October Challenge - 1 Hand Plate Pinch (max)

#The 1 Hand Plate Pinch Max

Congratulations to u/ancalagon12 and u/Slopadope for top DOH deadlifts in last month's challenge (non-sumo). This month we are back to plate pinching!

#The Lift:

1. Grab some plates smooth side out
2. Pinch lift with one hand like so to lockout.
3. Control the weight back down.

#The Details:

• Use Iron/steel weight plates that have a flat side.

• You may use a pipe/pin/stick through the middle (like this) to add weight.

• Verify the weight at some point in the video by showing the printed number or weighing on a scale. Gloves OK, but may DQ you for flair.

• Watch this demonstration Watch this better demonstration.

• Article on Pinch Lift tips by the great David Horne.

• Post any questions/conversations here.

##Prizes
