One handed barbell curls..wtf?

[skaz915]

I saw a guy at the gym today doing one handed barbell curls. just the 45lb bar no added weight. Do you guys actually do these, it seems as if it would be unnecessarily hard on your wrists. He does not have any injuries that would prevent him from doing two handed curls.

Can't say I've ever seen that....but if I even tried that I figure it would kill my wrist just trying to balance the weight let alone lift it for reps.

there's alot of balance involved and requires some wrist strength. about 12 years ago, i had 100+ pounds on the bar, and on a bet, was able to do a one handed military press. Pretty damn tough. the first half is more of a curl to get it shoulder height, and then from there it becomes a press.
