Curls and arm bars

hey everyone downs curls for fighters now I tend to lean to a wrestling style and I olympic and power lift but I think heavy straight bar curls have to make your grip forarms and well every mucle you use to get out of a arm bar stronger Im open to other oppinions. hell mabee I just like having big guns to flex after I win a fight

Like Frank Mir said before his fight with Brock Lesnar!"It's my Hips vs. His Biceps!" I think that was Mir...

In one of those fight science type shows it had Rickson Gracie applying an armbar on one of those electronic dummies. He applied 600 pounds of force to the elbow flexor. I dont know what the world record is for an arm curl but I don't think it is that much. Conclusion, you wont be able to curl your way out of an armbar.
