Kluv#0 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Day 1 after 18 months of not touching a plate hub. I was inspired to do some plate hubbing after seeing Stranger double 45LB hub with 10lb each added. At one time I was very good all-around hubber and still only American in top 10 in NAGS ranking in both Ironmind Hub(5th) and World of Grip Griptopz (7th). Plate Hubbing I had done all the major feats (curls, snatch, C&P, Transfers, KP, etc) except one huge problem - most done with my dominant hand. I would like to do a couple of double hub feats- curls and snatch both will take my fingers some time to get conditioned. This A.M. I washed off my deep dish international plates and will get to work 1-2 week but will update only when something significant. Below video just some silliness this A.M.

Kluv#0 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Day 2 Hub work- Left hand 45 LB Plate Hub Curl. I managed 3 scruffy singles below vid was less scruffy. Left hand timed holds and heavy finger walks to finish. Right hand is resting due to big bumper pool finals vs. my buddies tonite. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I was asked a couple times in recent days who I thought was the best all-around hubber (IM Hub-claw style, Shallow hub-claw style, Plate hubbing) John McCarter and Harri Tolonen are from another hub planet. Take away those two baad dudes and my top 5 all-around hubbers that I have ever seen- 1. Aaron C. 2. Joel Dircks 3. Jerome Bloom 4. Gil Goodman 5.

I'd be more impressed if you did that chalk-less after you hosed it down. Seriously though, that was really impressive. Especially after 18 months off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try a double curl upcoming week and hopefully refine for a community vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 My second ever double 45 LB Plate Hub Curl- longish video as I weigh the plates. This was a C+ but still proud to have ability to do it especially at 7:20 A.M. Did one other double hub curl, holds and finished with high volume sledge fingerwalks and pony work. Should take me 2 more weeks to get a quality feat to get voted on but headed in right direction. I did come up with a couple of hub ideas that will be pretty groovy to perform. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Left Hand 45LB Plate Hub Curl and Press. I did 7 curl and press singles with my "weak hand" and did some crazy timed holds with my right. Not even 2 weeks into my hub return! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) All you guys need to slow down a little so I can catch up. If you lost any "hub strength", it certainly doesn't show.

If you lost any "hub strength", it certainly doesn't show. You put in 4-5 sessions of hub plate work and you would be doing very well. Plate hub improvement and subsequent feats are pretty darn easy once you get the fingers conditioned and set aside 15-30 minutes each session. Thanks, I lost a good amount but getting strength and timing back with some quickness. TBH, it is easier for me as I only do wrist work and now plate hubbing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Left Hand 45 LB Plate Hub Curl x 3 Reps. IMO, 7 plus reps would be considered World Class feat on this so long way to go but doing 3 reps with my left after last year major surgery is very special. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First day of hubbing in 2 weeks due to sore extensors from Heslep bends. Yeah bending is sure rough on the body. But it’s still worth it. I’ve found it tricky to find a good balance of bending and grip but I’m getting there. Sometimes I feel drained after bending. That’s been my biggest issue lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
