DuTCH Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks for posting this Frank! What's worth mentioning is, that eventually Chad did get the weight right handed, I did it both hands.. So we are tied right handed Edited May 22, 2007 by DuTCH Quote I got a sixth sense that tells me you ain't worth six cents Rise and Fall

The Mac Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Theo seems to place his hand in a very deliberate manner, Chad just seems to grasp it. Quote Chris McCarthy
DuTCH Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Theo seems to place his hand in a very deliberate manner, Chad just seems to grasp it. Yup, I do! As far as stance, dunno, I like my feet to be parallel. But as far as my hand placing, I can't explain, but when I place it I move it around until it 'feels' just right. Going by calousses, it pretty much lies diagonally in my hand.

smitty Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Quick Question: There seems to be a collar slid down over the vbar to lock the weights into place, is that correct? I've never seen that before... Quote -Smitty- www.DIESELCREW.com "Achieving Beyond Potential"
DuTCH Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks Joe! Yup, that is correct, it's to not let the weights be too loose because we were using olympic plates... It does not make any difference though IMO.. Quote I got a sixth sense that tells me you ain't worth six cents Rise and Fall
MalachiMcMullen Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Awesome lifts guys, and great effort Chad! Quote Zach Coulter Goals #1- The Planche

madss Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Quick Question:There seems to be a collar slid down over the vbar to lock the weights into place, is that correct? I've never seen that before... Smitty it like small vbar sleaves. The Id in slightly larger the Vbar and the OD is about the od of a oly bar end. It was nice because all of the weight stayed centered but did not lock the weight down. Quote Scott George

mobsterone Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 A new person to this grip stuff asks:"Why is the bar called a V bar? It looks like an "I" bar to me." A new person, having not bothered searching, might realize that the V stands for 'vertical'. Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ
