powerlifting competitions in the 1960’s but it was dropped after a few years, likely due to the time a full powerlifting meet takes as it is. The curl has been reintroduced lately in several federations to test the strength of the arms. These standards apply to a strict curl (up against the wall) using an EZ bar. For those that like this lift, it is meant as a guide, for those that don’t like this lift, ignore it. The curl is not added to a lifter’s total, it is a stand alone event.

Why don’t the Elite numbers on Curls increase after the 242 weight class?
So far there has not been a noticeable increase in curl strength in the heavier weight classes so the standards reflect that.

How did you come up with the curl numbers?
Because less people compete in the curl the standards are higher. The elite number would generally give a lifter the first or second ranking for the curl in that weight class that year for that federation. As more people compete in the curl those numbers might rise. The curl numbers can be revised in 3-5 years if necessary as well.

wtf

is that the decades of training one...i think cause he doesnt have the PR feel about him like others like Jim Wendler, Dave Tate, Rip foot and that Hedley fella from the bootcamp crap.
Clint just seems to be an dude who likes to lift stuff a lot...kinda like L but with less swearing at old people.

OHP : BW
BP : BW * 1.5
SQ : BW * 2
DL : BW * 2.5

Think those are the standard ones people throw about
