Strict Curl Events

The strict curl is the ultimate test of bicep strength and precise technique. This iconic lift, performed with a barbell or EZ-bar, demands that your head, back, and glutes remain firmly against a wall throughout the movement, eliminating the use of momentum. Any deviation—such as lifting your head, back, or glutes off the wall—results in disqualification, making this event a true measure of discipline and power.

At Grinder Gym, we take pride in hosting strict curl events that adhere to the highest standards. By following the International Strict Curl Association Rules, we ensure fairness, consistency, and credibility for all athletes. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or trying strict curls for the first time, our events provide the perfect platform to challenge yourself and demonstrate your strength.
