Florian Kellersmann Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 As we have seen 3x15, 4x10, 2x25kg now, what do you think will be next? Which plate pinch feats are possible, but not done yet? 3x20kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) 3 x 35# or 3 x 15K I think only Wade Gillingham ??? Who else? Edited November 29, 2015 by climber511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 3 x 35# or 3 x 15K I think only Wade Gillingham ??? Who else? I thought brian shaw did a 3x35 with a pipe through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I believe Chad Woodall did 3x15kg with nothing through the plates. But, from 3x15kg to 3x35# I think there is quite a difference. 3x20kg seems impossible judging by the amount of people that have reached the 3x15kg level....

Alawadhi Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yes Chad did it when he was in a grip comp in Germany. It was after the comp too. Pretty sure at that time he could've done 3 35s. Brian Shaw did 2 35 with a pipe and he posted here I believe and also said I can do it without the pipe. I believe him judging his super pinch strength. I think next will be 2 30kg pinch and Juha will achieve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 What lifts those are? 3x35 with pipe and 3x35#? Can´t find those on you tube. Are those some kind of USA plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) 3x35lbs?? Is this right photo? Those looks very great! How much is total width? On this old video plates are + 80mm. Leoko 4x10kg is over 90mm. Edited November 30, 2015 by Juha Harju Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Wade pinching 3 35 pound plates with pipe- He once said that he pinched them without pipe but did not videotape it - there's no reason to not believe that - at least for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ojek7FTuE8 I believe Brian Shaw also did 3 35# plates without pin but not sure. I was videotaping Chad Woodalls lift of 3 15kg plates in 2007. Three 20kg discs are possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Savage Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I think a lot of people when talking of whats possible (humanly possible) tend to massively underestimate. You only have to look a couple decades back in strongman to see theres been a huge improvement in overall strength. Back only three decades ago 300kg+ was a respectable deadlift for a wsm competitor, now its 400kg+. The sport has grown so the strength has increased, if grip grew the same it would have the same effect so we certainly have not seen the best yet. Also people are getting bigger and stronger in general, 150 years ago the average height was 4 inches less than it is now. That is a massive increase increase for such a relatively small time frame. If we make it another a 1000 years, who knows what strength feats we will be accomplishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Goguen Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 3x35lbs?? Is this right photo? Those looks very great! How much is total width? Those plates are mine and they are 46mm wide each, so 138mm for three of them and for those of you who are not metrically minded that's about 5.4 inchs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The whole plate pinching thing depends on the specific plates being used. At some point we'll have to say what exact plates were used in order for any list etc to be meaningful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 3x20kg Eleikos could be possible to lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have 6 pairs 28kg plates. 2x28kg width is 50mm. 54mm or more wider would have been the best width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 3x20kg Eleikos could be possible to lift.That would be incredible. 1hp of 3-20k plates would without a doubt be the greatest grip feat in history.But i do have to agree... I believe it is possible in time. Especially for guys with monster 1hp. 3x20kg Eleikos width is same as 3x15kg Eleikos. 3x22mm Total 66mm.

Jedd Johnson Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have 3x20kg plates that I think could be lifted with one hand. They are extremely rough and a pair is EASY to pinch one-handed. I think i would need to specialize in the feat. A lot of times it's just a matter of how much time one has and is willing to devote to a feat.

Juha Harju Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 3x20kg Eleikos could be possible to lift. I think the same! You can use your wrist power and lift plates (66mm) with twisting your wrist inward very good around 44mm-68mm. When width is over 90mm (like 4x10kg Leoko) then importance of the wrist strength is smaller. I speak only with my own size hand 20.5cm. Big dudes with big hand´s are different story. Many years ago I noticed how Adam T. Glass used his forearm when he lifted 1 HP euro. It helped me a lot and after that my 1 HP euro results jumped over 53kg.

I still haven't figured out how to get help from that technique, unless someone can explain that I am using it. i am getting air more and more days w/ 2x25kg.

Alawadhi Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Guys. Just thought some with a monster pinch grip like Juha or Jedd can do blob swings. Dunno if this has been performed but it would be nice to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Well we will not be that much taller in the future. As a species we have not gotten any taller over the last few thousands of years. People could get just as tall a 1000 years ago if they were well fed. The smaller statue was due to starvation during childhood. A recent study on a viking-age church in Sweden demonstrated decreasing height of skeletons in the graves with increasing distance away from the church itself, i.e., rich and thereby well-fed people were very tall and got the 'best' spots closest to the church building. I think a lot of people when talking of whats possible (humanly possible) tend to massively underestimate. You only have to look a couple decades back in strongman to see theres been a huge improvement in overall strength. Back only three decades ago 300kg+ was a respectable deadlift for a wsm competitor, now its 400kg+.

Mikael Siversson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Another point to consider is the degeneration of Homo sapiens as a species. Not much natural selection going on anymore so don't be disappointed if we don't evolve into super-humans any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
