2x25kg Pinch

[egg_uk]

does anyone know if this has been done yet, as quite a lot of people are managing the 2x20kg/44lb now.

[CoC#3]

To the best of my knowledge 2 25kg plates have not been lifted.

[Martin_Arildsson]

I think Dickey Oscarsson did it when he visited Arne's gym.

Isn't width of the plates the big problem?

There's a pic of a guy doing it in the gallery somewhere

yep. it was agreed that wasn't a good lift though - plates were not both smooth sides out and they were clearly wedged against the lifters leg.

Jorgen Holm or something like that?

I bet he could do it, he also had some pictures of rafter chins I think. And what do you mean the plates were not both smooth sides out? I thought they were, but the wedging against the leg made it "not count"...

They were smooth side out and it wasn't "wedged" more like just barely touching. Went out and tried with 35's and the only way it made much of a difference was if you angled the plates

I don't understand why they did not take a video. A photo is not appropriate to show such a great feat!

On the 26th of August 2006 he pinched 79,5kg twohanded on the Europinch setup and on 29th of september 2006 he pinched 2x25kg plates onehanded. That's an awesome progress IMO!

Unbelievable!

Martin said there isn't a huge carry over between 2HP and 1HP. When he got the WR on 2HP lifting 2 44s wasn't easy for him (1HP). But I am sure he can lift it easily because I saw his video lifting it like nothing.

Maybe Chad have a chance of lifting 2 25s KG since he lifted 3 33s LB after 12 hours of competing.

I think that the carryover is from person to person. I've noticed that when I do 2HP that my 1HP (when I can get a comfortable setup) goes up. It's something that you've got to practice as well..

Also that picture is questionable it looks like his shin is pushing against his thumb, it's a great lift none the less but shouldn't be a record

[OldGuy]

Those plates do not look like they weigh 55lbs each. Not the plates pictured by themselves, which are huge, but the plates being lifted. Those are small and narrow.

Must admit I questioned the plates also.

Don't really remember if I said that. Maybe I did!

I really suck at 1hp since I've only trained 2hp. There isn't any contest coming my way this year, so I think I'll try some 1hp these coming months!

I guess one hand pinch might have better carry over to two hand pinch, then what 2hp has to 1hp. What do you guys think about that?

[CoC#3]

IMO 1hp has carryover to 2hp. I worked up to pulling 2 20kg plates and managed 80.25kg first time i tried euro 2hp. I chose to set the euro pinch to 65mm as this was the same width as the 20kg plates i trained with. I can do exactly twice on 2hp than what i can 1hp. 1 hp wasn't all i did when training for this contest i also did a bit of 2hp with a wooden block to get some feel for it. I don't feel the wooden bloack helped, as i worked up to 95kg on this and 85kg on the euro pinch (3rd attempt) just slipepd and tored my thumbs up.

post #344 You didn't say there isn't a huge carry over but you said it's a big difference between one and two hand pinch. So I assumed it's the same.

[Jörgen Holm]

This onehandpinch 2 25kg was done in jun 2006 i think, but i have just borrowed some 25kgs(55ib)Eleikoplates! So me and Dickey try to attempt it again! This time i am gonna let someone take a video on it!

Good luck! Would be cool to see a video of Dickey too!

Jörgen, how about today the progress in 2*25kg onehand platepinchlift? I´m intersted about that, because I have a goal to lift 2*25kg Leoko plates. First I try to lift 20/25kgs plate. My best is now Leoko 2*20kg +3kgs extraweight, full lift and lock. 2*20+5kgs I have got some air.

[kilkkinen]

Chad, have you tried 2*25kgs or 2*55lbs?

[jad]

I thought there was a pic on here somewhere of Dickey pinching two FAT plates that were 25kg?? That guy has a MONSTER pinch.

[Florian Kellersmann]

Chad, have you tried 2*25kgs or 2*55lbs?

He tried to lift 2x25kg plates in my dungeon a few days after MGC 2007. Nothing happend, but 100% in shape, he may have a chance to lift it. He was able to do a very nice double Blob and Blob-Inch farmers walk that day.

[Griparn]

Found some intresting pics and videos from a gripcontest here in Sweden.

Good pinching and rolling thunder lifts!

[kilkkinen]

Great pics and videos! Florian, I agree with you. I definately belive that person who can lift 3*15kgs can lift also 2*25kgs! So, Chad will do it, if he like to do it:) Of course the width of plates or object mean a lot. If I remember right, Chad have said, that his wide pinch is massively better, than thin pinching.
