Deadlifts were often in the 6-8 rep range, everything else the famous 8-12 range.

Sorry if I offend you
Its just my point of view

Well the weights secondary to form anyway. I see dudes trying to curl 25s and swinging around like a monkey

I'd say your deadlifts are lacking quite a bit even for a 10 rep range.

An example, one of my guys this weekend at 88kg raw and natural hit

170kg squat
201kg deadlift
130kg bench

Another one of my guys at 91kg raw and natural

170kg squat
160kg bench
260kg deadlift

These guys are "average" guys with solid training.

Oh, and as for "what ya curl?" - Anyone asking that question has got their priorities completely screwed?!

hahaha sorry RVP

Also, as well as being raw and natural - those guys only use creatine and BCAA/Leucine. No preworkout stuff and none of the other crap supplements out there. They just eat well.
