jwils Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) I've been training the two finger deadlift (middle on each hand) for a little while now and have been liking it quite a bit - after seeing a video on Adam's site with some sick tearing and one finger lifting I got inspired to give this a go on a hommade contraption...

Ouch!!! Great job! Be careful with the single finger lifts. Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwils Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks Joe! I've heard from a couple people now to watch myself on the "finger" lifts, I'm going to keep doing them, but will take extra care to not try too much too fast.

Bob Lipinski Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This was in the medley at the last MGC. I forgot how much weight it was. I think Josh Dale worked up to 300 pounds or so after the contest- I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volko Krull Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Great lifts here ! Damn - 325 is HUGE I wonder how the oldtimers could handle those enormous poundages if the claims are true. 661 lbs .......... Frank Philipp Brumbach 650 lbs .......... G.W. Rolandow 560 lbs .......... Warren Lincoln Travis Pulled with middle finger. Did they use a hook that took the pure tensile strength of the finger more into action than the contraction strength of the lower arm ?

Did they use a hook that took the pure tensile strength of the finger more into action than the contraction strength of the lower arm ? I have a lot of footage of Stanless Steel pulling well over 650 with his middle finger. His best ever pull was 711lbs. Thats with one finger. How does a man squat 1,000lbs? How does a man run a mile in under 4 minutes? He trains his tail off and never stops believing. that is how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volko Krull Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 You're right Adam, I agree, but everything over 500 is a hell of a weight to be sustained by one finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew2 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Damn - 325 is HUGE, anyone else pull over 300 after the comp? Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncBQ0wIQiHM Ya you see me wussing out on it Josh and I worked are way up I stopped at 275 because ....well it HURT LIKE HELL! I think Josh could of done more but I do rember him saying that was a little painful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'll just add that a lot of it has to do with your set-up. I'm nowhere near 325 on my carabiner with tape for padding that's hooked to an IM loading pin. I'd like to see the set-up some of these guys in the 500-700# range are using.

stew2 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If they're using a carabiner with a little tape much better men than I ( thats not hard to beat though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've done 160 with my set up and I felt like I had a bit more in the tank but after 5-6 lifts working up to that my finger started to hurt and cramp I'm just using a piece of leather over a loading pin from FBBC, feels pretty decent but I haven't tried much else.

Take a large carabiner, one that is wide so your index and ring fingers have to sit on top of it, not hugging the sides, throw some tape on it, and then hook it to your IM loading pin.

stew2 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Nice pull Adam! how big around is that ring and do you use any tape or padding on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwils Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just ordered an FBBC loading pin/finger lift that I'm gonna use to train this lift - my other set up could vary a bit each use at least with the "Double Bastard" I'll have consistency as I watch my numbers go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh that would be a very different pull, very tough no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTGlass Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Nice pull Adam! how big around is that ring and do you use any tape or padding on it? Stew It is a pretty tight fit with a piece of thin athletic tape around it (friction not padding) I have to jam my finger in pretty good, and it can be slightly difficult to remove after the pull because the finger swells right after the pull.
