Thanks Chez! Wasn't planning on even trying this. I had just thrown a couple of steaks on the grill and got an idea.  I had never seen a vid of a 2HP with a 45 and a 100lb Plate.  So of course I ran over to the shed to try it.  That went up so easy, I thought why not?  60 seconds later I was doing this.  

Happened so fast, I didn't have time to psych myself out and the steaks still came off the grill rare! :D 

Here's the 2hp.

45 / 100 lb plate pinch.

I have to say, I've never seen a 100 plate let alone tried to lift a 100 and a 45, but it seems to me that a 100 and a 45 with 2 hands would be much easier (I use the term relatively) than 2 45s with 1 hand.  But never having done either, congrats on both!

Hell yes Rindo! I’d say that was a legit lift. Lifting two 45’s is one of my ultimate goals of grip! I’ve gotten them to hop, but still miles away from a full lift.

It's been one of my top 3 since I started.  Never really trained it specifically enough until now.  With your strength and determination, I bet you could do it in pretty short order if you concentrated on it.

Thanks Vinnie.  Yea, the 45/100 combo is much easier.  Seemed a little harder than 3 45s. Probably because the 100 has a slick enamel coating that won't hold chalk and the extra 10 lbs.  Thanks for checking it out.

Congrats Mike...good to see all the pinching paying off. Training for the Philly Fit we have been doing a lot of wide pinch and I have been making great progress with both 3" width but also 4" width.

Wasn't mine either, until I actually started training it seriously.

Next area of concentration for me is wide pinch.  Need to lift that fat man!
