nickr104 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 i am guessing David But I don't really know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm not on the list but I've lifted it and my hands are 7 7/8" Shawn's are 8" even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Mine are around 8.5", this is interesting as R. Sorin and I were talking about this very issue when I was ordering an inch from him, this will be an interesting project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarg Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 He's both the largest and the smallest? That's pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJames Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 My hand is 7.9 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lemanczyk Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Where is Ron Mazza on that list? I personally witnessed him just miss the clean with the Inch a couple times. He deadlifts the inch like I deadlift 135. No joke, the mans insanely strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Dave, I don't know Ron's hand measurement but he doesn't have garagantuan hands, I'd say certainly under 8", maybe under 7.75". He high pulls it easily and I believe can do multiple bent over rows as well. Where is Ron Mazza on that list?I personally witnessed him just miss the clean with the Inch a couple times.

Clay Edgin Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Steve's thumb is 8.25" long as well, so I imagine that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pulls that day were pretty intense man. Ron makes it look ridiculously easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Steve's thumb is so big it has a hand on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 My apologies that Clay and Ron were not on the list. I updated it. When I have time some night and am not working out or doing work for work until 10 PM I will post some ridiculous footage of Ron Mazza getting ridiculous with the Inch dumbbell.

jad Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Good night Mobster 4" my thumb is a whole 2.5" Wade and Jedd both look like they have middle fingers for thumbs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darco Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Brad Provich (Board Member) also lifted it both hands the first time seeing it, I wonder if he has any video ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I believe Chad Woodall (Too Tall) has lifted the Inch as well. Don't know about hand size but the man is very tall. 6' 8" (according to the MM cert) ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom of Iowa2 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 What is meant by a "lift"these days? Just breaking it off the floor?mid shin?or full deadlift? Is this just about forum members??....cause there are a lot more INCH lifters out there and a survey of smallest and biggest hands-though interesting-might be more conclusive if you included the dozens of other INCH "lifters".

That was the first time he had ever touched one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
