45 Lb Plate Press

[DAN PRAYDIS]

im new to the board and dont know if this is new or not. but over at the power house gym they have plates that have the handles they are not flat so you cant pinch grip them i grabed one curled it overhead and pressed it once then twice and it turned and almost hit me in the head then my boy laughed then it was on i chalked up griped tight and pressed it 12 times it takes a lot of wrist strength to hold it vertical with out it falling over then i did sets find a 45 and give it a try its different and every one in the gym will think your nuts like me have fun a 45 lb handel plate will cost you about 22 dollars good training

One of my pairs of 45's the handle and I have tried this in the past, lots of fun, not the sort of thing I would consider to close to failure with.

I've seen this plates at one of the gyms on campus. For most gripping purposes I considered them infeirior, but this is definately something I want to check out.

Are you guys talking about Iron Grip style plates?

We have a couple of pairs at the gym.

I have 2 of these handled 45s. Kind of a fun thing to mess around with every once in a while. I agree that it doesn't sound like a good idea to go even close to failure though...I like the teeth that I still have!
