Jonathan McMillan Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Been a while since I thought of anything creative training wise. I experimented with it this afternoon and I am quite happy with the result and aim to keep this exercise in my routine for a while. Think of a behind the back barbell wristcurl but instead of the bar you use a pair of plates that you are pinching. My first trial I had the plates on the floor and found it too akward to get into position so my next attempt I put the plates on my bench. A pair of 25's was more then enough for me but some of you monsters might need to start with the 35's or higher!?!?! I think this would be a good assistance exercise to anyone focusing on the two hand plate pinch. Give it a try and see what you think!

Old Dax Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Johnathan, would that be both hands on the same pair of plates? Also, thumbs away from your back - so that they are on top at the top of the move. Sorry to be thick, Old Dax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
