Rick Walker Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Who here can handle 5-10s-with the outside ones smooth side out-in the pinch? I have been unsuccessful in this forever-until today. Picked them up in both hands. They really try their hardest to get away from you! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsquared Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Yes I have done 5-10's before I think 7 would be very hard Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Rick, I did 4 - 10's a long time ago, but never tried 5 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Is this to be done with one OR two hands...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 To be done with one hand like pinching a pair of 25's or 35's etc... you are pinching 5 10's with one hand Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Are these ten pound plates Olympic and is anything going through the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffPeterson Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I can get five, it's pretty tough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wells Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I can pinch 5 10s 'with a little help from my friends!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 (edited) Never tried 5. Only have 4 x 5kg plates Can do that though. How wide are 5 of your 10lb plates?? Edited April 3, 2003 by The Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 About 4.5 inches for 5 of mine. But-the width and weight isnt the problem-it is the plates pulling apart at the bottom that sucks! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Because the diameter of the plates is so small, width may well be the problem - getting your fingers down as far you can (to stop the plates pulling apart at the bottom) IS affected by the width across the top (top marks for observation on my part, I know...). Emsquared - I imagine 6 would be hard enough, let alone 7.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
