In the Instagram story, Chris is doing ten reps of Zottman curls. As seen from the clip, he was probably lifting around 50 pounds on each arm, 100 pounds for both. Zottman curl is a strenuous exercise and trains the biceps and forearm together. It is a great overall exercise for the arm and helps develop grip power. The average male lifter does a lift of 45 pounds.

As per the website, Strengthlevel.com, elite lifters do up to 120 pounds. That’s impressive from Chris, who is no longer in the NFL anymore. He also shared a clip of him doing 30 reps of rope curl.

Like always, the other stories shared by him included his fun time with Gronk bros. Of course, nobody knows the weight of rope curls. In the other stories shared by him, fans see him enjoying his time with his sons, fishing, and decorating his new house. Chris is currently occupied with his venture Ice Shaker.
