The Mac Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well done Sam! I know you know it as well as I do, so I won't mention it was a Push Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks all Twig, i know of another 20 year old from Scotland who has performed this feat. I came very close to getting the inch overhead aged 18 - but could never quite lock it out. Chris, of course - i'm a long way off from strict pressing 78kg like how Glenn Ross did it at the arnolds 2005!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Awesome display of strength! Congrats! Thank you !

IROC-Z Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you ! With your RT ability i'm willing to bet you would be able to deadlift my inch replica easily. I've never tried an Inch. I'm really hoping to get the opportunity in the very near future! BTW - How long did it take you to get a full dl with it, and how would you say it compares to the RT?

CoC#3 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Oldguy, Last i heard Nathan Holle is still training with grippers, and that's he's closing a certain big gripper for reps. If i go into any more detail there is a chance this thread might get locked ha ha Not sure about his brothers. They made some good inch replicas a while ago and as far as i know they will still make you any dumbell to the specs, weight etc.. that you want. Rico, thanks mate. IROC, i can't deadlift the inch without using a silly amount of tilt. Tilting makes it easier because you can brace the back bell against the lower part of the forearm/wrist, reducing the rotation slightly. For reference my best ever RT is 225lbs on a used handle. The RT is a good tool for training on but it's rotation is nothing compared to the spin of the inch when it tries to rotate out of your hand.

MANTHOS Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 How much can you press overhead with a barbell.....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks mate. My best overhead presses on a 2'' axle (i rarely press with an oly bar) are 110kg with no leg drive (strict) and 135kg with a push press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Sprawl Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 that is freakishly easy for you. are you going to become a pro strongman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 With the standard here in the UK at the moment it's unlikely. I'm no where near strong enough! Strongman has really come a long way in the last 5 years. A few years ago on farmers walks for example they were using 275/hand for speed in the british finals now i have seen novice comps with the same weight!
