Luke Whippo Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Done today too, 80lb give or take, solid steel. Haven't touched this guy in near a decade! Edited February 19, 2020 by Luke Whippo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not much finger wrap there. Strong lift, even for a guy that looks to be 7' 4"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Whippo Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Eric, That training and photo was done completely on a whim, I've never posted pictures of myself anywhere but here, I don't practice it. I'm way under 6', that gripping has my body leaning and I just so happened to be standing under the dip in the ceiling, too funny. Yeah, not much wrap there, thanks for noticing, my forearms still have DOMS (because I trained double overhand deads two days later), but that thing left me with DOMS for at least 48 hours, from just 4 reps each hand. The last time I did that lift was 2009, (haven't touched any thickbar since) I will hopefully continue to lift that bar more often for more reps. Maybe in a decade I'll have larger plates on it and I can update the photo? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It’s definitely a very humbling diameter for most of us. Fun lift though! Yeah, add plates... or work up to a clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte portance, même pour un gars qui semble mesurer 7' 4" ! what you mention is a good element, lift plays a key role in large diameter objects; you must have strength in your wrist, thumb and front bars and even all the fingers that squeeze the smaller your hand and this is a consistent fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Way cool , can you post some pictures of your bar. years ago I made a 3 inch Olympic bar. It as revolving ends and weighs just over 100 pounds. Edited January 29 by John Knowlton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
