That was awesome. Brian lifting roughly the equivalent of a 315 lb bell was insane.

I'm curious about the serial numbers. Matt's from 2006 has serial number 29293, while deadgrip's from 2004 has serial number 30276. Perhaps the serial numbers are not perfectly chronological? But they do appear to be chronological overall between versions. Nathan Holle's v1 is 10184 Matt's v1 is 29293 deadgrip's v1 is 30276 Magnus Samuelsson's v2 is 49071 IronMind photo of v2 is 50615 Jouni Parkarinen's v3 with the 3.5 addition is 53279 My v4 (sky blue compass) card is 78178 dubyagrip's v5 "Black Beauty" card is 128793 I'll update the main post tomorrow when I have some time.

Push Day Got off to a rocky start but finished nice and strong!!! Started with a Bench AMRAP at 225 for an IG contest being run by Jimmy Kolb. Every year during the NFL combine I do a 225 AMRAP pretending I’m there, so it’s nice to get to do an official one!!! I was feeling strong on the warmups but sadly under-executed and got 16 reps despite benching pretty consistently lately. Was hoping for low 20s or at least 18 to tie last combine😂 I didn’t submit it yet, and will retry next week and hopefully make 16 seem puny!!! Next up was a barbell kneeling press and kettlebell z press superset. 155x3 bar and 70x2 kb per set. These went great and knew I was right about being strong despite the bench result. So time let out the leash a bit and go for some cool lifts 🤣🤣🤣 Started with a kneeling bent press using a 110 pound circus dumbbell with massive 12” globes. I’ve done it standing before but never went for it kneeling til today, and it was one of my cooler looking lifts in a while!!! Only succeeded righty as lefty I wasn’t able to muscle that big boy into a nice starting position. I actually think my left handed bent press is more aesthetic but doesn’t mean much if you can’t get the weight into position to begin with🤣 still, getting it right handed was mega cool! And for the grand finale, a lift that’s evaded me for a long time, the double 45kg Holle Inch dumbbells incline press!!! I’ve never been able to kick them into position before but finally managed it and then was so surprised I forgot I had to press them still haha so botched the first press and recovered for a double. Then I came back and kicked them up and hit a proper set of 5 and quit a winner!!!  

you got a great deal.

That's an amazing deal and they are in great shape, usually I see them and the rubber is all chewed up
