Just curious, for those of you who can perform OAC, how much dumb bell can your curl with one arm (as % of your bodyweight)?

That doesn't relate much. I do 1 one arm pull/chin-up (hammer grip) with my left hand from ~ 170° extension, with my right from ~120°. With the left I curl 18%BW for 8 reps *super slow*, right 24%. My left shoulder, pectoralis, latissiumus are stronger.

Thanks, that was what I've been looking for.

 

By the way, the following video inspired me for doing curl:  ^_^ (2:40)

I'm very close to a OAC and can barbell curl about 40-50kg @ 70kg with strict form (not tried dumbell). The back and biceps have to work in good synchronicity to get the most force output for the OAC.
