AdamTGlass Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Besides the difficulty from the actual resistance, the thick handle and rotation makes this incredibly hard. Unlike a KB or BB, the thumb is stressed to the utmost stopping it from crashing down. Maybe a two-four more days and I believe I can get full reps up and down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt-tom Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Holy crap! That is strooong, Adam. And a little crazy . Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Amazing!!! For people who don't TGU often - there is a tremendous amount of core strength needed just to get the first shoulder off the ground, and a tremendous amount of strength in the other shoulder to get up on the elbow in the second step. The most I know of done was a vid on youtube with 185# Oly bar, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyjoe Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What could possibly be next??? WOW!!! Question to ponder here: Is there another human as strong as Adam Glass in overall strength from head to toe when the hands are the connecting link to the feat? if you know of a candidate or have someone in mind please share their name here and give a comparison if it's anywhere close to Adam's.

That's a very good point - I don't think I have ever heard of somebody attempting to TGU an Inch db before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm...I am thinking of a Russian who has already proven himself even at a much lighter weight. Ivan. You know his name. Also Durniat may be ~15 lbs heavier but he's a freak in darn near everything he does. Adam is too. Unless you're the Don King to Adam maybe leave the world's best internet challenge to him. I hate to see these Kinney style forum posts. I think they're causing me retinal damage. Anyways, an Inch TGU is redonkulous. Pretty sure I will never first hand understand the difficulty of the feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellswindstaff Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I hate to see these Kinney style forum posts. I think they're causing me retinal damage. I bet Adam trained high volume severe negatives to be able to do prepare for this feat... there is no other way. ;P Seriously though, congratulations on such a feat... What's next... ballistic moves?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think if he gets the TGU down, then he'll go for the Inch DB clean and press!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking a question to be pondered and considered. Big difference! Edited October 30, 2012 by Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You asked for a "candidate" and credentials bro. Kind of a mixed message then eh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 During a visit on Jan 14 ,2011 to our facility World Highland Games champion Matt Vincent not only did the 172lb. Inch replica (lifted by Mark Henry in his Clean and Press at the AOBS in 2002 )in the Turkish getup style also did a getup with 178lb Olympic masters Olympic weightlifting champ Shane Miller held in his hand for resistance. There were YouTube and facebook videos circulating for a while now of both feats. I think my son Bert reposted the live weight lift using the 178 lb. gentleman on the Sorinex Facebook site. Matt weighs about 270 so the feat being duplicated by Adam or Andrew is highly meritorious. Thanks for asking. R.Sorin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick McKinless comes to mind as another great all-rounder with a good grip, at a similar size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyjoe Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Ooooookay! I wonder about you sometimes Daniel as if you're trying to police the board. There's no rules that prohibit questions here. Here's a quick look at the difference between a challenge® and a candidate: http://www.merriam-w...=0&t=1351652291 I'm asking a question of comparison (hence, candidate), not a calling out of challengers. That would be Adams choice to issue a challenge. I still fail to get your retina analogy. Why does this bother you? No offense! I just call them as I see them!

daniel reinard Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I wrote a reply but it was lost when I accidentally clicked on a link. Now my attention is fading. It's probably for the best. BTW, 5a. That's exactly the challenge I saw. It was a dare to compare challenge. Not so much the 5b you refer to. PM me if you want me to answer your questions. I have a few thoughts I don't mind sharing for sake of conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I can't hold my arm up that steady when I'm empty handed, let alone full of elephant tusk or t-rex thighbone or whatever the hell that dumbbell handle is made of. Well done sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGHTYSAXON Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 awesome attempt man I have to give that a try somewtime with my saxon dumbbell at the 172 mark see how well it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
