ThickerThanILook Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't have am inch replca, but I've got one of those Holle dumbbells that ironmind use to make. If that's acceptable, I'm in, because I've been meaning to start training on that thing anyway. Haha. What are you hoisting on this dumbell? I have the same bar (bought years ago from Ironmind) and currently doing about 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wojo Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 No video tonight because nothing special happened, but the 140lb Bosco Bell is definitely feeling lighter in the hand. I gave a good couple attempts at the Bosco with 10lb plates on the globes, but the plates kept falling off before I could get close to a full stand...but they were my best attempts yet. I also lifted the Bosco several times with a neutral grip as discussed previously and it really is easier that way. I'll start working that in to get more comfortable with it. I gave the Inch a few pulls, but I was already pretty beat and it came up about the same distance as it has in previous attempts....it really feels like I could stand up with it, but it inevitably rolls out. I really feel like a full lift is "right around the corner"....of course this could mean many months away...but I'm hopeful it will be sooner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squat More Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Do some static RT holds with 172# to strengthen that thumb more under that load and incorporate more plate curls for keeping the wrist strong and neutral and I think you have a full Inch lift in a month John. Did you ever see the wrist leverage curling bar I made? I'll msg you on Crapbook aboot it, eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IROC-Z Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Question for you guys who are using the Bosco Bell, how durable is that thing? Can it handle some abuse, or do you have to be fairly gentle when setting it down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Question for you guys who are using the Bosco Bell, how durable is that thing? Can it handle some abuse, or do you have to be fairly gentle when setting it down? You have to be a little careful with it. I dropped mine from about waist height on a 1/4'' rubber mat and it put a dent in it, I'm more careful with it now. If I had thicker matting it probably would've been ok.

I had gotten the head's up from Tom about not dropping it, so I've been careful with mine from the beginning. It's not like the thing is made from balsa wood or anything, but I wouldn't get careless with it....it's still a loadable dumbbell and not solid iron.

Mephistopholes Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 So I need to get more standard plates. Haha. Cause I've only got 100lbs worth, and the holle dumbbell takes standards... For the moment, I could probably pin an Olympic plate in between the standards, but that's not quite the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered if those bells could handle being dropped or not. Probably going to look for a different option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
