I have 15lb weights that I keep in my car for exercise on the go(and at work bc I have a lot of free time when I’m not reading) and I got 35 lb DBs that I rarely use. Recently I’ve gotten strong enough to start curling the 35s and I feel so hyped that I can do it with proper form, what do you use for DB curls? Do you like bicep curls or do you have a different go-to quick exercise you do on the go? because I wanna try to work something other than biceps at work too

    Man, there’s some real beasts here. My max is 12.5Kg (8 reps). The strongest guys at my gym do 15Kg, and those are very rare. The heaviest I’ve ever seen was a guy curling 17.5Kg. Sadly I’ve never seen a woman curl more than 5Kg.

      Well in my experience women at my gym are very good at certain exercises that I could never do like the Hip Thrust exercises, I can barely do a plate on each side. Also that’s just what I see at my gym, there are plenty of women that could outbench/squat/curl/outrun me anyday of the week, gender isn’t the qualifier for exercise luckily, it would be a sad world if I was stronger than every woman just because I was born a certain way. Just know that if you put effort towards something as certain as exercise, you will see results for sure. It’s a healthy mix of patience and perseverance, and a dash of creatine if you so choose

        What I meant is that I would like to see more strong women at the gym, because I like strong women.
