LeRoy Walker demolished the American strict curl record.

It appears that there’s a new American strict curl king. LeRoy Walker just crushed the American strict curl record with an impressive 226lbs/102.5kg lift.

The strict curl has become extremely popular over the past year. Many strength athletes have been pushing themselves to conquer the lift and cement themselves in history. From Larry Wheels to Arnold Schwarzenegger, everyone has been trying their hand at the strict curl.

LeRoy Walker is another strength athlete looking to take his strict curl game to new heights. The powerlifter is aiming for the world record, but before that decided to start at a lower weight. Walker just recently took on the American strict curl record. He smashed it with a 226lbs/102.5kg lift. You can see him conquering the feat below.

Smashing The American Record

????????226LBS/102.5KG ????????American record. Previously it was posted about the failure. This was true. In this particular federation 212 was the attempt for the national record. I missed it. Then came redemption. I made it. Then I took 226 fo a ride. Usually I like a traditional grip. A week ago however I had a really bad tendon strain and caused me to have to use a variety of grips. Fortunately I made an in meet adjustment to a close grip that put less stress on the forearm. It paid off. Most of my heavy overload training I did both traditional and wide. The rules state that you can use EITHER.

I’ll do a post with the full version tomorrow night. This is just a glimpse of the finish that set the tone for bigger badder things to come. Stay tuned for the next meet!!! ILL BE READY FOR SEPTEMBER.

Do you think LeRoy Walker can conquer the strict curl world record?
