Crushed to Dust attempt with both hands!

[Zach Ebel]

Hey everyone! I had the opportunity to try the crushed to dust challenge before the Arm Lifting Super Series competition here in Ottawa on Saturday, and I think it went really well! I was fortunate to have lots of advice from my training partners on the best way and timing to approach the challenge. I was also very fortunate to have the legendary Eric Roussin be my referee and the also legendary Yves Gravelle be the videographer! I am so lucky to be surrounded by such exceptional people. 

 

I have been working towards this for over a year now, and have definitely improved, so I am very happy with my attempt.

Let me know what you think!

Solid lifts dude! Was it approved? Can’t see why it wouldn’t be.

Awesome all the way around...  Great work!

Congrats dude. Not an easy thing to do. I hope to get there some day but I can’t believe how hard 200lbs on the rolling thunder is.

Thanks man! My only training secret worth sharing is years of lots of double overhand deadlifts, often thumbless.
