BigJan85 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Yesterday I was doing some different lifts with a 3" bar and decided to do some power cleans. Eventually I put up 155 and it was pretty dang hard I must admit. The thing is, I have no frame of reference to know if this is a good lift or not. Anybody know anything about it? Thanks Quote 2011 Goals: Deadlift 600 OH DL 315 on Oly Bar Close #3.5 on regular basis Pinch 225 on euro DO DL 415 on axle Get flexible

Thanks A 155 clean on a 3" bar is good. many would be unable to deadlift it DO. Use caution with it, dont overstrain your thumb Quote MM4. COC. Hexbastard in every way. Red Nail Roster.
nickr104 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Adam is right be careful with the thumb. The 3" size can push it a little to much. Quote Nick RosendaulI am a Upser"I slept with John Eaton and lived to tell about it!"
BigJan85 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 Alright, thanks guys. So would you recommend not doing this lift at all anymore or just using it sparingly?

nickr104 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 It's a good lift just listen to your hands. I have used a 3" bar and wrist roller and that's what I ran into. They all have a place in training. Quote Nick RosendaulI am a Upser"I slept with John Eaton and lived to tell about it!"

naturalstrength Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I tried 100 pounds on a 3 1/2 inch thickbar at the gym once. Cleaned it and half-way through the movement it FLEW out of my hands and landed 10 feet in front of me. Good thing I didn't knock-out any gym patrons during my stupidity Quote -Carl Ansara http://www.youtube.com/user/naturalstrength1

Good thing I didn't knock-out any gym patrons during my stupidity haha yeahh I was kinda worried about that happening but luckily at my gym there is a little sectioned off area for deadlift and all that so there was no real danger of it hurting anyone.
