  • John Davis - Pinch Grip Feat

    • John Davis had a mighty grip to go along with his incredible strength. -- He would need a pretty terrific grip to lift the Apollon wheels.

    Davis could also perform three one-arm chinups with either hand. Pictured here is Two-time Olympic Gold Medal Winning Weightlifter John Davis performing a unique grip feat: pinching a pair of York "Deep Dish" 35-pound barbell plates.

    Not many people practice pinch gripping, or gripping a smooth surface with the fingers extended.

    Pinch gripping modern barbell plates is hard enough, what Davis is doing here is very impressive considering those particular plates are twice as wide as any barbell plates you'll find these days.    		John Davis - Pinch Grip Feat- John Davis -
