David_wigren Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just shot a quick video going over a few points for doing strict plate curls. Now, training is training and each to their own. But having a long history of doing plate curls I know that I have personally gotten the most out of the exercise while doing them strict in this fashion. Also, if it were ever to be done in a competition setting, an execution like this is probably the way to go. A point I missed to talk about in the video is obviously momentum, but that should go without saying Stay strong my friends. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick bar and wrist feats are my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to do a few sets of 10 but was struggling to do sets of 5. Yes, you do seem to have a talent for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t bring myself to do pre close sets. To each their own but I am a purist when it comes to any strength feats. I don’t settle for anything that makes it easier. I can tell you my TNS gripping has had a lot of carryover into all my other grip exercises. I think my wrist strengthening stuff has given me an edge with all other grip disciplines. I think it helped me with lifting the inch very quickly. Wrist is key for grip! Edited December 23, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helped me with lifting the inch very quickly. Wrist is key for grip! I like all the different types of sets, all from TNS to super narrow. However, I think I might have broken my middle finger in september. It didn’t really bother me enough to go and check it. But now the tip of my middle finger is oddly shaped just over the last joint and I noticed that closing grippers from a deep set hurts like a bitch. Fortunately CCS and TNS closes doesn’t seem to affect it at all. I’ve only tried the Inch once a few years back. I managed to get it to float a bit over the ground. Couldn’t get it to a full lockout, it was to heavy for me. It would be cool to be able to lift it some time in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I still can't even do a strict curl with a 25 but it's close, so for the weak people like me don't forget to train the negative. Just lift up with both hands then lower with the one as slow and controlled as possible, we're much stronger in eccentric loading compared to concentric.

Eric Roussin Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Excellent demonstration, David! I’ve always been of the opinion that the wrist should be straight throughout the movement. Allowing the wrist to bend back takes away from the spirit and purpose of the lift (my opinion). I think there are people who can curl a 45-lb plate with their wrist bent, but can’t do a strict curl with a 35. The only person I’ve seen do a near strict curl with a 45 is Adam Glass. Anyone know of any others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Very nice David! And very strong really. As for the momentum I assume you mean NOT to do it. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
