I find it much harder.

Maybe 140kg.

I might give it a go this weekend and see - as I haven't done it in ages.

I believe Laurence Shahlaei's PB is 170kg, so clearly harder than axle.

I'm going to start doing them, out of the rack.

Any idea why they are harder? The rubbery surface of Fat Gripz is quite grippy. Is it due to rotation? I haven't used them much, just recently on chins really, but can't say I've particularly noticed them rotating.

I did 140kg with ye olde Fat Gripz.

You'd think it would be easier than an axle, but it ain't!!!!

I also did some weighted hangs with them. Both are harder than they should be.

140kg is impressive!

Having had a go, I think they elongate slightly and it becomes a bit like a pinch hold, which adds difficulty. Good theory?

Sometimes I entertain people with a string 18” off the ground and pick up over the string. My non lifting buddies enjoy this event.

You might well be right. They probably deform toward a slight tear drop shape and that diminishes the ability to apply force in the same way an axle does.

There is so so much out there nowadays. A dusty toy that is part of a collection of insanity. I saw the thread with people listing their equipment. I didn’t know where to begin there.

Do you know?

I do. I love a bit of hip hop, so I was down with the House of Pain in the 90s.

Not until I saw that video.

Still managed to not get it quite right.

Roll-Eyes

I find it pretty hard. Never liked block pinches and such. Probably means I should do them more.
