Inch // #3 TNS and other favourite feats

[d_blocmann]

Started this thread as a place to collect my favourite feats. 
173lbs Inch // CoC #3 TNS

Probably my favourite combo feat so far. Left hand has healed just enough for 1 or 2 singles a day, so I gave it a go. Sorry for the fumbly video. It’s really hard to film this feat.

Does anyone have a record of how many people have done this combo? Pretty sure I‘m the fifth person in Germany to do it, but would love to know of more successful attempts  

Cheers

Daniel

No idea how many people have done this combo...but it's definitely NEXT LEVEL.

Excellent!

way cool, great lift

Very impressive!  I know a few folks who can do one or the other of these feats, but not sure there are many who can do both at once -- I am actually surprised that you said there might be as many as 5 in Germany.  I'm not even sure I would have thought there were 5 in the US.  @dubyagrip probably can, @Ben Helms probably can, Jason Dingey maybe, Ivan Cuk maybe--probably a few others could do it if they trained for it (like Jedd I am sure is capable of training to that, but I doubt he can just TNS a 3 without making it a specific goal).  Maybe @Chez, too; he's one of the few people who I am sure could TNS a 3 but not sure he can lift the Inch (although I am sure he is capable of training up to it, if he cares to).

I'll give it try with a 3.5 sometime. 🤘

My only 3 has holes in the handles for choker hardware.  Everyone will call me a cheater. 😭

Thanks Vinnie! I’d love to see that combo more, so if anyone knows of successful attempts, please share
To my knowledge @camz Simon, Marco and Gabriel did the feat here in Germany.

J'ai commencé ce fil de discussion pour rassembler mes exploits préférés. 
173 lb Inch // CoC #3 TNS

C'est probablement mon combo préféré jusqu'à présent. Ma main gauche a suffisamment guéri pour faire 1 ou 2 singles par jour, alors j'ai essayé. Désolé pour la vidéo maladroite. C'est vraiment difficile de filmer cet exploit.

Est-ce que quelqu'un a une liste de personnes qui ont fait ce combo ? Je suis presque sûr que je suis la cinquième personne en Allemagne à le faire, mais j'aimerais connaître d'autres tentatives réussies

very strong and elite. I think it's very rare to achieve this kind of feat.

[Ben Helms]

Keeping that 3 closed throughout is a tough challenge bro! Great idea!

Awesome lift buddy! You made that look effortless 💪 

[dubyagrip]

This was fun.  Filming was tricky.  I'll do more experiments like this.

Thanks for the inspiration @d_blocmann !

Merci Vinnie ! J'aimerais voir ce combo plus souvent, donc si quelqu'un connaît des tentatives réussies, merci de les partager. À ma connaissance
@camz Simon, Marco et Gabriel ont réalisé l'exploit ici en Allemagne. 

eric roussain could do it I believe unless I'm wrong

[John Knowlton]

Fantastic lifting

This appears to be a fake. In the larger video, it shows you attempting to close a #3.5 CoC gripper with your right hand, while the smaller video features either you or someone else closing the same gripper with the left hand. Additionally, the 100 pound Inch Dumbbell that is disguised as 172 pounds wasn’t weighed for verification. Perhaps try approaching it like Tiziano, my friend!

Jokes aside (and yes, that was a joke), this is an incredible feat of strength. Truly impressive! What’s next on your list? A TNS close of the CoC #4 and lifting the Millennium Dumbbell? Or being more realistic for now, try TNSing a CoC #3.5 while lifting the 150 York blob!

I really believe you think I'm a cheater.  I demand a trip to Dubai to fully convince you.

Hahaha smart! Anyway, not to check you because I know for a fact you are real. But I have a feeling you’re coming to Dubai this year. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six more months from the date you will land here!
