Guest Jeff Roark Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Friday, I two hand pinched 171.5lbs, and right hand pinched two 35lbers for the first time. I was pretty happy. Next up is to shut my BBM again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Nice work Jeff! How long till we see a rafter pull up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Roark Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I'd say a bit Scott as I got to drop down to 175lbs first, then I hope I am nearing the 200lbs mark on the two hand pinch. I am holding on to that 195lbs hard for some reason. Can you do the rafter pinch Scott? My real grip goals for the moment are to two hand pinch 200lbs, one hand 45lbers and close that #3. When I reach them I will move onto the Rolling Thunder and Plate curls. Should one be able to rafter chin if he can do 200lbsx1 and weigh 175lbs? I figure a one will need a bit of endurance to hold while the chin is being completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Nice job Jeff ! I can't imagine doing rafter pull ups. Thats just not a fatman's exercise ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Roark Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Thanks Harlan. It will be awhile before I am able to do the chin. On that note I gave my BBM one heck of a ride last night. I didn't close it but the only thing you could get between the handles would have been the head of a needle. I will try it again in a month, hopefully by then I will be able to mash the heck out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Jeff, First of all, way to go on your latest grip accomplishments! Do you have a IM #3? If not, when will you get one?? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 That's some nice lifting! I bet yer the best pincher in town, not many guys can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Roark Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Snott, I have the #3 and have got it down to about 3/4inch when I was at my peak in crushing, at that time I also colsed the BBM. I have limited attempts before good old CTS sets in so I have to be careful with to many max attempts. Nathan, Thanks! Well i probably am the best pincher around here because when I mention it, even people who lift, ask why would you want to that? I say "I don't know".... it will get better I hope, hopefully to around 200lbs worth of good! Maybe I can train super hard this year and start saving some cash and maybe make a trip to one of these grip comps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
