Jared Goguen Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Welded up a new toy today. I'm not sure why you don't see more Saxon Dumbbells. I'm already enjoying this and its slick as can be at the moment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Made myself one of these a few years ago. Fun to train cleans and snatches. Mines 3x3. Nice work and way to think outside the box! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royz Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Looks amazing Jared! Made one last year with a wooden block and a metal bar. Trained with it for a while. I'ts great that you can do stuff with it you couldn't do with most other pinch tools. Cleans, snatches, presses, rows, curls, walks whatever you want. But in the end I found it didn't carryover well to other pinch feats like plate pinches etc. because it's too easy to tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it would have carry over, only one way to find out for myself and that's to make one and use it you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Goguen Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I messed around some with it today, already getting rust spots on it. A basement gym in the PNW means every seasons like it or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
