James Fuller Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) On the way down from Hallowell, Maine to Jedd Johnson's Grip Hogs Day meet I stopped in Worcester, Mass and Bradford,RI to pick up some lipless 100lb plates. One pair is Dan Lurie and the other is York. I picked these AFTER competing. I had never been able to pick the Yorks before so, picking up BOTH at the same time after competing was a nice surprise. I plan on doing Farmer's Walks with these. Thanks to Luke Raymond for filming. Thanks to him and Jedd for the encouragement...BROTHRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

JHenze646 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There is something exciting about a new grip toy that makes it instantly lighter. Great lifts. I will be looking forward to videos of the farmers walks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Fuller Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Those look really tough, especially the yorks, nice! Thanks Tom!! I don't know which is harder though I can say where you grip the Luries are only about 1.25" thick!! That's a damn thin 100lb plate!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be cool to use these as part of a Farmer's Walk medley in a meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
