JeffPeterson Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I'm trying to prepare myself for the US Championships and wondering how much weight some of these guys will do on certain lifts? I have absolutely no idea what people are capable of for three lifts. The ring/pinky deadlift, double over apollons axle and the two hand pinch. All are for a max. Would someone kindly tell me what are really good #s and what are respectable numbers to get on these lifts. Right now I have nothing to shoot for. Anyone here going? Really appreciate anyones feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Check Jim Wylie's website. It contains all the UK records. Also check usawa.com for american records. I think that AA deadlift over 400 would be great and 180 2 hand pinch is very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Jeff, Are you training on those lifts now? And if so.... what are the weights you are using? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 For the double pinch I got 153lbs and held it for about 15secs. For the ring/pinky I use old socks for loops and got 275lbs. Yesterday I paid seven bucks to train at a gym with a bar a little thicker than two inches and after much grip work tried the double over deadlift, only got a little over three hundred though. I have only tried these once so hopefully with practise I will improve quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
