Pinching + 1,041lbs power pull for 5 reps

by adam on June 21, 2009

Thank you Harlan for suggesting i get on these lifts, and thank you Bob Odin for telling me to get on this 45′s pinch. I believe i will be completing the lift by 1 September.

BIG PRs are in store this year- 45′s WILL go up. BKOAB will be crushed. I will figure out this long cycle clean and jerk (very technical lift, and to my extreme disappointment not one of our wonderful know it all GS experts can put out a book and DVD on this event) and move this power pull over 1700 (i will need a better bar, my Texas Power Bar is supposedly rated to 2,500 lbs, i do not trust it that much)

Freaking sweet !!!! Pinch didn't suck there was air time. Just weird to set up. 1041 what the hell !!! Must be terrible to run out of room on the bar ! ha ha Awesome job

Looking strong Adam. I've never seen a bar with enough loading area to hold 1700# – what do you have in mind?

If i can get some steel discs cut from a metal shop here i can get them longers and thinner. Because its on the rack the longer plates will not hurt. I have two steel 5-'s that are 1/2 thick, i want more of those.
