Bill Piche Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 38 minutes ago, Hopefully said: Is it much harder pressing inch dumbbells than regular ones? OMG...for sure I would say. Just the thickness of the handles alone to control them. Quote
Mywor Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 6 hours ago, Hopefully said: Is it much harder pressing inch dumbbells than regular ones? Yes,not just the diameter, but often the handle isn't perfectly round but more of an oval or something which makes it even harder. Quote

I cannot imagine anyone pulling those from the ground like that, and THEN pressing them. i agree on the “grip feat”. I may go a step further and say “strength feat”. Quote
Hubgeezer Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 What am I missing here? I saw the standalone YouTube video that gave the “number of views” and there were 45 views just now. I don’t understand. Quote

I post mostly on Instagram and Facebook hence the poor number of views on YouTube. You might remember me from the British Grip Championships 2007. I was with my mother there and you were on holiday and also competed. Hope you're keeping well. Thank you for the nice comments here everyone Regards Sam 2 Quote

Sam Parker Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Just read all the comments here thank you very much everyone! Next time I want to get into double figures on the press. My bodyweight is below 300 which means my top end press power is down so it may indeed be time to eat more. 1 Quote

I can’t tell you how happy I was to be pleasantly surprised to learn that the strong guy manhandling the Inch Dumbbells is the same fellow who so warmly greeted my wife and I almost 14 years ago at Steve Gardener’s place. I never would have recognized you. As you know, but until now no one else did, my wife now follows you on Instagram. MY WIFE, who hates all things of the Iron Game, follows a Power Lifter. My son is still trying to figure that one out! But seriously, just a day before I saw your video, we had a discussion “I wonder what Sam is doing these days?”. Now we know. That’s great. Folks, Sam is a real good guy. A fun guy with a good wit.👍 I thought he was strong as a teen. Now he’s one of the strongest men in the world.💪 2 Quote

To be fair my Instagram contains as much dogs 🐕 as it does lifting! Honoured to have her follow me. I'm actually chatting to my Mum today and I'll pass on her well wishes. How are things going with you training wise? I've some cool hub feats that I need to share with you at some point too. Quote

My wife hit it off very well with his mother, and we talked quite a bit. Is that you? Back in May of 2007, when Sam approached me and introduced himself, until he said what his “Gripboard” name was, I had no clue who he was. He may have been absent from this forum for years, but he was into Grip in a BIG way. So Sam is a grip veteran, not some walk-on fiddling with the Inch for the first time. I saw a hint of his strength in something called “The One Hand lift”, which really wasn’t so much a Grip Event as it was a Strength Event. You grabbed a David Horne special handle, and the goal was to pick up a full length barbell (chain wrapped around the bar) so that both ends of the barbell plates were at least two inches off the ground. Steve Gardener won with a World Record, and Sam was not too far behind, seems like it was close to 700 lbs. for young Sam... Quote
