acorn Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) First time trying this for weight. Got the idea after reading about a lift Ben came up with as far as I know, the R+P Thickbar Farmers carry. I managed to get another 5Kg after this one but didn't bother videoing. 100# seems doable with some work. Or at least 40Kg at the minimum for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoa6l1E8sF8 - Aaron Edited August 26, 2014 by acorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pizzo Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 That seems like it could be a pretty useful variation. Definitely nice to have a variety of accessory lifts in the tool bag...nice job man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Interesting. . . . My curiosity demands I try this lift tonight (subject to locating my 40mm v-bar handle). I think I'll be happy if I can get 44lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 messed around a little with this between 2hp attempts... 52# felt easy but 62# ramped up fast... didn't try anything higher cuz they were hell on my bicep tendons!! definitely a good supplement to crush training however 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason I was testing it and with 1.5" vbar was for crush accessory. Finger positions are not far off final close position. I took a quick look at finger position on the 1" vbar as well and finger position is a bit tighter than final closed position with unfiled gripper. Something between the 2 may be the sweet spot, or this might be close enough joint angles for the isometric carryover effect. It does ramp up fast. I did mine after a rather healthy gripper session and was able to do the 58# both hands, and 69# LH but only barely break that off ground RH it was so smoked from the gripper work. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Also why I have a 1.5" revolving handle. Edited August 27, 2014 by acorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slazbob Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've used the silver bullet in this fashion. Using only the pinkie to lift the weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Very creative Aaron! That actually looks kind of painful. I only have a 1.9" vbar, but I will have to try it Saturday. Edited August 28, 2014 by bwwm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
