    135x6-7 reps a few months ago. Started doing lighter weight for reps to try and cut, plus the heavy curls were putting a strain on the left elbow.

    What do you mean 5 days a week? I thought you had to give a day or rest after strength training, not doing it daily.

    Curious because I do it every 2 days because of that.

    I'd just like to know if anyone has actually ever SEEN anyone curling in the squat rack?


    In fact, just last week I saw someone curling in the squat rack and it is the only squat rack we have in the gym. He had 10lbs on each side of the bar and apparently needed the squat rack for that. Didn't bother me at all, but I did lol because I still find it funny.

    In the squat rack? :bigsmile:

    Never curled in the SR...never even seen anyone do it, honestly, but maybe it's fun? If I felt like it, I'd do it and not give a rat's *kitten* whether or not you or Acg67 or Sidesteel or anyone else thought it was cool. In fact, I'd probably really enjoy the fact that it annoys you so much. =D I go to the gym to WORK, not to gain the approval of boys. I already have the approval of the only one I care about.

    But thanks for asking!! It was a very original and thought-provoking question. Pat yourself on the back. :)

    Annoys me? lol Not at all! And thanks for calling me a boy. It's been years since I've been called that. Just spreading the love!!

    haha--me too, spreading the love far and wide!! =D And honestly, I prefer to use the squat rack for the really important things, like adjusting my lipstick and filing my nails... :wink:

    Well of course! Especially if it's got that nice full length mirror right behind it. :laugh:

    Well, I feel pretty minuscule compared to the big guys here, but I'm at 31 lbs x 10 reps.. I ran out of weights to put on my curl bar, I curl at home, the guys in my gym make me uncomfortable....

    I always see people post there 1RM for Squats, Dead lifts, and Bench press. But what is everyone curling with a straight bar? I don't want to know a 1RM I mean what are you curling for at least 6 reps???? ( without swinging your back and looking like a a**hole!)

    its pretty rare that i see anyone doing curls other then with the impropper form you mention above.

    the most i was doing in the past was 70 plus the ez curl bar. was doing 40 lbs dumbell burls at one point too.

    My gym only has one squat rack, and you better believe this girl asks them to move. I find it ridiculous...I see it almost EVERY time I am there. Maybe you are sick of hearing it, but I am just as sick of it happening when I have things that need to get done.

    Just today seen some one doing power cleans in the squat rack ;-) and some *kitten* hole standing above a bench curling the bench press bar.. I hate the days I can't get to the gym 5 am because apparently this is the *kitten* that goes on later on in the day.

    Yep - I have seen it a lot. I don't care unless I want to use the squat rack to actually...well, squat!

    I also saw someone benching in it the other day and then they started doing BB hip thrusts in it....no idea why.

    In my prime I was doing 115lbs for 6 reps, but as I've aged, I'm currently at 95lbs. My arms still rock.

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Well, in their defense, BB hip thrusts would be just as funny OUT of the squat rack as I'm sure they were IN it.... OK, fair enough, you guys must live somewhere where that's some kind of trend. Around here, people tend to just use the squat rack for squatting. <shrugs shoulders>
