Malice Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ok, this is the official thread for a race to pulling 300 lbs. with a 2" vbar. I don't have a vid yet (will get one this weekend) but my best is 230 lbs. My goal is 3hundo by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timstruse Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks, Russ - I've been looking for a reason to dust off my v-bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Love Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've never tried this lift before but I have a 2" bar to setup. Will give this a go next week when I get back from the Coleman.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I’m in. I have to make a 2" v-bar first so everybody wait until I'm finished (joking! ). I know that they are 2 feet long. Does it matter if it is that 1.9 OD piping or do you have to get 2.0" hot or cold rolled steel. I looked into it and it is a big price difference.

Hey Rich- not sure if this race is FBBC v-bars only, or anything goes. Russ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its FBBC only then let me know Russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goezdd Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 NOW I know why Russ was texting me Rich if you are ever down south (Chandler not Tucson)you can come over and try the FBBC one Russ and I are using to get the feel. We are trying to start working grip regularly on Saturdays if you feel like a drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malice Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Feel free to critique my form/technique or lack of. I'm still just grabbing and pulling without any real idea of technique. I've seen a few other vids but you can't really pick up fine points that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Dang. I didn’t know you guys were doing it with one hand. I built a Vbar but haven’t done much with it because I don’t own a lot of Olympic weights. Ill try it out soon (just went to sears and got two 45s. I should wait until I have some skin on my fingers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGgrip Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 nice lift, made it look easy. lookin like 300 is in the near future ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Anything goes. There's no trophys (unless I win) or world record claims here so run what ya brung. I'm in, and if I win I demand a trophy. It can be a converted bowling trophy or anything though. Except not some high school DECA trophy. My current best is a 200-ish full lift and I got 210 high enough and lost it at the top.

odin Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 That's a nice lift Bob! Thanks Josh! Still lots of room for improvement. As you know, I'm not to bright re: figuring out technique, but I feel like I am wired well for this lift. Very nice pulls Bob!! Thanks Russ! I will improve due to the device seasoning even if I don't try this lift regularly, I'm sure. Right now, it's glassy in texture and barely takes chalk.
