Change to Bearhug rules

[RJ]

The change to the bearhug rules states “Add 2” vb and 2” plates to Bearhug rules”. Though I note that it says “add” I just want to be sure that I can still use my 1″ Jack Lalanne plates.

RJ, The rule change now allows the use of 1 inch and 2 inch plates, so you can still use you Lalanne plates! This change was made to make it easier for lifters to do this lift as most gyms don’t have enough 25 pound 1″ plates to do the bearhug. Al PS I haven’t tested it but I would guess that 1″ plates would be easier to lift than 2″ 25 plates. I would be interested to hear feedback on this.
