astrojetred Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Is this a legit lift? Is it anything special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nice lift. It'd be better without your thumb in the number though so all didgets are on slick surface. Good lift though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrojetred Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 I can get it about a half inch off the ground with all slick surface. Hopefully, I'll get it up, soon. I can handle that 30lb with only 3 fingers. How does this all translate to the blob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The blob has tapered sides so it's quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrojetred Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) For real. I've notice that it does allow more surface area. What about this? Edited January 21, 2010 by Puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Even with your thumb on the number side, it's still really hard, so good lift. I did it back in May with no fingers on the number side... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQW4V7YgwKA ...but the funny thing is, I've yet to repeat that.

astrojetred Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah? Thanks, everyone. I'm going to trade it, after I can pinch it... I need a 70+lb dumbbell for static curling. Just can't afford to have both, these days. I'll trade it now, if anyone is close and is willing, I guess. Sorry for posting about a trade in the wrong forum :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcpower66 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Did one last night after deadlifting. Is it just me or does grip strength peak after doing deadlifts? Brent C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrojetred Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Good lift, man! I remember reading a grip article, when I first started. The person being interview said, when asked what he could change now that he's where he is, is that he should have trained his pinch grip more. Should have listened, haha. It lost way to aw training. Only did gripper work. I def do pinch, now. Just dumbbells, for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcpower66 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Narrow pinching is weak for me, so I have to spend more time doing that. I made a euro, and I do plate pinches every workout. I think it is my thumb that needs the most work. Brent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
