Awesome performance. On the Wrist Wrench as you ramp up use a monkey-grip (thumbless) for as long as you can... you'll REALLY feel it in your flexors!

Many thanks my friend. This was the first time ove tried pressing on any kind of bar since march pre lockdown for covid here. Using the EZ bar was very awkward. Especially to clean but good fun. Id expect 70kg soon if i keep them up.

Nice lifts there!

Thanks man. Felt good today, the holle it up thumb pressure is immence. Its really made a difference to normal thick bar and ive had great pinch carryover.

Going for a p.r soon. Nathan holle says when you can lift around 60kg on this you can lift the 78kg inch db.

Yes according to Nathan himself 60kg should on the thumb side should produce the same torque on a standard 78kg Inch dumbbell.

Also according to most guys here a 45kg lift on a wrist wrench also means a lift on the Inch. 

Nice work with the high pulls. Is your plan to to train for single arm cleans?

Thanks man. Yeah 60kg is the final goal. Im at 40kg atm. Still a long way to go but im still fairly new to all this. 

Cleans would be hard with this being offset but could be fun to try. 

I just wanted to get lots of time under tension, lots of reps in with submaximal weights. It realy does smoke the thumb a lot compared to regular thick bar.

Funny you mention the Wrist wrench. Ive just made a 50mm one. The 60mm one i made with a chrome bar is just too slick and slippy for my liking and for wrist strengthening id prefer a slightly smaller diameter. 45kg is elite and ive heard the same although everyone will be different.

Wrap the 60mm with athletic tape; that should help tremendously grip wise.

I sanded my WW and rubbed a crap ton of chalk over it. Now its fairly grippy.

Nice work on the 50mm, looks mean 💪

Also I don't know if that number refers to a 2" or 2 3/8".

My 60mm was chromed bar, no good as you cant sand it so will scrap that. This 50mm is mild steel so itll hold chalk fine. 50mm is 2" 60 is 2 3/8. 

Thank man it looks decent enough i think. Only cost be £6 for the pipe as well. Ill try it out on thursday maybe..need a couple pf days rest after todays session.
