Mike Rinderle Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Was down in Raleigh with my family for the weekend. Drove down to Charlotte on Saturday morning to hang with @jasonotto . Great guy and an awesome time. Dude is a beast with a lot of fun grip toys to play with. Over two hours of various lifts and general fun. Lots of blockweight lifts, wrist wrench, and about a thousand lifts and feats with the Inch and a 53kg baby Inch. I got the full sized Inch 2 or 3 times with 5 lbs added to reduce the spin. Couldn't quite get it with no weight, but I'm close. It's a Sahlaney bell. Then we went to the baby Inch for about an hour. I got a couple of mid air transfers and tried in vain to clean it several times. Close, but not quite. Had Jason tried the mid air transfers before killing himself on the wrist wrench, he would have had it. As it was, he was close about 50 times. Can't wait to get back down to train.

jasonotto Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yes sir! That was great fun. If my hands allowed me too, I could've played with those transfers the rest of the day! My hands and arms are torched today. U did great work with both bells yesterday. They are addictive. Cant wait for the next time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temmmeeee Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Your cleans remind me of mine, we both have terrible technique It's so awkward trying to get those globes to flip too. You definitely have the strength to clean that thing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically just have to hoist it 6 feet in the air because I have 0 technique or ability to drop down underneath it. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's harder than just a high pull up to the neck/face level because ya gotta flip those dang globes. I bet you'll get it next time regardless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonotto Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah I'm hurtin. That was a couple of hours of throwing a heavy thick handled bell from hand to hand. But...what fun. As far as it being a true clean or not, technique-wise...who cares? I know I sure dont care for picture perfect feats, especially like this one. Anyone who can row it that high and almost get an elbow under it is pretty damn strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 What’s the weight of it, Mike? Is it 130? Here’s a video of me cleaning Jedds baby inch shot loadable. This one is 127. This was close to a hammer curl. Easy on my arm and grip but terrible on the back IMO. You should try this one at Jedds next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to my comments, I wasn't downing his attempts in any way at all or saying it wasn't a true clean, I was just saying that I have similar technique (or lack thereof lol). I'm king of ugly lifts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonotto Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 No, not at all. I just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone wanted to critique and question these lifts. Because it would be a waste of breath on their part. This clean attempt u just posted is beastly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try this one at Jedds next time. I've actually cleaned that one at Jedd's. This one is only 118 lbs, but the solid globes make it difficult to generate speed without it flying out of your hand after a 2 hour session.

And thanks! It was close but no cigar. Far from beastly. But I think I have it figured out. Next time I'm going to bounce it off my power belly, try to miss my moobs on the way up, and hope I don't knock out any teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh so the fact that this is filled with shot, and not solid globes changes the dynamics? The 118 felt harder? I would love to get my hands on a baby inch. I put an add in wanted to buy. Would use it for high rep rows and some cleans . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, just like a lot of gripsters could pick up a 172 lb shot loadable Inch but most would struggle with the real inch. The shot loadables are anti spin. The shot sitting in the bottom makes it resist spinning out of your hand. You could have cleaned this one pretty easy Joe. I don't have near your overall strength.

Man I ain’t what I used to be pre back injury. Man if I was without it I would love to see where I would be at. Makes me sick to my stomach... but hey, I still got something at least. Can’t complain.

I failed to lift a 118 solid bell, no movement at all and a month later I lifted Jedds shot loaded 127 no problem like 4 times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
