Here's a couple secrets for you, I haven't trained any sort of hub since King Kong '16 when I trained for the shallow hub. I only pinch the Flask, Blobs, and a really thin block (to train for pinching calibrated plates). There is tremendous carryover for me for block pinching and hubs. I am taking it easy right now with my training, but I was pinching on the Flask 2x/week and blobs 1x/week. And thank you.

After you crush the SFG cert you should compete in the Tactical Strength Challenge, you are strong in all those events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 That is a nice pull regardless of finger/thumb placements. Not knocking your lifts or other hub lifts but had about 10 people ask me yesterday what I thought you could pull if you started your fingers not doorknob style but as a tripod(IM such as below) - I will be curious to see how long you can hold onto 40lbs with the doorknob style thumb sideways style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My setup is slightly different in that I take the stretch out of my skin, but the beginning of the lift is perfectly legal and definitely not "doorknob style", which is grasping the hub like a v-bar. Doorknob style is different from what I am doing and not legal for Horne or IM. Furthermore, I created another thread challenging anyone to lift any of the more common hubs with basically any style they wish, and no one came forward with a record breaking performance. To me this indicates that it makes no functional difference among elite lifters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen Jared and John McCarter use your style both very good hubbers. Basically, Iam asking how much difference there is between the two styles- if there is a big difference I would switch to your style and share that with others. Fingers/thumb in a tripod START position and essentially vertical is completely different than your START/SETUP style where you index, middle and thumb are not close to being vertical at the start of lift.

wobbler Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Little off topic, but ironmind rules are all fingertips touching the bottom plate at the start. How you get there doesn't matter, nothing about vertical fingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
