Category: Pinch Grip Strength

Technique: Hub Lifting

Execution: Typically performed by pinching an olympic plate by the center hub with an overhand grip and lifting and holding for time, multiple reps or a maximal effort.

In this video there is an alternative method if the plates in your gym have a hub that cannot be pinched. You can use an end-loaded EZ curl bar.

Results will vary, depending on how sweaty your hands are. A more accurate test is to pick up a bathroom scale and squeeze it with both hands. See how much weight you can squeeze for a minimum of 3 seconds. If you're a betting person, don't take a bet against a stone mason. ;-p

if you give someone a purple nurple i bet you could rip it off.

Thanks for showing that ez bar lift. Why didnt I think of that? And no matter how many times I see a hub lift, I still can't comprehend the strength involved. Toughest pinch I can do is 2 quarter plate pinch....and a 40lb blob.
