  • HOW MUCH IS YOUR WEIGHT AND BICEP SIZE??

  • Im stronger

  • @a420guitarsmoker, Nice.... established that you are a douche in a mere two words. Not bad sir.... not bad...

  • @SaiyanLink88

    yea its fuckin awesome, but nowhere in my previous comment is there an inclination towards my self being a douche though. I dont clean vagina, but I do fuck clean vagina. you should get your weight up girlie man, you can do it!

  • @a420guitarsmoker, Thanks for strengthening my point monkey.

  • @SaiyanLink88

    but Im not a monkey, you dumb ass

  • @a420guitarsmoker, Sure you are monkey. You just cursed at me. Like a monkey.

  • good enough!

  • He reminds me of bolo from bloodsport

  • biceps are impressive but DAYUMMMM nice triceps!

  • I would like to know if this man use steroids. Thanks!!

  • @soares6552 The answer is no. However, instead of taking my word on it, I have posed dozeds of videos where I am taking a drug test, showcase passed durg test forms and even pictures of me as young as 14. As they say, actions speak louder than words and I will let my videos speak on my behalf. Take care

  • @roughneckasian what does cheat curls mean. i do the same exact thing, but myt weights are 85. 10 reps of 15

  • @roughneckasian Don't lie. Of course no one would admit they use steroids, but we all know what asian genetics are like.. so you definately have used steroids before. But still steroids dont make you shit without proper weight lifting and eexcercise. so its okay

  • @soares6552 streangth can come naturally strangely enough but size seems to be needing steroids... if you think he cant lift that naturally then your wrong.. well size is hard to judge by sometimes because some are hard gainers other are rapid gainers more or less.. in my opinion streanght is relative to genetics.. but its still amazng how strong people can be from nature side but still no one is genetically freaky big so its a interesting paradoxal thing.. i have seen incredible strong people

  • @TheRogueMonk this is of coruse my opinion

  • @soares6552 yes he does. Its very easy to identify steroid users..Steroids user arms tends to expande widely.

  • @HenGlinz you are the typical who says "i can lift that too in a proper form..." bla bla bla bla bla and don't have any video uploaded... go home gym rat!!!

  • hi..xactly i use 15 kg of weights for my curl each side.. btw can anyone tell me by doing curls ive got hard spots on my palms..one of my friend told me to use gloves otherwise those might change into warts :((( im afraid if that happens my gym will b simply Raped

  • i didnt want to comment this but your form kinda sucks. try to keep your body and back from moving at all.

  • good stuff

  • it's all good man,he knows what he's doing,he just finish breaking it down and he still gets dumb ass remarks amazing ........good luck yo!!!

  • your bending your back alot, isnt that bad for your back.

  • @TheZoelzer2

    if you're experienced then it's fine. though it isn't recommended. the most common mistake is that people cheat on their very first set, and have biceps the size of my chihuaha.

  • Don't curl in the squat rack.

  • That's insane. Your triceps are amazing.

  • 3 years ago I was balancing or cheating like you and I got my back injured , not a wise thing to do .

  • you need to get your arms and your delts into proportion because your delts are comparatively smaller than the arms which makes your arms look a little wierd.

    but those were some nice reps.

    Good Job.

  • Comment removed

  • Can't wait to look like you am 203lb. 5'8' but need to get cut up like you keep it up

  • Dam boi, not the best form but thats still alot of weight, props!

  • Bill Kazmaier could cheat curl 315 @15 reps. sorry mr. Tuan Tran but the man who wrote the record books is just the best.

  • not only you are a strong dude, you are an asian, so it is awesome lol

  • chest up, lats flexed, back sraight. that is the proper form.with those sized arms,you should be doing 10 very strict curls.

  • Who cares if hes weak for his size man? Seriously..About 10% of all lifters only lift in order to be able to shift more and more weight, usually in a profession like Powerlifting, and the other 90% do it for aesthetics, if your big and look good, whats the problem?

  • are cheat curls even worth it? i do strict barbell and it works great should i even consider cheats?

  • @DphTim when you hit failure on the contraction, that does not mean your muscles are done. you have 20 to 30% more strength in the eccentric (negavtive) part of the movement. In this case, the lowering of the curl is the eccentric part of a contraction. By getting the weight up with a cheat curl, you can work on lowering it with control till you cannot ever control the weight on the negative. Whey you cannot even control the eccentric part of a muscle contraction, then that is true failure

  • @roughneckasian good point ... never thought of it that way ...

  • This is how I'm gonna look with alittle more weight...You look good bro, How old are you? We train very similar, If you want to I can show you my page and you can tell me what you think

  • the form on those curls is still better than 99% of people at the gym lol

  • Too Everyone out watching Tuan's video's. I have hired him for a nutrition program and must say he really knows his stuff. He is very professional, get's to the point and responds quickly. He is the real deal and the amount of knowledge he has is unbelievable.

  • weak for his size

  • @HenGlinz 556 raw deadlift, 534 raw squat, usapl texas state record, 402 bench, another usapl texas state record, 225 lbs for 26 reps bench press (NFL combine test). All this around 190 to 194 lbs. So I get those are weak lifts for my size too? Also, I am a natural/raw lifter. But then again, you must be much stonger since you are calling me out.

  • @roughneckasian of course his stronger sitting front of the computer mastubating then eating mc donalds making him stronger the you

  • @roughneckasian no but why do you rage? so your telling me a guy with a 400 bench has to cheat curl 135 is a proportionate lift? i can curl 135 semi strict but my bench is no where near 400

  • @HenGlinz simple. I am not one of those arm guys in the gym that does bicep curls every workout like you maybe doing. I like to train like an athlete and train my legs 2 to 3 times a week. Also, considering I do powerlifting meets, they test the bench press, the squat and the deadlift, henceforth why my bench is so high. Hope that answers your question. Also, you should lay off training your biceps so much or you will end up like those guys who have bigger arms then legs.

  • @roughneckasian 556 raw dead???!!!!!! holy $#!T...and yea i hear you on the bicep thing. Deads are in my mind the greatest measure of overall strength.

  • @roughneckasian 402 bench O__O

  • @roughneckasian tuan, i support you all the way, ive been watchin all your vids and u know what the hell your doing, that guys just very ignorant and stupid, keep it up man, your doing fantastic.

  • @roughneckasian Yo, my brother, you are...A BEAST! Your stats on deadlift and squats are sick! I would love to achieve a 500 deadlift, 400 pounds squatsat 195 pounds. Any advice my man

    Much love ROb

  • @HenGlinz of course his stronger sitting front of the computer mastubating then eating mc donalds making him stronger the you

  • @HenGlinz rofl got owned

  • @HenGlinz Thats because hes natural

  • this is actually the only exercise that I don't use really good form I just find that doing some swinging works best for me in this exercise

  • Tried this last wk. I could only complete 4 without cheating.

  • the point is not to cheat bu t to workout.If you are cheating your might injure your muscles..

  • Hey Andy, not saying your lying,but would love for you to post a video of you doing that! I bench 430 so I know how much weight that really is!

  • Great job! I've also been doing barbell curls with 135. Goal is 4x10. So far it's been ,10,9,8,6....got to get the other reps up! Again...great job!

  • your arm look nice their not gross big but their cut and big

  • I can bench 430lbs RAW and NATURAL at 13.

  • @AndyHarglesis you weigh 330 im guessing

  • @pushpush99 No, 203lbs. :P

  • i can bearly bench that....

  • Lol I hear Alicia Keys

  • Looking good with the cheat curls. (Lots of generic and fu-fu advice on why you shouldn't do cheat curls, but mostly from people who don't understand adaptation and growth.) Keep at it!

  • Nice arms. NO HOMO!

  • your form is hilarious

  • Even though you cheated, you didn't cheat much. You had your arms in close too.

  • Is there any major difference between doing biceps curls with a barbell, like Tuan here, or using an EZ-bar?

    I'm mostly using EZ-bars due to the fact that when using barbells I feel uncomfort in my wrists. Any thoughts on this, both things? :p

  • @ensampojken lol i have the same issue to but i still get a little pain on my wrist with the ez bars just not as much as the straight barbell.

  • @ensampojken yes, it is proven the majority can achieve more reps on a given weight on a straight barbell. everyone is different though. it is best you try rotate between the 2.

    try drop curls in general for short period of time, or go light. and get wrist straps which should help slightly.

  • if you can't handle the weight without having to swing your body then it's too much weight for you and you're just wasting your workout time. lower your weight to something you can handle

  • Guys i know arnold loved cheat curls and they're good to do but can someone tell me why ??

  • @customphoenixwings You will give more effort with cheat curls and ofc your biceps will respond better. Its ok to do a few sets at the end of ur workout.

  • in my opinion you should do 100 because it looked as if you were swinging your body which is horrible.. dont swing and keep them to your side with a straight back... the right way the more results

  • @streetboxing7493 CHEAT curl. You're supposed to swing. I personally don't like cheat curls at all though. I don't understand why you can't just do normal bicep curls with a lower weight.

  • @TheSmileyFacedPizza Cheat curls allows great overload, particularly during the eccentric phase.

  • @buzzkilling Bicep curls allow the same amount of overload with less weight. The difference is the fact that your back muscles is lifting a little bit more for you, so you look more impressive when you lift.

  • @TheSmileyFacedPizza There are many reasons for cheat curls. While strict curls load the biceps similarly, cheat curls overloads the biceps on the concentric portion of the lift, something strict curls cannot. Also, the increased involvement of other muscles (legs, back, trunk, etc.) stimulates a greater hormonal response that may add to greater hypertrophic or strength response. It's not as simple as the generic, quazi-personal trainers would have you think.

  • @buzzkilling or you could just not try to create a compound out of an isolation movement and do an actual compound that doesn't pose incredibly high risk of injury. Not to mention that video's like this make your average trainer try them when only those with an elite skill level should even be bothering with.

  • @buzzkilling lets not not try to create a compound out of an isolation movement, do an actual compound that doesn't pose incredibly high risk of injury. I also just read that apparently a normal curl doesn't overload the bicep on the concentric portion of the lift??? basically i take everything i just said back you shouldn't even be posting. I don't think you understand what a concentric part of a movement is.. and if a normal curl didn't isolate and overload the bicep bracihii whats the point

  • @TheTwilik If you read with logic, then you'd realize that I made an obvious typo and had meant "eccentric." There's no exercise rule stating that a barbell biceps curl must remain isolative and can't form an advanced compound movement. The existence of *uninformed* novice lifters does not make this video illegitimate, otherwise it would make videos of the Snatch, The Clean and Jerk, or even the Back Squat and Deadlift illegitimate. Your exercise statement is immature.

  • @buzzkilling Oh i read with logic but getting the two around the wrong way is fairly fail... not to mention it doesn't matter what you put because you are still completly incorrect in both area's, wether or not this is done as a cheat curl or forced reps or normal curl the eccentric phase is still exactly the same. So why would doing a different movement on the concentric phase change the isolation point in the eccentric phase? No matter what your doing its bicep isolation.

  • This exercise is nothing but a movement to get you to an advanced overload technique---- a negative..

    Also in regards to there bieng no exercise rule stating you cant form a compound movement out of something like this, you are correct there is not but when you look at where you are applying pressure there is no reason to do so. Squats and deadlifts follow the bodys natural curvature without creating an extreme enviroment outside of load.

  • Doing a bicep curl and trying to call it a compound by adding swinging and utter retardation does nothing but create a extreme lumbosis with load. Good luck with your future bad posture and injury goals. obviously this isn't something your generic quazi-personal trainers would have you think...

  • 2 words : beautiful body !!

  • Very good cheat curl form. And unlike most, isn't afraid to actually work hard, which is the idea if you want to maximize potential.

  • Great! Very Strong curls. Also very modest about them. Good Job Tuan!

  • hey do you use any enhancments or are you natural?

  • Horrendous. I'm 13, all-natural, not even protein shakes and I can swing curl 195lbsX3. XD

  • @AndyHarglesis

    ...leave pussy

  • @zakzakdak Now I can swing curl 210lbs for one. :P

    Learn who I am. :D

  • @zakzakdak I don't need to. :D

  • @AndyHarglesis you're a skinny bitch....sick lip ring bra

  • Wow man you strong

    I berly can do 25lb on each side

  • pretty good form

  • no offense bro but 135?? Im 160 and can do 135 10 times on a cheat set... And im no where near as ripped as this guy.. I like it as a muscle builder though.. to build you have to shred the muscle to rebuild it bigger and better =)

  • I really enjoy watching your videos. I can see you know what your talking about so it's productive for me to watch how you perform your exercises. I also like that you don't act like the typical pompas gym rat giving out tutorials like Scott Herman. Keep up the good work!

  • When yo are a seasoned trainer with good technique you an cheat a little but you shouldn't do it regularly.

    Incidently Tuan, you should invest in a wireless wearable mic. You have great tutorials but the audio lacks. Thanks for the vids :)

  • ur back will break

  • ur backkkkkk dude

  • amazing triceps so full!

  • your the most ripped up asian i've ever seen

  • yout gonna hurt ur back

  • this shit is funny cuz his short, big arms. nd lifting big barbells

  • men im doing last set with 128 lbs and im only 16 years old...

  • @kamil151 bull shit 

  • @kamil151 Sexism.

  • if you truly are natural like you say, that is very impressive. good job on your routine and diet. you are a beast.

  • Strong!

  • you have to keep your back straight 

  • Great cheats! You're right at the optimum point there. Solid and true on the first few reps and building more cheat into the final reps to maintain 100% output and load capacity. Nothing beats cheater curls.

    I did not hear the audio, so pardon me if you mentioned this, but I advise making sure one keeps a symmetric posture. Legs at shoulder width or less and NOT staggered front to back. It causes high compression regions. A symmetric lateral distribution of force will help prevent back injury.

  • HEY TUAN can i 15 year old start taking creatine? cuz football season just ended and i was thinkin if dat wiill get me anymore results. finished wit 9 sacks and 45 tackles as a sophmore. weight 190 , 5'7 and was thinking if it will add me some bulk. didnt get da most sacks on my county but is hoping to do it nxt year.

  • Very impressive. You didn't really cheat too bad either. I've seen dudes cheat much more and call them good form. Nice work. Very humble.

  • LOL

  • keep it up bro love the vid...check out my transformation let me kno what u think

  • i like the fact you have phases, keep it up. how ever your doing it, its getting the resaults

  • Hey they wern't to bad to be honest, you look around 190/200lb anyway, so curling a weight that heavy is going to naturally make you arch your back an shoulders more. If you done some of the reps a little slower you would build major muscle quickly.

    Good work! Keep it up!

  • Ok I have a question. Maybe roughneckasian can help me out with this. This dude at the gym does these crazy swinging cheat curls. He has an okay build and in fear of not knowing what a proper cheat curl was, I didn't ask him why he swings so much. He bends down with the barbell resting on his knees (standing postition), does a very slight swing with his knees, barbell goes down, then instantanously does a full swing with his whole body and achieves the curl. Is this a powerlifting technique?

  • @codyj702 A cheat curl to me is using some momentum to get the weight up, but you have to have full control on the neg. Once you cannot control the neg. any longer, then you should stop just like I did on my last rep. Also, you only use cheat curls if you can not get a spot from anyone. I perfer forced reps any day over cheat curls. I really hate having to use them. Hope this helps and remember, only use cheat curls as long as you can control the neg.

  • @codyj702

    You meant he should bend his elbows at 90 degrees, more than 90 degrees is the spot where you can rest ... that makes more sense

  • @Athlon2010 I'm not saying he "should" do anything....I'm saying exactly what I saw.

  • @codyj702 The dude in the video is doing cheat curls PROPERLY. Most DON'T, and it's easy to swing the weight too much = useless. The right way is to swing the weight just enough to get it moving while still allowing the muscles to work, not to swing it wildly which doesn't work anything. This guy has good arms; Schwarzenegger always said it was cheat curls that were most responsible for size.

  • Hey Tuan, fuck the haters, those were amazing "cheat" curls, some people curl with that form and call it proper form. Good going.

  • drug free competetion don't tell that you never used steroids?!?!?

  • dam son!  nice video

  • Hey tuan, in your opinion what is the best bicep exercise ?

  • To what extent would you say this exercise is a compound exercise?

  • I like most this guy's vids, but I never saw the use of a 'cheat curl' seems to me like I use too much forearm and not enough bicep in using form like that.

  • I'm surprised to see a lifter as mellow as you and stay chill with all the shit you get on these comments. The pushup one surprised me that you had that much endurance. Gj.

  • @kmal2t thanks for the support. Over time I have found that when repsonding to the neg. people is just a waste of time. they have already made up there minds and just want to bash me. Whether it be that my small succuses makes them reflect on their failures or that they are just angery at the world and want to bring others down they level, I just igonore them on concentrate on those who support me and believe that it is possible to get great results without the use of drugs. Take care

  • @roughneckasian Those are some of the truest words I have ever read. Much respect to you.

  • @roughneckasian

    Way to go man !!!

    Support , espetially for drug-free sportsmanship !!

    Cheers from Serbia (europe)..

  • gett off the steroids and growth hormone.

  • gett off the steroids and growth hormone. Its because of fucks like you that kids get on this shit. fucking idiot,

  • You're a tank, keep it up dude

  • Do you find it easier to start cheating at the beginning of the curls or do you sometimes do the strict form then start cheating when you cant get any more

  • why is it ok to bend ur back, i thought it was really bad

  • @DMxNemesis ~ its called "cheat curl", for advanced lifters only.

  • @ebutuoy9000 still looks painful lol

  • Hi Mate,

    You have got a superb genetic, and on top of that know how to work out properly and eat good stuff in the right time!!! That's the most important thing...people think that steroids is the key to get big, but the most important thing is to eat properly, sleep, work out and take suplements.....

    Keep up the good work

    Cheers mate,

    Leandro from Brazil

  • @LeandroLondon1

    In my experience (as a natural builder with good genetics) those who are quickest to accuse one of using steroids or other drugs are the ones who are least familiar with building or weight lifting at all. It's a cop-out. In effect, it's a way of saying I'm not big, I don't have the discipline to pursue it, and so there's no way you got there by working hard you must have cheated. Insecurity manifested as accusation.

  • Hello I wonder if this kind of training provides better results in strength than the "proper one", the one without any kind of movement towards, backwards or so. I have noticed that a lot of big and strong guys use cheat technique quite often. I am not interested in getting big one bit so my only goal to get stronger and currently I am trying to do the best form I can in this exercise. Should I use cheating too in order to get stronger?

    I can do 110*6 clean+2-3 cheated.

  • Hey man, for your stature and size, 135 x 10 cheat curls isn't half bad! They have to be 16 1/2 when flexed, how tall are you and how old? I'm 18, stand 6'2 and weigh 245 pounds, with 18 5/8" arms when flexed, and I can curl 135 x 7 with strict form, I'm not even joking or trying to make you feel bad. Also, How many reps can you cheat curl 135 now man?

  • why you have small shoulders ? work on shoulders they was small respect to biceps ands triceps

  • how big your arms are tuan ??

  • @electrovampir0 I think 15.5 or 15.75 inches unflexed. not sure when flexed

  • @roughneckasian

    no way ur arms look way bigger then 15.5

  • @roughneckasian ohhh... taun that's def more than 15.75 inches. my arms are pretty small and they measure 13inches around

  • @roughneckasian they look like 18" flexed.

  • @roughneckasian wow amazing form with that much weight...what is your PR when it comes to barbell curls

  • UR triceps looks to big compared to ur shoulders

  • @moali90 yeah, all the years of bench pressing has done that.  but it is getting better.

  • @roughneckasian I know what you mean, my shoulders/arms look big in relation to my chest.. go figure they get a good workout on shoulder day, back day, n chest day LOL

  • Three Things to Comment On:

    1. Nothing like working out to some Beyonce.

    2. You're a badass and I got respect for everything you do.

    3. Your last name is sick...being that it's also mine.

  • I can do with 155lbs - 8 reps and my biceps is smaller than yours :D

  • hey is the fitness program that you said you can do for me is it free?

    im 16 yrs old and i look big i have muscle but i want to get ripped for the summer my only problem is my abs and my lower chest they dnt look how i want them to be,, cab you help plzz?

  • @rbt809 my online training programs range from $35 to $60 per month. If you really need help, then sign up anythime. If you cannot afford it, then do the best you can and educate yourself has much as possible. But knowledge is not enough, you must apply it whether you get it from my online program or from else where

  • @roughneckasian thats to much money i rather get a bunch of books and learn it myself

  • @roughneckasian Through researching and gaining knowledge on weight lifting you gain the knowledge to apply the techniques....Online programs are not necessary at all and I would actually not recommend them. How can somebody help you if they have no met you before? Sure pictures, but do pictures actually portray reality.

  • @rbt809 if you wanna get ripped, DIET DIET DIET and cardio

  • i love cheat curls.. i do 5 sets of 8 reps. i cheat going up and 3 seconds down.. pumps my biceps like a bitch.. :)

  • this 'cheating' doesnt mean he isnt training his arms..actually he is training his arms more heavily. Muscles dont scape physics laws..deppending on the angle in which you are making an effort, the same muscle will perform different strenght. When doing this, you 'help' your arm at the first partof motion in which ur muscle cant perform at full potential, meaning at the other degrees, you will be putting more stress on the muscle coz u r lifting more weight.

  • Hope this helps you, my english sucks...

  • perfect/strict form only works to some point. Why do you think many professional bodybuilders do many exercises with alot of cheating here and there? BECAUSE IT WORKS!

  • how many times a month should one train with heavy cheat exercises?

  • Dude take 20lbs off it and dont harm your back!

  • @RealestMcKoy

    Dude, Tuan knows what he's doing "lol". Besides, he's got one STRONGASS back. Check his squats, deadlifts etc. without belt. Lotta power in a "lighter than 200lbs" package! Cheat exersizes don't have to cause injury if you have the experience, if you know what you're doing and why. Incidental cheating exercises can help shock the body, which sometimes is needed to get further.

  • @SinisterSkip

    I know my friend....but it looks really uncontrolled......He istn really trainnig biceps...

  • @RealestMcKoy No, I am training the arm (Biceps brachii, Brachialis, Brachioradialis, Pronator teres). u can see how my arm looks. I am just sharing how "I" train. Will it work for u, I do not know. But I am happy with my arm development, so in the end, it works for me. Im sure you have your way, but ask yourself, r u happy with how your developement because in the end, there r many different exercises to train the arm. Ask yourself, r u picking the training method that works best for u?

  • @roughneckasian

    No Critic, i just wondering.....everybody should do whats best to him....So Move on! U did good work! Your Arms look really good!

  • Hi....
