Kluv#0 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Received the Jedd Johnson Autograph Pickaxe April 7th 2017 after using a pink one( I didn't make it, LOL) for 6weeks. I was around 16 .5 lbs first try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, out of all my training lifts that I have done this is by far the hardest and my best lift ever. Fun lift and genius pickaxe. David Horne, who is miles(24lbs) the best at this lift in the world, has a great video on the exact specifications for the pickaxe. You have the strength and size to excel at this lift no doubt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Riccardo, as you know this lift was a lot of hard training over the last 10 months- very proud and felt like I had more in the wrist tank:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike do you think this has carryover to other lifts? Has carryover to everything Grip related. Wrist is king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me anyway, it has a strange carryover to the 2 hands key pinch- as It forces me to train all sides of the wrist equally. Ulnar gets worked over just as much as radial and is an underrated part of that lift. Iam sure if someone was a steel bender it may help but I do it because of strength balance in wrist region.

I read from a legend of grip when first starting out - wrist strength is the moat of hand strength. One thing ALL great gripsters have is crazy wrist strength- that was easy to figure out after doing some research and watching vids/records starting out.

I had read that a lot but it never clicked until I went to Gripmas and literally couldn't do any of the hammer feats that everybody else had no trouble with. This is a ridiculous lift, I'm having trouble with a 6lb even choked a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrist is the link that connects the hands to the forearms... if that is weak then your potential for grip is phenomenally reduced! WORK THEN HARD!

Hammers play zero favorites- either you have the goods or not.

Here’s one for ya Mikey.....had a hard workout this morning.... but all this talk about rear hammer chokes had the double 16s taunting me in the garage to come out and tame them! how did I do?

Without knowing the weight of his hammers, of course. It would be cool to see you put together the rear lift and the double face lever with the 16#'s. I will go out to the garage and do it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
