Florian Kellersmann Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The best pinch feat ever was done by Chad Woodall in my book (double Deep Dish York Pinch Farmers walk). So Chad would be my choice. Wade's Blob would record lift of 81.5lbs is also unmatched to date. Laine or Brian may be able to beat this, but we don't know, and they haven't yet. Kody's 3x20kg stuff was also mindblogging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kody's 3x20kg stuff was also mindblogging. Totally forgot about Chads farming with the two old york 45s. That is something else and changes my views. I wonder what can Chad do to the 2 hand euro pinch now. But Kody long hold of the 25s plate is up there too. As for the blob doing smaller blob with added weights is like doing less barbell press with added reps. The biggest, baddest blobs/wide pinch arw by those two.

Stephen Ruby Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Richard Sorin is up there for me also in his prime he did some pretty ridiculous pinch feats heck even at 12 years old he has most guys beat. Another guy not mentioned is Harri Tolonen who will pretty soon have both of the ironmind pinch world records.(in the hub and blockbuster pinch). He is only getting started also.

I mentioned him and definitely he is crazy strong in the pinch both blockbuster and hub (he was so close to getting 46kg hub at worlds both myself and Jesse were cringing, he trained like a mad man for it). I think Harri is maybe #1 in the sport full stop only I have no idea what his two hands pinch etc Horne, jedd, kody etc obviously we know are great at all kinds of pinch. My 2 cents anyway, there all beasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one. I have a few in mind too for the vertical grip. Some "old" names like Dave Thornton, Theo Burggraaff, Adam Glass, and Ryan Klein on the 1" vbar. Definitely more of them on "my" list. Also some great 2" vbar guys. Adam Glass springs immediately to mind for both lists though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Oh, Chad Woodall could certainly be added to top 2 or 3 overall greatest pinch as well. Can't believe I left him off. Great at narrow and wide. But I think Jedd would still have to be #1 by a smidge. 1. Jedd 2. Chad 3.

Mikael Siversson Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 If Jedd and Chad had a pinch comp testing eg the Euro as well as wide plate pinching there is not much to suggest that Jedd would come out victorious. Having said that Jedd is, I believe, considerably lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one thing about Jedd is he can do wow things in the unexpected moments. Chances can go both way, but I give it to Chad this one. But I do believe (my pinion guys) that if Laine Snook trains his two hand pinch he will snatch the WR too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd has also done every wide pinch feat that Chad has done, with smaller (it's all relative) hands. Plus, the sheer body of pinch work is greater for Jedd. But like I said, I only give it to him by a smidge. Mostly because Chad really doesn't compete much. Neither would be a bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine got the same weight as Jedd on the flask which he used it the first time. But couldn't lock it, but was so close. In a pinch contest, I'll give the upper hand to Laine overall.

Not sure if Jedd has "smaller" Hands than Chad (a bit shorter hands only). Jedd has a good span and longs thumbs which helps with wide objects. Jedd also did not a farmers walk with the DD Yorks as far as I know. I think that even RSorin stated that this was the best pinch feat he has ever seen. Jedd and Chad are for sure very close pinch strength wise. It seems to me a bit disrespectful to Chad to state that "there is not much to suggest that Jedd would come out victorious". They would be worthy opponents in a pinch battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the flask. Now Jedd is a two hand pinch record holder for a while. Top of his game. We did heavy grip training and then the flask. We kept on adding weights. I reached 86KG then was the 91KG. If memory serves me right, Laine got it to little above his knees and while Jedd either got it to lock out or I really think close to lock out and it fell out of his hands. So in that day, if there was a pinch contest, I've given Laine the upper hands in the total lift as he was way better than us in everything pinch related.

But like I said, I only give it to him by a smidge. Mostly because Chad really doesn't compete much. Neither would be a bad choice. My prediction is based on a few observation. Jedd has not improved his 2HP Euro numbers in competition since 2011 or thereabout. In fact it has gone down a bit, possibly because he is lighter now and focusing more on other grip aspects. After Jedd posted his video of him finally pulling two wide york plates (an extremely impressive feat btw) Chad posted a video of him completely dominating wide yorks by doing a farmers walk with them. He was also indicating he had done some very heavy 2HP pulls on the Euro. I am inclined to believe him. At the end of the day we are all speculating. Pound-for-pound its a no contest though as no one is even remotely close to Kody. His 124kg 2HP in the 93k class is absolutely insane as is his 40-seconds (or whatever it was) hold with two 25kg plates AFTER the competition.
