Do Deadlift With Fat Gripz

[Six Barrel Shotgun]

I haven't got a pair of Fat Gripz yet, but I will definitely get me a pair sooner or later.

I think it would be good to imagine myself lifting a good number with them (for some kind of mental preparation) in DO deadlift, since its that exercise im most keen to be training with them.

So Im just asking you, what do you consider a good lift with Fat Gripz in DO deadlift? I'm mostly interested in number for Fat Gripz since it those I wanna have.

IF its a 2" bar then i think it depends on your bodyweight and other things but i think 350plus is solid and apparently world class is over 460 or so

I lift about 80% of my 2" DO deadlift with the fat gripz.

are fat gripz revolving then?

[Scott Styles]

That's a good point. While the Fat Gripz fit over the bar and do not revolve, I am doing my deadlifts on an oly bar with needle bearings. It's possible on a cheap bar that doesn't rotate well, performance relative to an axle deadlift might be a little worse than what I am getting.

The fat gripz give a 2.25" diameter grip instead of 2" and are a little slicker than the painted steel of my axle. I think that accounts for the lower weight.

Thanks for replies guys. Really helpfull.

I think anything over 160kg is good standard lifting with anything over 180kg being world class.
