Guest Bullitt Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Alright, wouldn't exactly call it fresh, because while doing Wannagrip's RRBT gripper program, I am never fresh, but at least I hadn't done a gazillion closes today before i tried it (although I did a gazillion Saturday & Sunday). Honestly, I think the Diesel Crew US Grip Nationals T-shirt gave me extra power. 190lbs came up really easy. Got 200 up to my knees and aborted. It felt like I might lose it and I really didn't want to drop that much weight on our (OK, my wife's) floor. 190lb 1 Arm Axle DL: Was able to pull 160 with my left hand for 2 singles. Might have been able to pull 165 or 170, but was pretty happy with 160. Goal is to get my left within 10% of my right while continuing to improve with my strong hand. You da man, Mike Good stuff. Thanks guys!!! I may have found a lift I can compete in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andurniat Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 This brings up something I have wondered about on the difference between 2 hand numbers and one hand numbers. If your hands are very equal - I think your number may be closer to 1/2 your two hand number than if one hand is considerably stronger than the other - your one hand number may show a much bigger difference. My numbers are pretty equal on both arms. I think this relates back to the majority of kettlebell swings and snatches that I do equally on both arms. I'll be pulling a 1-arm axle tonight in training to see where I'm at. I think it will be close to 50% of my 2-hand. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested in what "world class" is on this lift. Mike, your freakin huge! Rico That's what she said.

Guest Bullitt Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I told you Mike...! Strong lift!! Thanks everyone. And thanks for the motivation manthos! Give this lift a try. If you don't have an axle, give it a shot on an oly bar. Fun stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I got curious about the disparity from hand to hand so I took a stab at it today (been a while and couldn't recall my lefty numbers. I had a solid 10 pound difference between hands, which as I think about it, probably isn't much. I'm less than 24 hours away from the biggest thick bar feat of my life so I won't shame myself with the numbers I hit today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have an axle, give it a shot on an oly bar. Fun stuff! Why not...! I don't have an axle so I'll use an oly bar. I'm not expecting much....somewhere between 80(176) and 100(220) sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I pulled 105kg (left hand) and 95kg (right hand) on my axle this morning. That's 231.5 lb lefty and 209.5 lb righty for us that haven't figured out the metric system! Very nice Andrew!!! I knew you were going to blow away what i was doing. Now I have a long term goal to shoot for. Out of curiosity, are you left handed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hit a new max PR for both hands tonight. 195lbs righty, 165lbs lefty. Tried 200 and 170 but it wasn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I pulled 105kg (left hand) and 95kg (right hand) on my axle this morning. Good numbers. I did 102.5-kilos on the 2nd of August 2003. I've no idea what I'd be good for now so will maybe give it a go Saturday. I think, but don't quote me, it was either 90 or 95 left handed.

andurniat Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am right hand dominate but have found my support grip that is needed for thick bar to be better on my left. Pinch grip goes back and forth between hands depending on injuries and the weather. I was able to break 110kg off the ground to my knees but that was it. I will post a video today hopefully.

Guest Bullitt Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) OK, so here's the list so far. If I missed anyone, let me know. It would be interesting to find out what everyone can do: 1 Arm Axle Deadlift Andrew Durniat: 231.5 lbs Steve Gardener: 226 lbs Mike Rinderle: 195lbs CoCfreak1: 125lbs (5 reps) Edited October 1, 2009 by Bullitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) I got 213 about 5 inches, 208 almost locked, and got 203. I only have video right now of the 2 misses because that's when I started recording. 208 was real close so close i though I got it but when i watched the video I saw i was a little short.
