My buddy @Waynehas and Inch that's in desperate need of lifting. Very cool dumbbell. I have a couple loadables from AASS and they're great. Do you find it tought to balance bending with grip work? Does the grip training carryover well to steel bending? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find it tought to balance bending with grip work? Does the grip training carryover well to steel bending? Most of the time I do grippers followed by bending. I feel like the grippers kind of warm me up for the bending and will start warm up bends in-between the gripper closes towards the end. If I was gonna do thick bar and bending in the same workout I'd probably do the grip first followed by the bending. As for the carry over, I'm not too sure. I mean, having a stronger grip definitely helps with bending but I'm not sure how significant it it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranger Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Lifted my Rogue Deep dish 45's today for a bunch of singles. Probably around 6 total lifted each hand. Attempted 52.5 but the weight wasn't centered so I guess I gotta get more 2.5 and 5 lb plates. Arm assassin's strength shop 2 3/8 loadable dumbbell handle Worked up to 135 and broke it off the ground each hand the did 4 reps alternating hands with 115 (4 reps each hand) This thing kills my forearms, definitely gotta stay more consistent with it. Bending 2- 5/16x7 G2 3 reds in IMP's and half suede Failed Bend spot Canada Moose bar Red Failed 70d 1/4x6 g8 Happy with how the reds went but felt taxed from the thick bar. Hopefully finish that Moose bar this week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
