odin Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 As a general question who out there can do 3-45s with no bar in the center cleanly with 2 hands?????I would suspect very few. RS I have done 3x20kg with no bar and two hands, but it wasn't easy. I'm sure the guys that can pinch 3x25 with one hand can do 3x45 with two hands. Florian, I guess you're withholding the video haha, didn't find this until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdigriz Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 how wide please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 how wide please? I'll let you know 12 hours after this post, when I get home from work and have a chance to measure them. They are the Yorks made about 30 years ago with the flat, very wide hub that I think only perhaps Wade and the Rosendaul brothers? have successfully hublifted. Robert (lonewolf) has a picture in the gallery of the same style of 45s if anyone else feels compelled to take a measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cemery Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Odin, I just attempted this feat. . . . . and it was a big no - go for me. Very tough. Even more impressive after I tried it myself. You are da man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 how wide please? 3.8 inches 96.49 mm with a digital micrometer. Odin, I just attempted this feat. . . . . and it was a big no - go for me. Very tough. Even more impressive after I tried it myself. You are da man. Thanks Casey! I appreciate you giving it a shot. I was surprised by how hard it was when I first tried it last fall.That was awesome Bob I can t wait to see how you do at GGC with the two hands pinch!!! See you next week looking forward to it!!! Brendan Thanks Brendan, I'm really not sure what to expect in that event. I still haven't learned how to 2HP the way David Horne suggests in his DVD and think I will improve over the years in the event with technique as well as strength.

acorn Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Great pinch Bob! Rex and I tried that the other night and we were both able to get it. Only challenge was the center plate sticking up 1" above the outer 2. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only challenge was the center plate sticking up 1" above the outer 2.- Aaron BTW, the annual Eaton Birthday Lift must be done on video and in pajamas or boxers (some kind of lounging-around clothes) to count. Better luck next time fellas. Seriously though nice work, I wouldn't expect any less from you guys. Chris and Nick also reported success. I thought it was a fun lift with a similar feel to 3x25. I couldn't get it when I first tried it last fall (the York 25s sure fit together a lot more nicely and tightly than the York 45s). It might be a good one to work on with some extra weight added as well. I'll have to think of something else for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Great lifting Bob! We did these together a few weeks ago remember? Its a tough lift for sure! Yes sir! We need to get your lift on video next time Robert. See, you can do wide pinch. I think you'll surprise a few people at Gripmas, especially on the pinch.

1stCoC Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The story about Kaz doing 3 45s one handed made him cringe and laugh out loud saying " not in this life" . I would like to see 3 loose old York deep dish 45 done without a center pipe ( loosed) two handed. That would be epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
