Fairbar Data List

[MalachiMcMullen]

There will need to be a few standards here or the data and resulting conclusion will not be true to life.

ONE HANDED LIFTS. They can be on an axle, on a loadable DB or something similar, but do not post mix DB's and axles. You can lift more weight on an axle with one hand than you can on a DB of the same dia. Try to have a nice jump in bar diameter. For clarity, "nice" as used in the previous sentence DOES NOT MEAN A LARGE JUMP. I mean don't lift on an axle that is 2.123 and then on a DB that is 2.158. That will turn into a pain the ass for me and I'll throw out the data.

DO NOT POST LIFTS IF YOU ONLY HAVE 1 BAR TO LIFT ON. You must post a lift done on two different dia. bars and try to keep the thicknesses as close as possible. 1.9", 2.0", 2 1/8", 2 1/4", 2 3/8", 2 1/2" are the preferred bars.

If you lift on metric bars, keep the measurements metric, please don't convert them for me.

A "lift" is just a training lift lockout. If you say you locked it out, good enough. This is not a challenge thread, but please be honest. If you don't want those you may be competing against in a grip comp soon knowing what #'s your pulling, then post the difference in weight from lift to lift and leave the weights out. Or just PM the weights to me(since I'm no challenge to anyone in a grip comp ).

IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT POST LIFTS DONE ON BOTH AN AXLE AND A DB HANDLE FOR COMPARISON. THE LIFTS ARE DIFFERENT AND THEY WILL SCREW UP THE DATA POOL.

Post ONLY your lifts and the bars lifted on(or the difference in weight and the bars you lifted on) and your standard wrist-middle fingertip hand measurement and your middle fingertip to thumb tip(when hand is spread out). Nothing else. Questions should go to Climber's thread about the fairbar concept and I'll answer them there.
