odin Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Strong work David. Be very mindful w/ this lift; I've severely injured a finger tendon pulley w/ rim lifting, so when i train it now it is for fairly long holds and set it down before it gets anywhere near being dropped to the ground. Don't really care if this is a major strength; just trying to keep it from being an obvious weak link in the chain. I find it useful to do some finger curls before rim lifts to prepare everything and make sure my hands are plenty warm, even run hot water on them first so they feel less creaky. The plus to (carefully) doing the rim lift is that David Horne recommends developing fingertip strength for the Inch; his Adjustable Thick Bar targets this well w/ less injury potential than the rim lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mitti Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the heads up Bob! I am going to watch and like you I also pulled something in my ring finger awhile back. Was doing some various finger deadlifts with the oly bar and went for a sloppy 2nd rep and the finger must have adjusted out of position and bamn..I heard and felt it,took months to heal and even after that point it still got sore. Got up to a 275# Middle fingers Deadlift when I decided to stop doing the lift. It was playing with my head big time knowing the pain I got from that injury producing lift. I will be careful, Thanks for your advice bro.. Edited April 16, 2014 by David Mitti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I partially tore a pulley with exactly this lift too. Took me about 3-4 months to recover from. Strong lift though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
