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. Not sure of the execution going off memory here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Are you all working on the first part of the Slim Lever as well- where it starts on the floor - and you wrist lever it to vertical keeping your hand on the floor? Kind of the opposite of this lift? Edited February 13, 2018 by climber511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Thanks mate! I really dont think most people understand how difficult heavy levers are. A local strongman came to town when i was 14 and did a demo of strongman and highland games. He was the largest human I'd ever seen! not very tall, but THICK! One demo was a 5'6" wooden dowel with 2.5 lbs hung on the end with a finishing nail. "I got 20 bucks says noone can pick this up" and he was right, noone did lmao And thats in a small fishing town where most of those guys have some powerful lower limbs. guys were getting some mad when he started tossing the stick back and forth "common guys, its easy! just pick it up!" lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so deceptive... it humbles the “strongest” of men.... the “oh that’s so easy” crowd. It’s fun having hammers at the house when a party is going on and wowing the kids with them. So portable yet such an effective tool for lower arm strength. It’s definitely a showmans tool if uses properly. ME LOVES EM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had hammers a few times at Gripmas and always have 12 - 16 - or 20# sledge to the face options even in my Medleys. I have seen a few guys over the years that were just flat out stronger than even the strongest normal grip guys - it was a rare privilege to watch them. I grew up on The MIghty Atom and Slim the Hammerman - always wished I could have seen either in person when in their prime. Someday maybe someone will come along to challenge what they did - but I doubt it will be in my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got “sons of Samson” from iron mind back in 1998 or so. Never tried it thought until 2015! Wish I found Grip back then! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
