Matt76 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Well today I decided I wanted to do some plate pinching. It was more first time so i'm more or less just expiermenting so tell me what do you guys think... Warm up with 3 10's to a full dl Then grabbed 2 25's into a full DL and passed them back and forth until I could no longer hold them. Then I did 2 sets of negatives with 2 35's Then I just wanted to see what 2 45's felt like so I picked them up with 2 hands and held them until gravity took its toll Let me just say this. I love pinching when I started I figured how much of a workout can it really be. Well I was sweating and working my ass off. While doing the 2 25's I ripped the skin between my thumb and pointer that just pissed me off and made me want it more. I think i'm going to start doing pinch on saturdays. This was also after a very heavy shrug workout. O and for all you guys who can pinch 5 10's damn that seems impossible to me. Well just wanted to tell everybody my first expierence with pinchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Congrats on liking your first pinch workout. You should get 5 10's in time. They just feel weird at first. What do you weigh? What do your hands measure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt76 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 Well before this school year around 170-175 now i'm a whopping 210-215 I been powerlifting put on some weight. I believe my hands measure around 7 3/4" but thats mostly b/c I have a big palm I have pretty short fingers compared to all my friends. I'm also 5'10" and 18 years old. Anything else, and thanks for showing interest Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I would also try playing around if you still have energy after the workout. I like to clean various stuff using a pinch grip. Snatching and swinging stuff is fun too but watch your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
