whitleyd Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 .....do any of you guys do plate curls pinching 2 or more plates together? i was pinching 2 10's & a 5 today & just decided to start curling them. it felt good. i got 3x8 reps with either hand after pinching them for 'bout 45 seconds. the 5 in the middle slipped out on the last rep of the last set. made a cool sound when it hit the floor.

Sybersnott Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Well.... of course it made a cool sound! ??? Any plate landing on your foot WILL make a cool sound! :p And the answer to your question is: YES, that is a newbie question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitleyd Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 so snott, do advise only wearing steel toe shoes when doing this exercise? ??? i am dave, the embarrassed newbie-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Dave, No, actually.... just be careful - add VERY careful when pinch gripping multiple plates, then curling them! They can slip very easy, and even the smallest plates do the biggest damage when landing on your foot/toes. Injuries are NOT fun. Why not just three 10 pound plates together?? They would be more even when you curl them. Still... be careful, o.k.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitleyd Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 i was using 2 standard tens and an olympic five, so the diameter of the plates is very close but the thickness is different. i was pinching and wanted to see how different the 3 felt from a single 25, then the idea to curl just popped into my head. tomorrow i'm planning to use 3 tens. i also thought about standing wide-legged & bent at the waist like a standing concentration curl, to limit the potentional for bruised little piggies. i am dave the safe & clever newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
