Grepm.m Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Iron Biby almost got 132.7 kg / 292.5 pounds to lockout on the rolling thunder He also locked out 140 kg / 308 pounds on the Saxon bar (with wagon wheels). Any thoughts on these lifts? Some stats on Iron Biby: “Iron Biby is 1.88m tall (6’ 2”) and weighs 204kg (449lb). His arm girth measures a colossal 71cm (28”), making them arguably the largest in the world.” Source 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromegaman Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Not taking away from his RT lift at all because it is sick, but it seems like the RT might not be made to handle that kind of weight. It seemed to flex a bit under that ginormous load. This may have stopped the spinning motion a bit. Someone needs to tell these powerhouses about a quality spinning handle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RGT is easily accessible and it's one of the hardest, if not the hardest handle on the market. Would be a good handle to use as standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different RT can have quite the difference in how much you’re able to lift on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it did pretty well in Jedd’s shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never tried the RGT myself, but I’ve heard it’s a great handle. I agree. The RGT would be a better measure of one’s grip strength than the Rolling thunder.

WorksinaPinch Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 That Saxon bar is Odd's first that was used in his comps. It has the round bar off center which makes the lift easier when the offset is closer to the palm. Still a huge lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make it a completely different lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes they seem to be readily available, not sure why I thought they weren't in production anymore. Maybe they was just completely out of stock when I checked one time.

Might be, I just had it in my head that these were not produced anymore Anyways, it would be a lot better to find another handle than IM to be the standard in grip sport. Country Crush might be the best option since they also offer many different sizes. I think we need a standard that everyone uses, which is also easily accessible for everyone. Not sure about the status of FBBC? Edited October 7 by Fist of Fury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the status of FBBC? I bought stuff from FBBC earlier in the year. For the first time I had a fast delivery. But the dude said he was changing the layout out the website but last time I checked nothings changed. personally I feel the 2.5” Crusher to be the best rolling handle on the market. RGT doesn’t take chalk. I don’t like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGT doesn’t take chalk. I don’t like it I don't like to train with implements that doesn't take chalk either. But for competition I actually think it's better that way. Now when I come to think about it, there was some controversy about the FBBC crusher some years back. They rust, I'm not sure if they have changed the material to stainless steel now? Anyways I think it's better if it doesn't take chalk, it's not a friction lift in the same way like pinch is anyways. Some water on the hands, then wipe it off, that gives a really good grip with a handle like the LGC-handle, which is stainless steel. Not sure about the plastic handles and how they work with water like that but I feel that they will be more consistant for everyone. Consistency is key if you want to track records. Numbers will be a bit lower but that doesn't really matter anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of last year they are still raw steel. it’s chalky and rusty and looks like it’s been dragged through the trenches. My inch bell is raw iron also so I prefer my rolling handles to be the same.

Dude, I never said it was. I just said there should be another handle which should be standard. Maybe there is one? But I doubt it, since I see all kind of handles being used.
