I know nothing about pinch. Is this the same as doing a 135 two hand pinch? Or is it different?

Awesome! I just recently did this and was surprised at how tough it was..

well... Yes AND no. Yes, the weight is the same, but its much wider than any 2hp device. And the center plate really tries to run away on you, so you have to squeeze a little harder to make up for the loose plate. And given the wider width, it makes it just a tad harder to hang onto.

I'll say this...I was able to lift 155 on an official Euro the first time I ever tried one (135 is fairly pedestrian for 2hp depending on your baseline strength)....I just lifted 192 on my pinch block at home the other day...and I still can't pinch 3 45's like this. Maybe its the width or the slickness of the loose plates or a combination of several things Tommy pointed out but for whatever reason it continues to elude me.

I have respect for this lift. I chalked up the outsides of 3 45s and was at least able to break them off the floor but than the two outside ones spread out at the bottom and they fell.

Just think of when the urban legend of Dr. Fred Hatfield saying in praise (and joking ) that he Saw Bill Kaz Kazmier pinch 3 loose 45s with one hand. I heard it repeated as gopel for years.I finally asked Kaz about the truth in this he laughed and said" not in this lifetime".

I have met folks before that in their zeal to talk about grip mentioned what I have done by name ( some true and some just a dream) and when they realized it was me they were actually talking to, a shallow gulp and they remarked" oh , you ARE Richard Sorin" fun stuff.

That would be awkwardly hilarious

Is big and shallow mean the same thing or spelled alike ? Mr. Artmont. Please comment on your deliberate or innocent accusing of my true intentions on this or other public sites. I try my best tell the truth and have traveled to many nationwide and personally met people that knew or thought they knew my life or accomplishments without having a clue. I request in your zeal to criticize someone you don't know at least you show some human respect by reading correctly or meeting me first.

Now do you see the point with you doing the same to Kinney?

Robert and others, Get smart ,seek the truth ,or if you don't require it to "drink the lemonade" and you still have something to say ,please get it right. I would have at least expected a correction or perhaps a shallow apology for your less than respectful words about me.

Best of luck in your training I would like to hear more of your perhaps impressive personal grip feats as well because this site is devoted to grip and grip evolution .I would be pleased to talk grip with you personally as well ...any time. Regards, Richard
