odin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 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. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stCoC Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
