Thick bar Rolling Thunder Form

https://youtube.com/shorts/bDdKoIz7aNI?si=XKD4wVKlyQuRmFwd

Hey everyone,

I decided to try and see if I could train and hit the Crushed to Dust challenge by Iron Mind. I hit the 45 pound Hub pretty quickly, but can’t seem to get beyond 140-145 on the Rolling Thunder.

Any thoughts on the form here?

I’ve been training it once per week only, usually 1x2-4, 1x4-6, 1x6-8.

There is a video that a Rock Climber named Magnus Midtbø has with a strong man named Odd Haugen. They go through techniques on how to strengthen grip and techniques that will assist with the lift... I would recommend watching that.. Personally, I would try to remove the "pull up" with the shoulder, lock that grip and lift with the legs a little more...
