Guest StrongerthanArne Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Very impressive. Maybe you should consider coming to Sweden in March when David and Elizabeth are going to compete in the Löddeköpinge Grip Challenge. One of the events is the Rolling Thunder.

Roark Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Steve offers the following regarding the lift: Performed Aug 9, 2002 at a bodyweight of 246 pounds in Manchester, England at a gym called 'Flex and Tone' (so appropriate for Steve, don't you think ) Witnesses were the gym owner, Mike, and the photographer Darren Sherlock of Manchester, Keith Gallick of Belfast, and Doug Taylor of Arlington, Texas. Probably some other onlookers took a notice also, but these men can verify the feat. Lest someone accuse me of doubting Steve, which I do not, all feats at this level should have such documentation, so that 20 years from now some researcher has steps to retrace. How I wish we had such about Inch. Anyway, Steve, congratulations, and please send us the names of the witnesses who will verify that RT 300 pounds when you reach it, and reach it you will! see Steve's correction below, feat was Aug 9, 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Yes the gang were together for darren's wedding the day after (sorry Roark feat performed on Friday 9th, wedding on 10th - I was tired yesterday - another late night celebrating). We have been teasing Darren about his somewhat less than hardcore gym name for ages. We arrived at about 6.15pm and the lift was done shortly after. Keith Gallick, whio has never tried it bebore did a good 100 kilos at 258 pounds bwt. When I have allowed others a go 60-80 kilos has been good. I have done 123 kilos plus handle etc which adds a pound and of note (re formulas etc) is the lift was 30 pounds over bodyweight. Most of the big RT lifts have been done by 270-300 lbs bodyweight lifters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest baldy Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Super lift, Steve! Too bad for you heavy RT lifts don't do anything to improve your looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Hmm baldy - do we have a picture of your handsome viasge anywhere...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik_F Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Very impressive! Does anybody know how large Steve Gardners hands are? They look pretty big at that picture, it looks as if he can get his hand completely around the handle. By the way, how many here have the rolling thunder and practise on it? I got mine a couple of weeks ago, my best result so far is 72.5 kg in weights. Do you do singles? holds? reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I got a rolling thunder in April and practice about once a week on it. At first i just went for max weight, but have since switched to doing about three sets of ten reps. I have gotten 165 pounds right and 147 left. I noticed in the picture and a few other of RT lifts that the lifter used and underhand grip as opposed to an overhand which is the style i have used. Does anyone find that one is much better than the other. Anyone have some good tips for Rt training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Mines an overhand grip. An underhand grip is where the hands form a 'hook' shape. Randall doesn't recommend this as he thinks with 100kilos plus it could roll out of your grasp and onto your toes. Plus its more of a test. Hands: yes mine are biggish (I take a size 10 glove) but they look pretty I can almost touch my middle finger to my thumb when wrapped around the handle. I do very low reps and train on it once a week but as has been said elsewhere am good at thick handled stuff. Reps/sets/holds etc: here's my typical w/out. One rep with 80 kilos, one rep with 100 kilos and one max rep. No specific warm ups or assistance work. I do these prior to the partial deadlifts and after a 3 min bike and 2 min whole body stretch session. Holds: only if I feel I 'just' got a weight and was about to drop it. For example in the picture I looked up at the camera after the shot was taken and was yelling 'y-e-a-h!!' for a few seconds. When I did the 123 kilo plus lift I barely lifted it up and had to put it down pretty quick. Now wheres the picture of Baldy...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest O1d Dude Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Congrats on the big time lift, Steve! BTW, Baldy was a haberdasher in a past life...hence the comment. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
