Bill Piche Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 A 100lb plate and a thin 45 back to back. Pinch grip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushjunior Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 yeah, I can't pick up a 100 lb plate with one hand (if it has a thin lip). Oh, I get it now, you were making a joke. Haha. While we're at it, has anybody pinched 3 45's yet? I'd pay to see someone do that, even if the lips are facing out on the outer 45's.

Bill Piche Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 No joke. Would this even be possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Nope, not possible. I just now tried it. Seriously, David Horne did 143 by grasping one plate, but the two plates you mention would be wider, and his pinching ability drops on wider surfaces (so I read). Would a rod thru the two plates be allowed- though I doubt the holes would be in alignment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Wannagrip, That feat ranks up there with something like the 4:00 minute mile. It sounds impossible now, but if and when grip training reaches a popularity level similar to powerlifting (stressing the if) or just keeps attracting people with potential and training techniques continue to improve, this feat does not seem out of human capabilities in my mind.

Tou Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Crush junior, Try to find someone (beside Horne and Sorin) who can pinch 3 25's. You won't. What about pinching 3 45's. It will be accomplished the same day as the 2000 pounds deadlift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushjunior Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Tou, Mmmm... that 2000 lb deadlift sounds hard. I'm not sure how much more difficult pinching a 100 and a 45 with smooth sides out with one hand and no rod through the middle would be than 3 45's. Of course a rod through the middle of the 45's would help a LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Richard Sorin stated on this forum pinching three 35 pound plates - 105 pounds - as an awesome pinch gripping feat. Has anyone (besides me) tried this. (oh yeah, I couldn't do it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Can anyone on this board tear a 45 in half any way possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Yea, I'm working on the 45 lb. plate tear with just thumb and forefinger. Just tearing out a small chunk of course for extra difficulty. And then bending that chunk over on itself, which is then followed by crushing that chunk into a new denser material w/two fingers. (I'll have to progress to just one finger in a little while.) =Þ Michael Falkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 LOL I'm pretty sure someone is going to read this and will attempt a plate tear in the gym. I would pay to see the face of the gym owner seeing a guy trying to tear a plate in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
