Emsquared Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Just curious as I am nearing the 200lbs mark on the Rolling Thunder, what can everyone else on here do that works out with the RT, and is 200lbs a good feat?? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Currently I am doing 225 235 on the RT. This is after 2 years. I only do it every 2 or 3 weeks these days. I have done more than this in the past. I would say that 200 is good. What is your technique? Mine is to squeeze as hard as I can and lift with legs and not pull up with the arm.

jimwylie1 Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 200 is a good number Matt . Do you use chalk? Oldguy, try an inch replica. I have a feeling that you would fair well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 Old Guy, I do squeez as hard as I can with my hand and stand up using legs. Jim Wylie, I use very little if any chalk at all when doing the RT, just a little to coat the palms of my hand I have been working on this once a week for the last year, but lately I have been doing it 2 times a week seems to being going good for now, still moving up at approx. 2 1/2 lbs a week Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Jim, thickbar is what I am best at. I am mediocre at pinching, and so so with the grippers. In the next few days I will have my Inch loadable so that the plates cannot move. Then I will see how it goes. Unfortunately I do not have the use of an Inch replica.

Emsquared Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 I also should have my Inch adjustable bar arriving soon, so I can start to practice on that, and in a few weeks will have an Inch Replica, it may be a large paper weight for now but soon I hope to lift it Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
