Evan Raftopoulos Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 thanks guys! it took me 4 weeks of training, goal now is the 50 one which is a lot harder! Bill, this is the vid for time hold that I initially sent asking if such a feat exists here. this is the lift with controlled descend: thank you to everyone who voted! and big thanks to the guys here for the advice on how to train and lift this, especially Jon Vance and Bob Sundin! 1 Quote youtube channel, instagram

Evan Raftopoulos Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Thank you guys! You need a more challenging block homie! Congrats! thanks my man, I have a 50 I got from Cannon which is good for different training methods but I feel it's a big jump to try one hand DL. I might try to find a 45 when I get back from Cyprus. My fingers are not that long which makes blob lifting more challenging for me. But I think with training many things are possible.

odin Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 That's a great feeling when something that has been stuck to the ground can be lifted and held, congratulations on your progress Evan! You can try lifting it with gloves on (or with a leather bending pad over it) or by using different finger combinations. You may find that you're equally strong or even stronger by using the last three fingers only and setting the index on the top part of the hex/blob (learned from David Horne) .

wobbler Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Nice work, slap some heavy magnets on it, and never forget about duct tape, stick a 2.5 lb plate or two on the botttom. 1 Quote
