I failed to lift a 118 solid bell, no movement at all and a month later I lifted Jedds shot loaded 127 no problem like 4 times 4x in a set? Or 4 separate singles in a set? Being an only 9 pound difference, I can see you lifting the 127 for 4 separate singles for sure.

I hope I can get a 118 today but haven't had a chance to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVE101 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 That 53 Kg StrengthShop Bell is even harder to clean because the handle is an inch or so longer than most Inch style dumbbells. The longer total length creates more inertia to overcome during the "flip" of the clean. I felt the FBBC Bells were easier for this feat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to me with enough momentum and proper hand placement, the longer handles made the flip easier but still not easy whatsoever lol. Hard to tell though because I don't have a SS bell and normal inch style of the same weight. I have cleaned the 58kg SS bell a handful of times though and only got close to the 135lb baby inch (not for long! ). Maybe the lack of clean technique and just trying to muscle it up is why it seems this way for me... idk. I'm not disagreeing or anything, just sharing my experience. The long and slicker handles of the SS bells do make them feel harder to deadlift though. But once the deadlift is cake and high pulls become easy, it's a negligible factor when attempting a clean.

Yea, I guess it could make a difference. At the end of the day, I just didn't have the strength or the technique to get it done. Next time I get my hands on one... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
