Jedd Johnson Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here is my submission. Roughly 128.5 non-calibrated. Google says 128.5 lbs is 58.2866 kilos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nice lift there Jedd. You put some caled/rated blobs and stuff on that scale to see how accurate it is. Those scales seem to be good to within the closest half pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have point cal'd it for comps, but I didn't bother with that process for this challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stCoC Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Whew, glad I looked a bit farther into the post.....I thought he was writing about one handed! Really super test and great numbers for a classic upper body strength builder! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The only Globe type DB I have is my Gracie bell at 146# - I tried but not much happened . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can mimic the movement with a box - shaped object, maybe a tool box. Won't be exactly the same, but replicated the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I imagine this taxes your entire upper body and grip significantly. Very nice lift jedd, race to inch with david now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There's tension across the entire upper body, yes. A race to the Inch with David? We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not quite the same thing, but I used to do curls kind of like this with these big rocks I found in the creek. I have a 105-ish rock that puts some pretty good torque on the wrists. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Right, not quite the same, but similar idea. You get the same broad recruitment across the torso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 105-ish rock that puts some pretty good torque on the wrists. Haha That's a big rock! I wanted to sort of get in on it too, so I loaded up my IronMaster dumbbell. I threw on 75 just to see if it would work. I'll try going for weight later. Definitely not the same thing, but it at least makes me feel like part of the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a few other big ones, but that's the biggest. Funny story, I wanted a big rock for carrying around, I was hoping for something at least 150lbs, and found that one, and of course because of the size of It I really couldn't properly guess the weight so I just thought it was like 160 or something.. When I actually got to weigh it and saw it is 105, I was like "damn, too light. Well maybe I can use it for curls and presses." haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'd curl it, press it over head, and throw it, then pick it up and do it again, all the way down to the back of my yard and back up to the house. Good way to wear your ass out. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 First aim will be doing the 67k dumbbell. Rob Russell has one, so when I'm ready I'll get him to bring it to me. There's tension across the entire upper body, yes. A race to the Inch with David? We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
