Tim,
Here's an update since you contacted me the other day.
Today, using my thickbar (1.75" diameter) I got six reps with 200 pounds in the wrist curl, then did two sets of 8 with 160.
I was not planning on wrist curls until tomorrow but I had a few minutes before I could gain access to the treadmill, so did the wrist curls today instead.
My goal is to get a set of 6 with 225 on the thickbar, which, to me at least is more difficult than the standard Olympic bar.

My gym has a thickbar, not sure of the diameter though. I do all my exercises with this if possible. I also agree that it makes the exercise a bit more difficult. I've never been one to do wrist curls though.....I prefer farmers walks, or just holding DB's instead.  |

Awesome weight Joe......congrats!! :Rocker Dude:
I sure would like to see you go beyond your record of 240 with the thick bar,that would be quite an accomplisment.
Anyway,looks like you are well on your way back to 225 at a good clip.
In contrast,I did a few sets of 12 today with 90 pounds!! ;D

That's a lot of weight! Mr. Roark I wonder if you could tell me who came in fifth place in the Mr. Hoboken contest in 1962?
Only kidding!

oldtimer1,
The 1962 Mr. Hoboken contest was won by Tim Wescott.
Judges included Amy Wescott, Frank Wescott, Jake Wescott, Betty Wescott, with State Trooper Wes Wescott overseeing the counting of the votes.
