Deadlifter Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Which implement is more difficult to use typically? How much would I have to do on a 2.5 inch DB in order to lift the Inch Dumbbell? Any estimates? The 2.5 inch dumbbell which I have is painted and has no knurling, FYI. Edited April 16, 2007 by Deadlifter Quote

Autolupus Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 20-40lbs in my experience Thought "The Inch" weighed 172lb, with a short handle, making it difficult to get a good grip? Quote Mike Mackenzie. Luceo non uro.
Deadlifter Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 20-40lbs in my experience Does that mean I'd have to do 150 lbs on the 2.5 inch DB, or 190 lbs? Does a horizontal or vertical (neutral) grip matter when training the lift? Quote
Darco Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Mobster meant ~ 192 - 212 in his experience, and his experience on the matter is rather good. Quote "What I do tests my endurance. Anybody can lift a car but it's how long can you keep it raised and endure the pain" -Hugo Girard Ezekiel 23:20

CoC#3 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 How about with a three inch diameter handle dumbbell? I have played with a 3'' dumbell. Around the time i was pulling an 85kg rolling thunder i could lift 65kg on a 3'' handle. Quote real name: Sam Solomi
