Guest Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Managed to successfully pinch 3 x 10kg plates while training yesterday. I’ve attempted it on numerous occasions since seeing the pics of Clayton pinching the 3 x 25lb. I fancied my chances of doing this but I think it was weak thumb strength that was letting me down. David has designed and built a home made pinching device that really recruits the use of the thumb – it really seems to be paying dividends on the thick pinch lifts. Also saw Dave lift a scary weight on the 3 ½” dumbbell (I think he even shocked himself) but I’m sure he doesn’t want this divulging until the day of the grip comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Jim's pinching of the 3 x Weider 10k discs was very easy, in fact he did it many times. I think he could clean them, and I'll try to get him to do this. Yes, the 3 1/2" dumbell lift is going well, probably also aided by training on the pinch apparatus I've built.

Bill Piche Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 David, Do you have a picture of this apparatus? I'm curious as I am sure are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StrongerthanArne Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Very impressive. What's the total width of the three plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Was there a bar through the center of the plates? Either way, an impressive lift but much more so in the absence of a center bar. Nice Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 The total width is 3 7/8". There was no bar through the centre. Bill, I have no picture of the pinch apparatus, but I am doing an article on this for the next issue of Iron Grip. But it's basically a sloping blob.

Guest baldy Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Way to go Jim! Take David's advice and clean them next time you are having a good pinch day, we haven't seen a picture of anyone do that yet. Matter of fact, has anyone here ever cleaned three 10 kilo plates one handed? Ever heard of anyone doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
