It's another kind of lever, Rear Lever. It is a common starting point and a good tool to continue using.

You have a lot of levering questions. Spend a little time with:

http://www.farmstrength.com/levertonose.WMV

http://www.farmstrength.com/frontlevering.WMV

It will teach you a lot. Then spend some time with a hammer. Levering comes slowly, be patient. Try holding the hammer is all kinds of ways, forward, backward, out to the side. Work the variety of lever listed on Scott's website.

Spend the time on the hammer, progress slowly, grow into your avatar.

try Farmstrength.com, then click on videos, it's "How to Lever" parts 1 and 2

as for fat dumbells. You don't need special exercises. I seem to recall you had posted somewhere you have 2.5" DBs. A rough starting place. Do some DB deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, shrugs, shoulder raises, overhand curls Those are good starting exercises. I'm very fond of using my 2" dumbells for bent over rows, one arm clean and press and the occasional bench.

The whole point is that you don't do special exercises with dumbell rows, they tax your hands and nerves simply by being and doing what a 1" handle would do. Think of handle size as another variable, like weight. When you bench 185 then move to 225, you don't change the exercise. Same with handles.

That's impressive! I don't know much about levering, but should you be upright? I am curious for my own education. It seems that during the lift, your wrist was actually bent, and the sledge was only parallel with the floor because you were leaning forward. Congrats, though, I couldn't do that. :rock

Yes, i should been upright but its difficult because your wrist suffer a lot, and i dont want to injurt it.

Its difficult to perform it with the max weight you can handle if you are upright but i dont think the sledge was only parallel with the floor because i was leaning forward, if i didnt do any force yes, but i was doing a lottt of strength to perform this feat.

Best wishes
