Bill Piche Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I was discussing this offline with a member and I went to Sorinex and noticed in the pics of people lifting the bell, all had a "slight" tilt one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody36 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Out of interest, how far do you have to get the bell off the ground in order to have claimed you lifted the "inch"? Because i'm guessing most who could claim to have lifted it, didn't get it past knee height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Ask Joe how Inch changed the challenge after it came off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Just checked Sorinex and noticed 1stCOC himself tilting, Aaron Ausmus & Corey St. Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Because the thumb is 'offset' on the hand. and not directly opposite the middle finger, some tilting may occur. Did those men begin from the tilted position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 This pic of Nathan Holle shows perfect form in an excellent lift of an Inch replica. It demonstrates pure grip strength. The hand is only in contact with the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 This pic of Mobsterone lifting, shows an extreme tilt with as much of the hand and wrist in contact with the globe as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gripster Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Seems like a damn good lift to me. Looks like mostly his thumb and fingers holding bell. GREAT JOB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 (edited) Old guy that bell weighs 195 before weight is added and is 3-4 years old. The suggestion being naturally that a 172 bell cannot be lifted level by me - ha ha - a joke I'm sure. NB: Nathan and I are using the blue tracksuit bottoms of power Edited December 8, 2002 by mobsterone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody36 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 oldguy, so far you've talked the talk,how about putting up a pic of your superior technique for us all to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hey Steve do you put your wrist all over the globe as much as possible when you're lifting 285 on your RT handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Oldguy, I have seen the video photage of the entire 2002 British Grip Championship. Steve outclassed everyone in the thick bar dumbell lift, in perfect style. No tilting whatsoever. Regardless of what you are trying to prove, Steve showed, in competition, that he is extremely strong with thick bar stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hey Steve do you put your wrist all over the globe as much as possible when you're lifting 285 on your RT handle? What globes get used in the Rolling Thunder lift? Or is that what you are inferring? I suespct it is. My RT is 282 and as you hint it doesn't tilt and there is of course a picture showing this. Oldguy cannot do as is asked as he lifts less in perfect form but we haven't actually seen a picture of the lift only of the bell itself. Oldguy?

OldGuy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I am not claiming a superior technique. If it was superior then more could be lifted that way. More can be lifted if you tilt the bell and brace against the globe or inside plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Wanna, I can't find the pics of Big Tony deadlifting the Inch.Could you put up a link?or tell me how to get there?I don't recall much of a tilt in that pic.-may be mistaken...... Thanks I thought Big Tony was going to join the gripboard..they were having some problems getting on(technical/computer glitch or something)any word from him....

HAMMERHEAD Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Fellas- I know if I were to reach down grab the handle and lift the Inch or Mill. I would care less is there was a slight or severe tilt after it broke the ground. You lift it from the ground with one hand on the handle, you own it. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Thanks woodman...That photo is always worth a second look. I've posted this before but in the back ground is 6'8",345lb Charlie Kaptur.Some big boys..... I'm still rooting for Big Tony(sorry mob)to lift the MILLENIUM.He's put a lot of years into lifting and 5 years as a PRO strongman...I'd love to see him get some applause.. . If Tony or John B. are out there...IS TONY GOING TO BE TAKEING ORDERS FOR CHEESECAKES???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody36 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 And as a wise man pointed out to me.....no tilt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mg6680 Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Now I know why they call him "Big Tony" - look at those feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Did anyone notice in the Nathan Holle pic that his lifting hand is braced against his leg? Still an awesome lift!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 My hand gets braced as well. Most of the finish you'll see the elbow rests against the knee. If we were doing a full one-handed deadlift with dumbbell then its allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
