Guest Jeff Roark Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Do you think there is anyone that will be able to do this feat of strength? Proper form must be used, no continental lifts. One clean and one jerk. Vote and give answers to who you think might accomplish this feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Yes (as per my vote) and should they put a mind to it a) Mark Henry b) Chris James & c) Alan Radley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Yes, it is possible these days, and it will happen before this summer by one of the men that mobsterone mentioned. I have a hunch it has already happened but has been kept quiet. Also have a hunch it will happen at the Arnold Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Check out this link, called "Corey .vs the Dumbbell". It's about strongman competitor, Corey St. Clair lifting the Thomas Inch Dumbbell in Atlanta last year. :0 http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/strongman3.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 115-1005574997 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 why not. I recon it will be done sooner rather than later and Mark Henry is amazing. Steve, hows Alan doing these days? You say hes a good Oly lifter, what are his PB's? Has he competed much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faheem Chauhan Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Hey Scott,mobsterone who`s Mark Henry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 sybersnott, Good link about Cory deadlifting the bell. Horrible link about the facts of the bell. His recounting of the bell's history is so full of fiction as to make the version literally worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Five men lifted the Inch Bell at the show.Corey and Mag Sammulsen really did a number on it! What fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roark Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 A friend of mine who usually knows what's going on behind the scenes, tells me that Mark Henry's contract was for ten years and 2.5 million dollars, but the most important aspect is that it is a NO CUT contract! So, as long as Mark wrestles when and where he is told to by the WWF, he gets his pay. Sounds like a bodyslam good deal to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faheem Chauhan Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Thanks a lot, he is the Mark Henry that i thought. Some very impressive pics and bio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gripintime Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 There is a strength related site called Diesel Power Forum. One of the posts over the weekend said that at the Strongman show in Ohio recently that Phil Pfister (who has been competing at the Worlds' Stongest Man contests for the past 3 or 4 years) actually lifted the Inch Dumbbell. However, the post said that he was able to get it to his thigh and with the assistance of his thigh (by kicking up his leg a little) was able to complete the clean and then he pressed it with one hand. Don't know if it's true, just reporting what I read. If this is true, does the 'leg kick' make this offical or not? Anyway.....real impressive one way or another.

1stCoC Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Mr .Phister called me today...nice a guy as he is strong. We got an Inch bell on the way to him so he can spend some "quality time" with it.The Inch bell was levered up his leg,breifly aided to steady with the other hand,shouldered, and push jerked overhead one handed.Besides a super grip Phil has THE largest hands I have EVER seen in person. He says when he cleans and jerks it one handed I will be one of the first to know (with pics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
