I don't think many actually torn their biceps during strict curl tbh, bcuz they doesnt extend their biceps at the extremity. Is not that easy to tear it, look at all the clowns that deadlifts with bent arms, having all the weight on their biceps and there arent many that tear the biceps.

Lazar Even with perfect form, the biceps muscles are small and can't keep up once they undergo huge tension or fatigue due to either curling tremendous weight or training them daily.

Got to suggest Magnus is the most impressive when taking into account the relative "cheat" involved while curling. His 140 for 4 is definitely the cleanest looking. Strongest arms ever! Would be interesting to do a grip strength comparison between him and Brian Shaw and/or other grip legends... Nudge nudge wink wink Nick 😜

Hey Nick, I'm a disabled veteran who is missing the majority of my right bicep due to severe injury. It's taken years to just be able to use my arm correctly again, but I'm wanting to try and do this challenge just to see. Due to my health issues I'm severely underweight. I'm 6' and at my heaviest I was around 195lbs, but right now I only weigh roughly 130 and just a few months ago I was down to 110 lbs because of a car crash I was in this past October. I actually compound fractured my (left) other forearm then as well. So I have two severely damage arms, but am totally in out of pure curiosity!

That first clip of Kas was filmed at Daves Gym in Northwich , Cheshire ,U.K. You could contact them to see if they have any more film footage, the gym is still there.
You have started a "strict curl" movement
Strict curl weights increments are harder per lb than any other lift. that 30-50 lb difference might as well be 100+lb in another lift.
When it comes to Swedish athletes/sportsman alot or people bring up Stegmark, Borg, Ibrahimovic, Waldner, Forsberg etc. But for me its Samuelsson all the way baby. Biggest pride we have. What a beast of a human beeing. Thanks for including him in this video.
