Creative Grip Strength - Keg + Chain Lifting

http://www.synergy-athletics.com - This is one of our 8th graders lifting a keg plus 40 lbs of chain by the "hub." It is not as difficult as a real hub lift with a plate, because the keg has a small lip. However, it requires a great deal of hand, forearm, and finger strength perform this movement. We used the keg because it was easy to load extra weight on.

I attempted this move after him, and it took me 3 attempts to get it up! No joke, feat of strength for such a young athlete.

I like weight plate pinch for grip, too. put two plates of appropriate weight together, smooth side out, pinch and lift.

Nice, I'll have to try that. Not sure where I'll get a keg in Utah though.

looks like a good thing that could be micro-loaded!
