Kluv#0 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Rogue Fitness plates. I rested a day and recalled what Chris Rice told me about thumb positioning - Iam so thankful to Chris Rice and Mike Rinderle.

I actually told my wife prior that I bet I get it but told her no biggie about my PJ's. Thanks again Iam in the clouds right now:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 That flew up so fast! Judging by speed alone, I'd say you're ready for 25kg/20kg. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched your pinch of these with BOTH hands and that was motivating- not that Iam in your grip universe but how you lifted them so easy and your elation was very cool.

devinhoo Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hell yeah dude! Congrats!!! What's the width on that then, 45 mm right? I gotta work on my narrow pinch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Congratulations on a great pinch feat Mike! I think that very narrow width would add considerable difficulty to the lift for most people, plus those type of plates are usually rather slippery as well. I would almost certainly need to do specific training for that as it would feel very awkward for my fingers. A huge amount of strength was needed to do that and I look forward to see what you can do on different widths and plate types! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct that the plates are very slippery( I refer to them as slippery beauties) My hands are sub 7.5" so that helps me on this size but look forward to other plate pinching challenges for sure. Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensitive Guy Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 So, newbie question on plate pinches ... If you get hold of plates like https://www.rogueeurope.eu/rogue-calibrated-kg-steel-plates-eu or https://wolverson-fitness.co.uk/products/bison-power-plates etc which are completely flat on one side (seemingly rare in the UK), how do you progress from pairs please? Matching sized plates, no problem as the diameters match up, hanging small weights from a single plate wont work as you have the large lip, do you use pinch blocks to progress, or are there flat “covers” you can use on the lipped side to help with progress? Help me out folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me out folks When I trained plate pinching I drilled a small hole in the plates and inserted a threaded rod in them that was slightly bent, then I could just hang the smaller plates on each side. You can just use a pipe in the middle as well but if you do you have to be aware that it will make the lift easier. So if your goal is 2x20 pinch lift you probably have to be able to lift significantly more than 40 kg with a setup like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me out folks I trained for this feat by pinching 2-35’s with additional weights(thumbside only)attached via strong magnets.

Thank you for your comments Would make it easier because the plates are held level do you mean. Therefore you don’t have to have the ‘grip to keep them from slipping, and lift the weight itself? 9 hours ago, Kluv#0 said: I trained for this feat by pinching 2-35’s with additional weights(thumbside only)attached via strong magnets.
