Sybersnott Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Did some anvil lifting with my 50 pounder. Boring!! :hehe Decided to get serious, and added some weight to that puppy. Slapped on another 20 pounds to make it a 70 pound lift. As Ted Arcidi would say, "It went up like buttercake". I have a chain around the middle of it and then through the chain I added the weights. Now, I'll haffta get MORE weights and a longer chain. I neglected to mention that I'm using my anvil SOLELY for horn lifting. Does anyone have a 50 pounder that they are lifting - doing horn lifting - and if so, what are you lifting? How long did it take you to get to that weight?? If I get a chance... I'll take some pics. I would like to work up to over 100 pounds if I can. BTW.... tried to lift a 70 pound anvil by the horn and failed miserably. The horn on a 70 pounder is just TOO wide for me; which is why I got my 50 pounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Today I was able to add 40 pounds to it to make it a 90 pound lift. Strangely enough, I was able to get a better grip with my left hand and was able to stand erect with this lift. I'll add more weight later on and give everyone the results.

Guest RobbyTooSlobby Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 WOW that is sweet...do you usually lift the same lift the day after? I usually need to rest a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 Robby, No. Mostly every other day - and sometimes I'll give a rest on the days I'm supposed to.... depends on how I feel. I'm gonna add more weight tomorrow, and see what happens. Wish me luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 2, 2002 Author Share Posted April 2, 2002 Update: Today I lifted over 100 pounds PLUS. And now I'm using chalk (and that makes the lifting so much easier). Now, I'll haffta add even MORE weight - that means getting more weight plates! At this pace..... I'll lift *** by Memorial Day!! :p :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
