unequipped Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 friends, how is Your ratio between Apollons-Axle-Deadlift and a regular Deadlift with an one-inch-bar ? (using the same technique) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Not much difference with a mixed grip, back-strength is the limiting factor here. With DO grip I can get maybe 40 kilos more with a regular bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcob Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Regular Deadlift 200-210 maximum and Appolon's Axle 143 max. For me The Appolon's Axle is about 70% of my regular DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcob Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Oops, sorry I see now using the same technique; than it is 170 regular and 143 AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 how is Your ratio between Apollons-Axle-Deadlift and a regular Deadlift with an one-inch-bar ? Just to nitpick, if you're using a 1" bar, you're using a women's weightlifting bar (25 mm). A men's weightlifting bar is 28 mm and a powerlifting bar 29 mm.

Scott Styles Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 218lbs AA vs. 270lbs DO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Never tried the axle, but DO w/ 1in bar, I can pull 300 for about 5-6 reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonA Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I hi 365 on the regular bar last week, and just missed 340 with the axel at the Arizona Grip comp, think I finished with 315. Once I get my hip flexablilty fixed up, I am good for well of 400 on the regular bar.. -B Edited June 2, 2008 by BrandonA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knyaz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 370 vs 290 or so on the Applons Axle last time I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Because the 2" bar has almost no spring and forces the bar out further from your center of gravity it's definitely not ideal. The non-rotating sleeves are also a factor. I pull roughly 5% to 10% less on the axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 370 vs 290 or so on the Applons Axle last time I tried I've been working out in the gym much longer than I have been working grip (4 years vs 3.5 months). What is an appolon's axle deadlift? With a regular deadlift, I can get 455 atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
