cookieinthewoods Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi Everyone, I currently train at a commercial gym and a newcomer to the grip world. I'm doing some pinch lifts in one of my grip workouts but the plates the gym have are the rubberised octagonal type that have a small lip that runs on the edge of the plate. Obviously this provides an advantage when pinching, so would this become a hindrance at a later date? Any advice on the matter? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Get some real plates to pinch. I started with a set of 25's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankD Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Like Wannagrip said, get real plates. With the 25's you can always add more weight when you are ready using a string or a pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone Wolf Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Don't forget to get some 10 lb. plates too try going to thrift stores yard sales . When looking for plates keep in mind you might also want try hub lifting look plate with a straight hub . I was lucky to find a set oet of 25's,35's and 45's all the same brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
