Aleksandar Milosevic Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hey guys, I've seen that pinching two 35s is regarded as a feat of strength so I wanted to ask this question: Is there a huge difference in pinching two steel plates vs pinching two rubberized plates? The plates I use for pinching are rubberized, but it's a thin layer and they are 30+ years old, and slick + they are thicker. Two plates are about 10 cm/4 inches thick. I can lift them to forehead level, pass them from hand to hand behind my back, and I've managed to lift 20 + 15 with my right hand. So can anyone with experience tell me what's the difference that they feel? I do not have access to steel plates with a flat side, I've never seen those in Serbia. Thanks in advance!

Fist of Fury Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I would say it's a big difference yes. It also depends on what plates it is, thickness etc. Some plates has a really small rim which makes it harder. Standard competition plates like Eleiko is thinner which can make it more difficult but that also depends on the individual. Some people prefer a smaller width while others like wider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 I feel like I perform better at a bit thicker pinch. I'll just have to find some steel plates somewhere and try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonD Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It’s hard to say. Can’t really compare plates because of the different finishes and widths. Finishes, or lack there of, vary greatly between steel plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
