Too old
Not enough.

exactly 16"
21yrs old
on heavy weight low rep days 4 sets of 5 reps with 40lb dumbells.

Anything more with sets, reps, or poundage on this exercise and my form gets sloppy.

Good thread and interesting info will be derived but strength does not correlate that well with muscle size.

Who prefers barbell curling over db curls? I still can't decide which I like more, but the past few months I've been going with the barbell curls and they are feeling real good. I usually end with about 115lbs (7-8 reps) with very good form (I'm strict about it). Not sure on db's since its been quite some time and haven't measured the arms in a long time but last checked was 16" and they've grown nicely since then. So I'll just say 16+"

My arems are a pathetic 15 1/2" I curl 120lbs for 8-10 on the barbell. I only do dumbells on light days and the are normally 35-40

There is nothing pathetic about your arms just because they are smaller than some peoples, they are also bigger than some peoples, and we all have to start somewhere
