mcalpine1986 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) The 1992 catalogue post was great and i have from 2004-2009 so Here are some photos from the 2004 catalogue, the cover was ripped off over the years and i cant remember what was on the front. The prices are crazy, a stand out is the Old model Rolling thunder at only $32! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Cannon Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It's super cool to see the photo of Heath meeting up with Joe Kinney. Heath describes the meet-up in this thread but I have never seen that photo! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heath describes the meet-up in this thread but I have never seen that photo! The catalogues always had great pics you would never normally see. They sent me this when i ordered a trainer from them back in late 2003. My first ever gripper. I also have 5 years worth of the summer catalogues they sent out to customers. After i had my trainer for a couple of weeks i ordered a 1, 2 and a 3 from them. Obviously all old double stamped grippers. If i remember rightly the shipping from the US to UK took about 2-3 weeks. It felt like the longest wait ever! Edited September 9, 2021 by mcalpine1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the heck did they justify almost 200 bucks for 2 thin metal bars but charge 270 for the inch? I got the big boy dumbbells they were worth it!

3Crusher Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) The Ironmind catalogs were great back then. Lots of great pics. Here is a recent photo of Heath Sexton and me when we just recently met up in Knoxville, TN. He is still strong as an ox.

Both of you dudes were key to helping me achieve my grip goals and more. So cool you were able to see each other.

Terry Conjugate Iron Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Isn't that Mark Philippi in the first pic? Man what a beast he was. I remember Magnús Ver Magnússon telling me stories about that era. That catalogue is stacked by the way. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going by my memory, as my brother purchased one from IronMind. If you can believe it, most everyone paid a flat $75 for shipping. No way did they sell it for longer than two years.* *Edit. Looks like I was wrong. My brother purchased his more than two years before that catalogue. That HAD to be the last year that the Inch was featured... **Double Edit. I searched. My brother's Inch Dumbbell Replica was shipped to him in March 2000. I think he jumped on the bandwagon VERY soon after they came out.

mcalpine1986 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Inch Replica price's from the Ironmind catalogues of 2005, 2006 and 2007 as requested by @VintageWeightsPGH. They stopped selling the Inch replicas after 2007. Note the price hike from the previous year in the 2007 last photo. The pics look a bit blurry once I uploaded them but if you click on them they are clearer. Edited April 30, 2023 by mcalpine1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DeLorean would sure be handy, for an infinite number of reasons: go back to 2010 and buy 1,000 Bitcoin for $100 (now worth $29 million); acquire the complete lineup of Tetting grippers with ease; start training grippers and bodybuilding 13 years ago, instead of just getting started; etc. But alas, time is irreversible. In the words of a famous Chinese proverb: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
