jpmmkrahling Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey guys, those of you that are big hub grippers. what are the measurements of your favorite hub. I'm comparing them to some I have. How deep, how wide, etc. Many thanks. Thge only hub i have that is worth trying for me (i can not get it yet) is an old International deep dish. The hub is 3-1/4" dia and 1" deep, with 3 spokes (if that matters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubthewonderscot Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks Mike! Anyone have one that is deeper or is this the average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGoodfellow Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The old Yorks Jedd has are tough. If I'm remembering correctly, I'd say they're deeper than 1". Jedd or Eaton (I'm pretty sure he has a few also) would have to confirm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Whether it's angled or not is almost as important as depth. The angled surface on the old fat Yorks is what makes them hard, otherwise they'd be easy due to the depth. My standard barbell 45 is a beast. It's wide and shallow and the paint isn't horrible but it's not grippy either. I think Nick or Stew or maybe both has hubbed one like it but other than that I've never seen anyone even break it off the ground, although I'm sure there are few more out there that could.

Josh - For whatever strange reason - I can sometimes do Stew's wide shallow one and usually miss the deep dish ones - go figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done my old deep dish York with an additional 11 for sure and maybe 15# (I'd have to check my log) and I still can't break my standard barbell 45.

cemery Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I cannot lift a standard barbell 45 either, but i have added some weight on a deep dish plate. I have alot of respect for those that can lift a shallow wide hub, it's really tough. Dub, I will take a measurment tonight and get back to this thread.

Before my tendonitis I was picking up 43# on a 35 standard plus weight. 3 1/2in hub, shallow, all the way up to lock out. So I am slowly getting somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Hey Weldon, I measured tonight. 3 3/8" wide , 7/8" tall. Edited May 16, 2009 by cemery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I have 2 sets of plates I use for hub lifting.The first set is a pair of Hampton 45lb.plates the hub on those is 3"x1 1/4" with a slight taper,These are nice hub plates.The other set is a pair of fitness gear 45lb.plates they are 3.5"x1" also with a slight taper,these are a little harder then the Hamptons..Both sets of these plates have 4 spokes,I have found the 3 spoke variety is harder to lift due to finger placement.I have been looking for a 3 spoke plate but have not located 1 yet,any body got any leads on 3 spoke style 45's??

I have not ried a four spoke plate, but wondered if there much difference. I got my plate at Sports authority. They have no brand name markings on them. I bet if you have a sports authority near you they might have one. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
