Deadlifter Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I used my fingertips stretched out all the way, so claw grip I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazerboy Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Nice. I just started hub training. I've almost got the 25 down. : - p How'd you train for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlifter Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Nice. I just started hub training. I've almost got the 25 down. : - pHow'd you train for it? Honestly dude I could have done it much sooner. I did a 35 in June 2006. But then I lost it for a while, and had to rebuild back up. The past 2-3 months I have been really consistent with my pinch training and thats what is key. Along with other strongman training I would train pinch and sledge levering after my workouts. Usually pinching once a week and sledge once a week. Now I'm pinching twice a week , one day static holds and one more max effort. I think the key to increasing strength with plate pinching is static holds. I would do static holds of 30 seconds+ with like 4 standard 10 pound plates and farmers walk with 25 hubs. I did that for about two months and then I started integrating more hub training, doing static holds with 25's. Today I just felt great and I was shocked that I managed to high pull a 45 with ease. But I am no expert on grip, I just lift hubs for the hell of it. I think Jedd and some other people might be more knowledgeable on the subject.

GatorGrip Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Great pull deadlifter , In fact for me that is the highest hub pinch I have ever seen. You have really reached a significant milestone in the grip game. Oh was that an Ivanko Olympic plate? If not what brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlifter Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Hey, thanks a lot guys. It was a hampton 45. I think these plates are actually fairly difficult because of the paint on the hub which I didn't sand off.
