bender Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I always use 150% of deadlift 1RM for my lockout goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 (edited) That is a good question... I have never really maxed out on finger lifts. If I am just using one finger I would not go all out. Have you heard what happened to Dave Horne when he was finger lifting?.... pretty frightning stuff. I know I could fully bar deadlift 115 pounds with just my two ring fingers. Edited September 16, 2003 by gripmaster316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gripmaster316 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 He was pinky lifting 180 some odd pounds (not exactly sure of the weight) and the finger almost ripped completely off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I did a 135 lb one finger lift (middle finger) on the excellent Fat Bastard Barbell Finger lift/loading pin . Brian Schoonveld did 135 with his pinkie (ouch!) at the NASS IL Record breakers meet. We were just seeing what we could do as we'd never tried that lift before. Hands & forearms VERY sore the next day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 (edited) Johan Albrektsson from Sweden (2:nd in Löddeköpinge Grip Challenge IX) has fully dead lift 190 kg! (418 lbs) using only his middle fingers. Very well done! Edited September 16, 2003 by Arne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Finger lifta are something I am not prepared to get into. I like my fingers and want them to remain where they are. I will of course never become a grip legend as I do not enjoy pain enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
