showlarson Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) Only Mark Henry has done a millennium bell lift worth mentioning. ← Actually Mark Henry, Joel Sward, and Mobsterone (Steve Gardener) have all lifted it to about the mid shin to around knee level (correct me if I'm wrong). No one has fully deadlifted the thing as far as I know. Check out some of the old galleries for the Sward vid (he is the guys that farmers with the inch bells about 75'!) Not to blow my own horn but I can pick up the inch any day of the week and did so my first time seeing one. BUT the millenium will not do anything but pop one side up and roll out of my hand!!!!

Kurt Lane Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 The handle looks alot longer on the MDB! I cant imagine how hard it is to pick one of those up.. unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handgripperman Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Once ODD Haugen gets his hands on it he WILL lift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Mobster Steve Gardner,co inventor of the MDB has lifted it well above shin level,i videod and witnessed it at the OHF dinner in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 ok, so what is the millenium dumbbell? ← Google it using images. It's a bigger dumbbell than the Inch (172 v 228). And search this site. Only Mark Henry has done a millennium bell lift worth mentioning. ← I'm always suspicious of a new member (27 posts) making slagging comments. Mark did no better than me indeed as per Gazza I've lifted it higher. Mark has done it three times left handed and three times right the first time he saw it. Can anyone provide a link to a site which explains who makes this dumbell and what it looks like? ← Myself and Alan Radley (PhD) created the bells. This site and google have images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'd like to see Sward,Mobster,Henry(and Odd,Pfister and Samuelson)take a shot at the Excalibur.Only two in existance. Link to Excalibur 250# Another look at the beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the extra weight the lack of globes mean it would be equal to a MDB. It'd doable. I have gone as heavy as 300.1lb on a plateloaded dumbbell and the Excalibur is as solid as can be. And it's nigh on pretty as well I'm hoping to compete in the worlds in 2006 and if big John can be persuaded to bring it in his 4x4 I'll give it a try.

Have Pexter slip on the 2.47" smooth handle.Hope it happens. Yes it is a pretty piece of metal. West coast choppers -meets the strength world.

mobsterone Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 With the knurled handle deffo. With the larger smooth handle I'll need to work to about 310-320 on my plated loaded bell. It's that nice to look at that I had it as my desktop at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripbuddy Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have no idea what "slagging" means. Based on the images I have seen so far, only Mark Henry has done anything respectable with the Millennium dumbbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the images I have seen so far, only Mark Henry has done anything respectable with the Millennium dumbbell. ← Explain why. If it involves the bell being straight PM me your address. Plus and I ask this of all those with such opinions and comments, what could you do with it? I mean other than roll it up and down. Chris have you ever had a go @ this bell ? ← Yes. He two handed it to his shoulder and attempted to one hand press it getting a push press/jerk as far as his ear (ie: about 3-4 inches). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
