Guest Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Lift 100 on the wrench and you can most likely do the inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasraymond Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Joe...I feel the technique on how you lift the wrench is specific to that correlation. If you perform it with the elbow flexed bicep lock like Dan Fleming then that is a much different lift than performing with a slight elbow bend and overhand or neutral grip like you would perform an inch lift. If you can do 100 lbs with the latter technique then yes that would be a fair correlation but not with the other technique as there is much more actual wrist strength and utilizing leverage much differently that involved but at 172 trying to maintain a bicep and wrist flexion lock is pretty much impossible for the normal human. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. There's no way I could lift the inch with this much arm bend. And numbers definitely go down with a straight arm. On the plus side, I think the bent arm version hits the wrist harder and strengthens them more, which would definitely help anyone training to lift the Inch. Great product Luke!

Yes and is much more applicable for us AW...when the weight gets to the point it opens the wrist it becomes more of a pinching lift versus a true support grip where it opens the hands and attacks the finger tips like in an axle or the NN. Ive added 5 rep lifts focusing on keeping my wrist in neutral to slight flexion to strengthen my wrist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you described is how I do it... the second way. I can see what you mean on the first way not correlating for sure Mr LBH/pinch block KING!
