Side Bends?

[divided]

Instead of deadlifting when plate pinching, anyone try these http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Obliques/DBSideBend.html

but, while pinching 2 25lbers? It felt great. Better than a dead or static hold in terms of pressure for me right now.

Never tried them pinching, but I use a 1 1/2" handle on a farmer's walk bar I made. Use 125#'s so my obliques and grip get a good workout.

Might have to try them pinch style, but it's not a movement you want to "hurry" if your grip is giving out. Easy to strain your lower back.

It would be easiest to 2 Plate Pinch.

If you can 2-plate pinch enough weight to challenge your obliques then either a) your core needs some work or b ) you are a pinching god, and

I sometimes do sidebends with a tricep blaster bar, in much the same manner as a farmer's bar. More often though, I do the Diesel Sidebends which Rick Walker still refuses to take credit for popularizinig.

lol. no I was focusing on the strain moving to the side would produce on your grip, not actaully using it to work obliques, just a way to add a little more resistance or variety to a plate pinch.
