What? I am not even talking about that. I was saying maybe because it is a good way to end a biceps excercise by implenting some direct work to the forearms too by doing hammer curls and because hammer curls are great biceps excercise. Other than that you can not demand what and what not people should be able to do in weight for each excercise. There is not an official number for which excercises you should be able to do more weight with than others. Especially not when we talk isolation of smaller muscle groups. You might have an extremely weak forearm which will hinder the weight in hammer curls, but on the other hand you might have the strongest biceps hence you would curl more.

Curls are a waste of your time as a beginner, stick to compound movements.

If your starting out I'd do Rippetoes Starting Strength Guide.

a guy posted a thread about some dude who started doing the reppetoes guide and how much muscle weight he gained in only 4 months, the results are impressive to say the least

I don't wanna dedicate myself to bodybuilding, but people say I have really good genes for it, all I want is just tone up my body and seems like that guide seems to be the right one

Yea I've done rippetoes, i'd suggest it for anyone. I too have great genes, packed on tons of mass in only 4 months, people thought i was on the juice/test booster.

I'm doing it right now with some variants(thanks to you haha). I am finally starting to be more modivated and pushing myself, I started (with no biceps at all, though i've always been able to bench quite a bit) at 40 pounds barbell curling and now i'm at 60, in only a month.

It'd help a lot to actually read Starting Strength, go buy the book. Not doing the workout correctly can be detrimental.
