Matt Brouse Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you all keep beating my best lifts - I'm going to change the event to rock climbing over a piranha tank You do that and I'm gonna have to cut fats, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I love it when newbies who can't lift worth a crap just post other people's videos for some reason! ... So... this thread reminded me of a video that maidenfan put up on youtube long time ago: That's 170 on a 3" bar. I know it's worthless to estimate what he'd do on a whole inch less in diameter, but would it be wise to guess it'd be around those numbers posted by Andrew and Steve, maybe?

If you go and read Morgans training log - you'll find some pretty amazing stuff - and it's posted like it's nothing special - which is just the way I think he views it - he's freaky strong and fit - beast!

bencrush Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Chris James would have to be way up there too, since he's done 500 DO. Matt Graham probably would've gone well over 250, but he used a hook grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 On an axle? 11" hands? Lol, not sure how long they were, but I saw him one-arm clean and jerk 195lbs on an Axle while standing on a grassy surface. He is a superbeast. He hasn't done a grip contest - at least as far as I know - since 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if by hook grip you mean just having the tip of your thumb under your middle finger, heh. I think Matt Brouse posted a pic of him hooking an Axle and his hands are big, but not even 9" if I remember correctly. On this topic of the one arm axle DL, I wonder what Laine Snook can do.... that video of him doing 7 reps with the Millenium DB says to me he has some very serious thickbar strength, to say the least!

I think Matt Brouse posted a pic of him hooking an Axle and his hands are big, but not even 9" if I remember correctly. I can do that too. That doesn't even deserve to be called a hook grip, though. It offers no advantage and in fact it hurts performance on the axle. You need extremely large hands to have any sort of real hook grip on an axle, the kind that would raise your numbers. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I managed to get 170 off the ground on a solid axle. This makes absolutely no sense to me, but I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 200 lb miss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42PsBTkDx_o This was after axle DLs, so I think I could get it fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Just read this post for the first time a few minutes ago. Unlike some, I have no shame telling what I can and can't do. I worked out last night, but figured, "what the hell go into the garage and give it a shot", as I was privately certain I could do 200 lbs. Put 123 on. Like a feather. Yeah 200! Put 173 on. Nope. Put 163 on. Yes. I will never get 200. It's a great event and something that ought to be contested. Good job Chris Rice, like Rocky Balboa, you "invented" something!

The Natural Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just wait till Paul posts his video compilation of all the stuff that went down last night in Eric's garage. Ryan goes quite a bit beyond 200. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to hear about your need for viagra at such a young age. Go pull it to lockout tonight so i don't need to change the list. If not, at least get a realistic number. If you got 170 halfway, you should be good for at least 160. Now do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice!!! I'm sure that bar is considerably harder than an IM Axle but do you have any idea of your numbers on an IM bar? Either way, that's an exceptional lift! Oh - that's a very nice bar!

Guest Bullitt Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wow!!! Sick lift Timo! Congrats on the 400+ on the DO axle pull as well! Other updates include a new PR for Aaron and the revision on Zach's number until he posts what he can really do. 1 Arm Axle Deadlift Andrew Durniat: 231.5 lbs Steve Gardener: 226 lbs Timo Tuukkanen: 220.5 lbs Ryan Johnson: 213 lbs (if that was a 33# IM axle in Paul's vid) Nick Rosendaul: 208 lbs Aaron Corcorran: 200 lbs Mike Rinderle: 195 lbs Mike Corlett: 163 lbs CoCfreak1: 125 lbs (5 reps) Zach Coulter: 125 lbs One question I have Timo, or anyone else that knows, does the rotating bar try to turn out of your hand less than a solid axle or pipe does? Either way, super strong stuff bro!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
