Huge difference in the difficulty. Either way this contest must be on IG, im not on there! Best of luck fellas! What's great about Instagram is that all you need is an email and username to join. None of those ridiculous personal questions. Plus, there's a good amount of grip vids and pics that are only seen on Instagram. If you decide to join... check out this link. It has a bunch of grip Instagram accounts you can sub to and get that steady flow of awesome grip vids/pics Edited June 15, 2016 by silverbackgrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifting a 45 lb plate by the hub is a classic feat of grip strength and I wanted to keep this challenge close to that. You can use any steel plate with a grip-able Hub, be that 25, 35, kilo plates, etc. You have almost a month to beg, borrow, steal, buy, or meet up with someone who has a good hub plate. Don't count yourself out. I expect a big lift from you, Shawn. Well, I can already tell you there is no one i know that has a hubable plate. Except a guy 3 hours away, I will look. I appreciate the confidence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always enjoyed the online challenges and I wanted to do one to maybe expose a few new people to the sport, hence Instagram. If you would like to participate by posting videos to the gripboard, I will keep a ranking for here as well. There will be a benefit for those competing on Instagram though.

I gave it a quick try after workout yesterday and thumb was too tender to do much after the abuse I gave it in the workout. Still a double 45# stacked in one hand and hubbed would be epic and never have quite pulled that off to lockout. - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My earliest attempts at 90# were usually with a pile of small plates that almost alway's slid off. Here is an example: I also tried magnets but had a lot of trouble with the bottom 45 sliding off. Could not find any videos uploaded with that but here is one from earlier attempts at 45+35: This was my most recent attempt at 90# though not with actual plate hub. This one is one I made to bolt on solid and same dimensions as the Gibsons plate hub: If I was to make another go at it I would make something low profile to bolt the plates together for sure. - Aaron Edited June 17, 2016 by acorn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KapMan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm out of the running, the plate that I was allowed to borrow would be awesome if I was stronger at shallow hubbing. The plate seems to be a deep dish, yet the slope of the flange pushes your fingers into what I would think would be a shallow hub height.Oh well. I tried atleast.
