Recommended Posts

hey everyone. i just started training on v-bar,had my 3rd session yesterday, i pulled 164 on the large v-bar and 187 on the 1 inch v-bar. i am not a big guy at 155lbs. 5'6". are these weights respectable?i have set a goal for 225lbs. i know its early in the training to really worry about it,i was just wondering how is everyone else training v-bar doing? and also i think this v-bar is almost as addictive as the grippers!!!

V bar is definately as addictive as grippers, plus the training carries over to the Grips the weights your pulling are definately respectable keep it that 225 on the 1 " is within close reach for sure

365ish on the Vbar. 290 on a 2 inch Vbar (actually was a loading pin). Vbar is addicting. Very.

My PB is 231 lbs. with 7 1/2 in. hands at 14 years old. You have some really good #s, those look really similar to mine for my first couple of V Bar workouts. Keep up the good work and you'll be at 225 in no time. Oh and I definitely agree with Matt that V Bar is addicting although it really messes up your hands.

The Vbar is a pain event. The 2" less so. Bigger hands will also cause more damage.

You don't have to get full lockout you have to get 2" off the ground, is that what you meant? Anyway congrats that's a really good number, especially this early in your training with it :mosher

some contests want it pulled to full lockout and set back down under control :ohmy ,and some dont.i attended the tps grip assault as a spectator and thats how they were doing it,plus if you pull it to full lockout you've already got the 2 inchs anyway.thats just the way i train it. thanks for the reply and happy gripping. :happy
