1 hand deadlift

Would adding in some 1 hand deadlifts with a ring be beneficial, I've spent some time lately thinking about how to train off season when I can't throw outside. I was thinking of adding them once a week once the snow falls. Doing them heavy, and quick with a shrug at the top. Could do them deep off blocks, or with a  revolving handle to train grip. With or without thumblock, it seems theres a ton of variations too.  

Mike Smith used to do a version of this If I remember feet elevated on blocks or bench and pull with ironmind caribner

First time trying it, got 250 with revolving handle with thumb lock. Was able to get fast reps with a shrug at the top with 185 for 8 reps, these were all from the floor though. I'm sure these are weak numbers on here though. Off blocks would definately be better. Skullsplitter: did you lift the stones? Did you hit PR in WFH?

Just curious Skull. Do you like to pull up with the weight beside you like a suitcase lift or between the feet. I find both ways beneficial. 

say it ain't so Doc-you do it both ways

In my experience, you can't go wrong with anything from IronMind.

I took my old homemade 56 rig and put 45s on it instead of 10s it works good except I can only fit 4 plates on it for about 190 lbs.

Randy you already have perfect form if you get any stronger you will kick my a** so stop lifting old school any try the Jane Fonda workout !

Mike,

Try it using barbells, instead of dumbbells.  It's even more fun....

Just a little bit.

You'd also seem to be a candidate for doing the bent press using a barbell.
