They also have a much longer handle. They do not count as "replicas" on David Horne's list, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Steve Slater may have made Inch replicas prior to his MonsterBell line. I'd have to do more research to firm up details. Steve Slater definitely makes Inch Dumbbells still. The 172 size. Jason Adamski is the other guy that makes the various sizes of Inch Bells. If anybody is interested in an Inch Bell, I can get the ball rolling if you email me at jedd.diesel@gmail.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domedude Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 A guy in NYC just posted on marketplace. He's got what looks like some loadable Inch dumbbells and two matching barbells. He doesn't know who made them, and they look well-used, but if anyone lives near there it might be worth checking out. Probably not worth me driving from Texas, but I'd like to have one of the dumbbells if someone goes and buys them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RITParent15 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Great looking dumbbells. I'll be in that area for work in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit 172 on a Rolling Thunder, for example, does that ensure a lift with an actual 172 lb Inch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit 172 on a Rolling Thunder, for example, does that ensure a lift with an actual 172 lb Inch ? Rolling Thunder, the worst rolling handle on the market, is a bad indicator because you never know how much they will roll. The handle that has served to be most accurate, in my experience, is the 2.5 Crusher. If you can do 172-175 on it, you should be able to lift the Inch. But understand that rolling handles have a very short pull distance compared to the Inch, so the strength-time factor is not the same. The best way to train for the Inch Dumbbell is with the Inch. If you don't have an Inch, then the best way is with a simple plate loadable dumbbell that is about 2 & 3/8 to 2.5" thick. No need for a million different gadgets. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean their shipping prices are the best you can get. If they could make atleast a real replica, there would be so many more Inches out there now.
