1stCoC Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Terry Todd called today and we had a pow wow on how the Inch shall be lifted clean to the shoulder. (by my bet Mark Henry)I gave my two cents of insight and I think the light went on in old Terry's head.Some technical adjustments have to be made and in mutual agreement when they are.... hopefully the Sorinex Inch Bell will be hoisted to the shoulder at the Old Time Barbell assoc. dinner or at a NSCA. meeting. As in many feats of strength men are SO much into the task at hand and not THIKING how First to harness the power to do it! I will keep you posted!

Nathan Say Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Could a guy just start with a the most weight he can clean on a dumbell & just work up until he can clean an Inch Replica? Is that too easy? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Nathan, That would be the easiest way- simple, progressive, weight training- assuming the dimensions are the same and the handle is non-revolving. Plus if you outweigh the dumbell by more than double, it may help. Mark Henry was announced at 390 lbs at the Arnold Classic. So the bell is 44% of Mark's weight. I dare say any number of the board members could clean an Inch-type bell which they outweighed by 56%- for a 200 lb man that would be an 88 lb Inch replica; for a 250 lb man it would be a 110 lb replica. The surprising thing about Mark is that he has not yet done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 This is exactly why I got my PDA Inch handle DB. :p Don't laugh, but the very FIRST time (a few days ago) I picked up my PDA Inch DB, I had 136 pounds on it. Picked it up to knee height. I've still got a long way to go!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I don't know why Mark Henry hasn't cleaned one yet. From what I've read on here, he's pulled one high enough to snatch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
