August Challenge - 1-Handed Hook Grip Deadlift

Pinned

#1-Handed Hook Grip Deadlift for Max Weight

###Equipment:

  • A 28mm Olympic style barbell and weight plates. Women may use a 25mm women's bar, if desired.
  • Chalk is allowed. You may use a bit of athletic tape on the working thumb.
  • A scale is optional, if you want to verify your body weight.

###The Lift:

  • Hook grip a loaded barbell with one hand.
  • Deadlift it from the floor to lockout.
  • Pause briefly, allowing the bar to stop moving.
  • Return the bar to the floor in a reasonably controlled manner. A fast descent is ok, but no uncontrolled flops or dropping.

###Rules:

  • The non-working hand my not assist with the bar in any way.
  • We will allow a bit of bar tilt, as long as the bar doesn't rise or fall during the pause.
  • Any reasonable stance is allowed (Conventional, Sumo, Straddle, etc.)
  • Verifying your weights and body weight is not mandatory, but will ensure full credit.
  • Make sure the camera can see the bar for the whole path of the lift. Try to get your whole body, and the weights, in frame.
  • This challenge is open until midnight on August 31st, 2019.
  • Post any questions/conversations here.

###Prizes:

  • Special Flair (text next to your name) will be awarded to both the lifter with the highest weight lifted, and the lifter with the highest Allometric Score. If we get at least 3 submissions by women, flair will be awarded for their max weight, as well.
  • David Dennis of GorillaStrength.us continues to sponsor these challenges. It will be a random drawing, so anyone that posts a video could win!
