Two 45s Pinched...with Two Fingers

The only pics of this feat I remember seeing (and being in awe of) are Juha Harju, Tommy Heslep and Scott Clayton. I thought David Horne had a video up of him doing it, but couldn't find it. I tried it a couple times in the past, but it felt impossible, until now. It feels like there is some injury risk in the palm with this lift, so use caution. Apologies for the pic/video quality, my video camera died and had to use a webcam for recording.

Thanks James! Also, I believe Richard Sorin has a picture of him doing this feat on the wall at Sorinex.

You really deserv to be in the grip well brother!

Im so impressed by your performance I cant even begin to describe it!

Im training to lift 2x45 with one hand and that too seems impossible, especially on thin plates like eleiko steel plates.

This was not done in the rain and therefore is not impressive.

JUST KIDDING haha. Bob, amazing. Congratulations on being one of very few men to do this!

Bob as I menttioned the picture of my son bert at an early college age and me was done around 1991-1992. I was in good pinch and gripper form at the time and it was not super hard. Take note as we ll I think you have seen th picture in Milo and on our gym walls of a two finger and thumb lift of 6 Olympic 10lb plates along with an added magnet 1.25 lbs. I was in good shape then after cancer and was about 285 bodyweight. I tried 710s a few time with my whole hand and did think it possible just the width was to greaet for my 7 7/8" hand. I think you cand find the back to back single rep two fingered power snatches of a York Blob on video as well on Youtube. In the day my strongest grip component was my first two fingers on my right hand.

Bob has always been a welcome ,strong addition to our facility ever every time he has visited us. Hid first visit on a Long ago Summerstrong day celebration was his first mastering of the Original Fat man blob. Tons of chalk and hours of trying did it. Bob IS the real deal. His quiet ways and workman like attitude have always been a pleasure to watch.
