Fbbc 2 Handed Economy Pinch

[Jeff Parker]

Just got my FBBC 2 handed economy pinch, thanks John, its great. Quality craftsmenship. My question is to those that have used the 2 hander from FBBC and have used the euro pinch. Whats an approximate comparison to the 2? I am hoping it is eaiser with the euro pinch. Today I maxed out at 97lbs on the FBBC. This was after a crush workout. I have maxed out at 143lbs using 2 45's with a pipe through them and adding weight. For training purposes I like the 2 hander better than just some 45's. Doesnt bite into my thumb webbing and is really easy to adjust weights.

Jeff-

Glad you like it. I don't think you'll get a lot of feedback, it's a pretty new product & you're only the 3rd guy to buy one. Good luck, though-

Jeff-

Bring it to the Michigan grip contest if you come. I'd like to see it!

I'd say the Euro grip is more comparable to 2 45's than what you are describing. Of course, once you really get chalk ingrained in the plates, it makes a big difference.

I have gotten 150 in training with my Euro pinch, compared to 155 in the last michigan comp with plates, though I did a ton better in comp than I ever did in training.

Ill bring it along with me.

I won a 2HP block from John at BBB. The main difference I noticed in the block and euro style set up is that you can tilt the FB block like a champ whereas the 45's take a lot more wrist strength. I have no idea what my max is on the FB block so I don't know which is harder. I just use it after my thumbs are about to split on the 45's and I still want to get more work in. The highest I've ever done on it was like 125-130 but again this was done after my main workout on the 45's. It feels a lot slicker than the 45's but the tilt advantage is huge. It's a great tool and would probably be good for 2H plate curls as well. I also love how it's so sturdy it looks like it came off of a tank.
