Hi Cathe and Everyone,
I hope all of you are have a terrific Friday so far!
My question for you today concerns the barbell bicep curl.
Each time I lift with the bar, I fizz out way before the end of the set. This happens no matter which workout I am doing. The part that is strange to me is that with dumbbells I can go pretty heavy, 12-15 lbs. each hand. But...the bar is a different story. Yesterday on the bar curls, I could only manage about 15 lbs total, this was a good day for me. Shouldn't the bar curls be easier? I thought that with both hands working at the same time, on the same weight it would be easier to lift it. Shouldn't I be able to lift close to the same weight on the bar as with the combined dumbell weight?
I would be greatful for any reply about this. I am stumped.
Thanks in advance.
Happy Friday!
Jamie
