Shatterer Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Incredible. His grip feats are what got me interested in grip-specific training. Guy is an absolute beast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Not to down the feat but those blocks with the long side pointing down give quite a bit of leverage. Look at the tilt he is getting throughout the lift - not at all a strict pinch. Perhaps overloading your strict 1RM in pinch may be beneficial and may carry over to the euro. Again not downing it, just observing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i am nowhere near his strength either way Edited September 7, 2017 by Jose Cabrera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Those lifts look like a terrific way to involve/work the wrists. I can't see a huge amount of carryover to say a Euro lift. Not knocking the feat . . . .does anyone think they could lift 320lbs in such a way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for Adam but I get the feeling that he doesn't really care about applicability to the Euro, that he is simply doggedly pursuing what interests him personally. And, I must say, I really admire that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so, but I'm willing to bet he's really close to WR level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminal Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Adam from his comments on Instagram: "I will be looking for a 300+ euro lift this winter" I guess I was wrong in my previous comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
