Mike Rinderle Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I think you guys are overestimating 500. You're both probably close to strong enough right now. All mental. Make a goal to get 200kg in the next month and make it happen. 500 will be yours by Spring! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a huge milestone for me. Honestly I haven't felt so happy since the first Red Nail gave way, 500 makes bending a Red or closing a #3 feel like a non-event. 600 feels even better. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 2.45 X BW. Hit 600 at 245 in a single ply squat suit on Sunday, which was my 46th birthday. Tried to post the link, but it isn't letting me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgins Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The race is great and motivating idea! I just like to be cautious that the friendly race does'nt carry me away (priority: good form). At home train DO mostly, or even snatch grip. always with a small defizit (ca 1inch @178cm high). Yesterday missed 185kg@74kg. But safely with 175kg (ca 2.36 bw), no aids, no belt, chuck-like shoes. Started in May with 120kg@74kg. Other training elements: kb swings (40kg-2*28kg), TGUs, squats, pull-ups, dips, KB MPs. Goal: 188kg in 2013 (2.5bw) 3*bw in 2014 ;-))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Jumping in this (late) to help motivate me to hit this goal. Current best is 335lbs at 160lbs, 2.09xBW. I'm rounding my goal up to 405. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had this thread and challenge in mind as we finished the Arizona grip comp on Saturday. For my last attempt on one hand axle, I easily pulled 126% of my bodyweight well past legal height. Still had more in the tank, and I was preparing to attempt a double overhand axle pull following the contest... I believe with very slim chances I could've pulled 250% of my weight with a sumo stance. Unfortunately for my purpose, we pulled away and went to an arm wrestling practice- so until I have a chance again, I won't know for certain what I'm capable of. Hope everybody is doing great in their training. Let's keep this thread alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 430 today or 2.32xBW, had more in the tank....back is feel i got 505 on 2-26 of this year which was 2.59 x bw. i got the 2.5 x bw a few months before that. now the push is to 600# regardless of bw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickmeniru Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Forgot about this thread but I managed to hit 240kg at 93.5kg bodyweight, which is just over 2.5x. Trying to address my form issues, so will probably be a while before I go any heavier, but next target is 600lbs too. Congrats to everyone else who has managed to get to 2.5x whilst I've been away from the board! Edited June 9, 2015 by PatrickMeniru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you on the board. Have you tested you Axle deadlift lately?All the best. quite honestly, i have not trained grip specifically in a while. the nationals brought me back to the board to see how things went. i have been working on getting generally stronger since i saw you at that strongman comp last march. it has been working although my pressing still lags badly due to my shoulders generally being constantly cranky.

patrickmeniru Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks man, I'm going on holiday for a few weeks and then starting work at a desk job with pretty demanding hours so I'm hoping that I can keep up with my training and hit 600lbs eventually.
