Actually it is not.... it feels Like zero in it most of the time.... haha .... sometimes I have a little space heater, one of those that looks like a tall thin oscillating fan but not usually.

A hex dumbbell with fat gripz feels exactly like inch dumbbells. They are are all one piece like the inch...and they have the same kind of feel when lifting them... I don’t know what you would have to lift on one to lift the inch though because mine is set at between 140 and 145 pounds right now and I can lift it 10 x each hand in a set with the fat gripz so I don’t know man...
