Steve Stanko and The Hub Lift

Posted on Monday, October 29th, 2018 by John Wood
One of the classic classic grip feats was to pick up a York Deep-Dish 45 Pound barbell plate just by the hub, something weightlifting and bodybuilding champ Steve Stanko could do with ease, even with an added 10 pounds. Steve’s best on this feat was with over 90 pounds!

Wilbur Miller is a big reason why the York Barbell Company had to phase out the Deep Dish Plates and go with a slimmer profile. No room for collars … note that the plates here had to be strapped on to the bar!
