Using a larger diameter bar. There is one bar at Golds that is rounder than the others but, what about using DBs? Do you wrap a towel around the grips to make them larger? Hmm, for some reason I feel that wrapping a towel or something around the grips would make it EASIER..
What are you guys using? |

I see some guys using square pieces of foam. That is probably just to protect their hands though.

soft bar lifting makes it harder. you have to grip harder to apply force through the towel. i have done it before. you need a bunch of towel though. not like a little dish rag or something. you need to wrap it up good.

I've done soft bar lifting before at the suggestion of P-funk. I've also taken those oversized pads pussies use to protect their delicate shoulders from marks while squatting and wrapped two of them around the barbell to increase grip demands. That is harder than towels even, I found.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
