Number Ten Ox Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Nice, hope to do that myself soon. How long did it take? How did you train? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselWeasel Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Nice, hope to do that myself soon. How long did it take? How did you train? ← I have been working on my pinch grip for about one year. I'm not sure exactly how long though. I try to mix it up with different things: block weights, plate pinch, IronMind handles (pinch block and hub), plate hub lifts, tearing (phonebooks and cards). EricMilfeld: Thanks.

DAN PRAYDIS Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 that is a great accomplishment for anyone now just add timed holds and you'll be doing the 35s next . just dont slack up like me i had the 45s almost licked but a slight layoff has did me in . new years resolution . get back 100 percent into grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtime Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Go to Home Depot, Get a 12" peice of 1 1/2" pipe and start loading weight. You'll be hoisting the 35's in no-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softhands Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 First, congrats on the 2 25s. That's something I bet no more than 5 guys in my entire gym can do. Second, if you've got the IronMind loading pin you can use it to work weights in-between 2 25s (50) and 2 35s (70). For instance, tonight I couldn't get 2 35s (I'm just returning to pinch grip work), but I was able to load 2 25s and a 10 to the loading pin (which is about 4 pounds, iirc) and squeeze the 2 25s up while pulling a total of @64 lbs. I assume Oldtime's idea of the pipe is along the same lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can pinch 2 25 lb plates also and it took me awhile to do it also. I noticed that you had chalk dust on the plate. Do you really think it makes a differece how much you can do with chalk dust? I usually switch between softball lifts and two 10 pound plates with weight attached to a chain. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Ten Ox Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It seems like adding the pvc through the center hole would make the lift easier since you don't have to worry as much about squeeezing the two together. I wonder how much more weight you can add by inserting the pvc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
