Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I know this is the apples and oranges thing , but today I did some one hand deadlifts with a plate loaded dumbbell. Handle diameter is 2 1/8". If anyone has used this size handle and has done the INCH, How do they compare ? Can you recall how much wieght you where doing on the 2 1/8 when you where able to lift the INCH ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I was wrong .The handels are 2 1/4". Not 2 1/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersqueeze Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Mobster, what kind of answer is that? Mike M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdwler Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I can't answer your question completely. It is somewhat dependent on hand size. For me, when the bar gets over about 1 7/8", even very small increases are noticeable. If your talking over 1/2" difference, the increase in level of difficulty is huge.
