Pinch/saxon Dumbbell Training


Royz

Recommended Posts

Hi I've made this pinch/saxon dumbbel to train with. I think I've only seen one once or twice before, custom made. Made this one myself.

You can do stuff with this you couldn't (easily) do with a europinch or plates. Like snatches, cleans, presses, rows, curls etc. So it's really versatile. Mine is 7cm on one side and 9,5cm on the other side. Perfect for my hands, but too small if you got really big hands. Your fingertips will go over the edge. My hands are average I guess at 20cm.

A video of me training with it. Some snatches. lifts and curls.

I apologize for the bad video quality. Especially the snatching bit is terrible. Something went wrong with the camera I think.

I also apologize for my english. I'm from Holland and haven't spoken english since college.

Short term goals would be to do a 30kg snatch at 7cm and a 35kg lift at 9,5cm. A 30kg curl at 7cm would be awesome, but that's a little further down the road I think.

Those are not snatches dude.:-) what you're doing there is much tougher! You hardly giving the dumbbell any momentum.

One Hand Pinch Trainer:

I didn't know what to call this video ma be front raises.the one I have the picture of is really hard to lift heavier weights with, that's the one I would like to make out of metal someday. I also really like Aarons Saxon bar in fact I made one myself too I have videos on YouTube that show it, I can post them here too like Aaron did. I think it's a great tool and everyone should have one that does grip

Wow those are some great numbers on the saxon. I would love to make one, but I don't really have the room for it. Hence the dumbbell format.

Ever try curls on it Aaron?

Yep those are fun. Best was 135 on it. Really brutal like the plate curls.

Saw you 245lbs saxon bar deadlift on youtube. Made that look like a feather! How does that compare to your 2HP?

Also some heavy squats you are doing!

I think at the time my 2hp was 230, I havent pinched in a little while, I hurt my thumb at work but im almost better now. Squats help your grip too! Jason made a saxxon bar that slips over a olympic bar and is removable, its a good idea too.
