Hub Lift

Plates with a shallow hub require strong finger tips.

Place an olympic plate face side up. Grasp the hub in the center with finger tips. Squeeze hard and lift the plate. A very strong man can lift a 45lb plate in this fashion. Companies like Ironmind also produce a stand alone hub device that can be used with a loading pin for training this lift.
