Grip_noob Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I been searching the board and the Internet, but I haven't been able to find a lot of information about records in two-handed pinch with loose plates. It seems that people only do one-handed loose plate pinch or two-handed pinch on an apparatus. Right now I don't have access to an apparatus and it would be nice to have something to strive for and work towards, so what would be considered good in a two-handed loose plate pinch?

DanCottle Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I would say 3 45 plates together is pretty decent im still working on that myself. Also all you need for 2 hp is a footlong section of metal pipe or pvc with an outer diameter of less than 2". Stick 2 45s together and then add weight to it on the pipe Edited March 23, 2011 by DanCottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think I will stay with the loose plate pinch for now until I have worked myself up to a least 3x20kg and preferable 3x25kg. Thank you for the quick answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCottle Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 No prob. The wide pinch is a lot harder by the way I can do around 120 with the 3 plates width but around 165 with 2 plates width. 1 foot of metal plumbing pipe will run you around 6 bucks- pvc even cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I could get a small piece of 50mm PVC pipe for under 10$ though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Frankly, I don't think it needs to even be PVC pipe - you could use a chair leg, a rolling pin etc if that's all you can get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
