Sybersnott Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Is anybody doing serious work with the HHII bar? If so, what would be a good weight that would be impressive? I've worked up to 30 pounds so far.... I don't know if that weight means anything. Comments, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virgman Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Just curious, but how do you train the lever bar? How many directions do you move the bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bobjodoin Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 It is hard to say. What I call "hammering the ceiling" is the one that allows the most poundage. 30 on that is heavy. Hammer curls at that weight would be huge. I should do more work with mine. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Claemore70 Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 I think I have made my own leverage bar- tell me if I have. I took a dumbbell and duct taped one end for the handle. Then I just put weights on the other end. Normally, I train with fifteen lbs, but have moved up to 20. I do this with my forearm resting on my leg (while sitting), and move my wrist in a hammer type motion. Is this basically the same as a leverage bar workout? If not let me know how to do it.

Guest Virgman Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 I've also been using an extra DB bar (about 15 inches) with a collar on one end with a plate sandwiched between it and another collar. I rest my forearm on my knee and lower the weight forward and back, then to the left and back, and then to the right and back. This is one rep. But I only have a 5lb plate on it plus collars. All told about ten pounds. I do 5 sets of 5 reps. For me it is difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
