bubba29 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) right now, my DO axle max is 303 and olympic bar mixed grip is 405. so my DO axle is about 25% less. how does yours compare? closer, farther off? i imagine as my hands get stronger the gap will get smaller but not sure cause i am kinda new to all this. thx in advance for feedback, i am curious.

daniel reinard Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hmm. prob best to compare to DO oly bar grip. My best DO axle was 355 to full lockout and down signal. My best deadlift mixed grip is 500. I probably could have DO gripped it. I've DO gripped 470 without trouble. So I guess to answer the question 71%, or 29% lower on the axle. But that's hard to compare considering my deadlift is weaker than my grip. I'm sure the mixed grip is good for 600 so maybe then the numbers would be 59%, or 41% lower. IMO it's easier to be a 500 deadlifter than a 400 axle lifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
