AP Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Crush: I can close my 3 pretty well with a set, still a ways from my elite. No set I can close my 1 I don't like no sets, I don't train no sets very often, I'm better at juggling my grippers in the air than no sets. Bending: I put down another triangle grade 5 last night. These things are tough! Managed to get two more very close but no cigar. Block weights: RH I can lift my 35lb hex with 5lbs added. left with maybe 2.5 on a good day. I've torn a deck of cards before. I've bent a few (easy) horseshoes. I've got 45lbs to come up (not to full lockout) on the hub lift. RT 152lbs the first and only time I've tried it. Other than that: Bench 385 touch and go RAW, Squat ass to grass 405 for a few singles with no gear no belt nothing, Going to try for 500 powersquat this year with just a belt. Just got a 500 dead this last spring, only a belt. Going to go for a 250 seated military press this year, have done 235 no support equipment. Stats: 5'8" 200 lbs I'm finally starting to get strong, I've still got a lot more to go though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honn Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) These are my best results for my right hand, left hand results are too weak to post. Yet! Grippers HG300 4+ reps V-bar 264lbs One hand deadlift 374lbs Two handed pinch 137lbs Not much, but I will improve.

Too Tall Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The only two PR's that I have any proof of is my farmer's walk record, and certifying under the new rule for the #3 CoC list in April 2004. I set the farmer's walk record at the Music City Showdown last year(240# ea. hand for 160ft w/turn) I did it in 18.75 seconds. I work on the RT, grippers, and I have started doing some bending. I owe a lot of thanks to Ryan Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Very nice, Vise. What can you really do? Besides make us laugh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vise Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 i am still pretty new to the game so the only thing i can do worth noting is crush a #2 and lift a 35lb hex blob (i gotta get a 40# now). i can also lift a 30lber with my left pinky and ring finger. i got a loadable inch db (by im) but haven't seen what i can do on it yet. the camming action on the "holle db" makes it extremely difficult. oh ya, i can also do fingertip, openhand pullups on an old metolius simulator (i weigh 200lbs).

bencrush Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Mike, you are a freak. I went through your list and picked your one arm C&J of 165 pounds on the 2" bar as the most impressive to me. Most casual weight trainers wouldn't be able to do that with HALF that weight. Great lifts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handgripperman Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I no set closed a SM first time I picked it up, I can lift 160lbs on my rolling thunder I can deadlift 400lbs. my goals are to close the 3, lift the inch, hub pinch a 45lb plate, lift the blob and bend a red nail.

MeatPlow Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 (edited) Bending- 60ds Goal- Grade 8- 6"x1/4" Pinching One hand- left and right 2-35lb plates(CAP) Goal- 45lbers(of course!) Two Hand 177lbs(I think, maybe 172?) Goal-none at this time Grippers- #2 no set both hands, Old BBMx5 Right hand only No goals for grippers. Thickbar- 2" Barbell- double overhand- 270x1 Goal- 300x1 Eagle Loops- Just been hanging with bodyweight Goal- Going to start going after some heavy one hand lifts on this, but at this point not sure where I want to be with this lift. Seems like I saw Bill in and old Ironmind catalog long ago doing some impressive stuff hanging from his pinkies and ring fingers maybe??? I need this as I got some bad weakness in the pinky area of my right hand from a boxers fracture.
