Pinch Grip

[Alawadhi]

I just want to shake hands with people that can close #4 and lift 2 45. today i bought 2 35s to train on them. and i could hardly lift it with two hands without chalk. after i lift that thing i kept holding it for 15 seconds and let me tell you. i think i did a whole workout . i think this is because this is my first real pinch workout. i never did this type of pinch. i want to ask should i lift this thing by two hands to trin with or use 2 25s for a long time then train on the 2 35s?

btw, which is harder to lift, the BLOB or 2 45s?

the blob isn't any harder, it's just a different kind of strength. I would suggest putting a piece of pipe through the 25's and keep adding weight.

I would definitely say that on average, the blob is far easier than 2 45's.

It depends what width of pinch you are better at. Some people are good out wide, others closer in some alround pinch is good. The blob and 2 45s are very different lifts. I don't know if you can really compare the 2.
