lifesnotfair Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Where you dude? You know, after seeing Tex's video of his double Inch DL, I thought of you.. because I remember seeing you Suitcase-style DL'ing a pair of barbells at 275lbs with no hook grip, if I remember correctly... So, seeing as the Inch is a bit over 100lbs LESS, in each hand, and you have a big hand... you could do a double Inch DL I bet !! How well do you do on the RT with each hand? What can you do with those thick dumbells you had made for you? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Took some time off man - I can DL my polished handled 2.5" 180lb DB easily right, not so easily left. 02-11-08 Took a little over a week off - needed it - totally feel fat and out of shape now though. SB Clean & Press Warm-ups - 100 x 5 Sandbag Clean & Press Medley (150-185-225 - strict press) - 50sec, 52sec, 59sec Pull-ups/Chins (alt sets) - Body x 6, Body x 6, Body x 5, Body x 4 DB Clean & Press (clean ea rep/strict press) - 90 x 10 (5ea arm) , 90 x 30 (15ea arm) - tuff SB Shoulder and Walk (shoulder, walk 60', open/close gate, walk 60', drop & reshoulder, walk 60', open/close gate, walk 60' = 1 rep) - 185 x 1 (tuff - way out of shape) 4 way Neck - 55x10, 65x10 Sledge Levering (combo tire taps, pro/sup and levers to nose) - 8 x 1, 10 x 1 Grippers - #3 x 1 (right only - Hard Squeeze Left) Good workout - short, but it gassed me quick.

CoC#3 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Morgan I am with Arturo i have always believed that you would be able to lift the inch - the lift of 180lbs on a 3'' barbell aswell as big RT confirms this. The issue with lifting the inches though is/was the grip and rotation of the bell not the weight as was suggested. Many strongmen can easily lift (and carry) 330lb farmers - nearly double the weight of the inch in each hand - for a long distance yet cannot even get air under the inch.

odin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Morgan I am with Arturo i have always believed that you would be able to lift the inch - the lift of 180lbs on a 3'' barbell aswell as big RT confirms this. I agree with this also. The Inch would be a foregone conclusion and a double Inch FW could likely be done now or with just a bit of specific training. Morgan, I feel like you are in the Chris James/John Eaton group of elite gripsters who fly a bit under the radar when superlatives are being passed out. Great feats occur with little notice, perhaps due to everyone thinking it comes easy for you guys-and somehow discounting your accomplishments as a result. The issue with lifting the inches though is/was the grip and rotation of the bell not the weight as was suggested. Many strongmen can easily lift (and carry) 330lb farmers - nearly double the weight of the inch in each hand - for a long distance yet cannot even get air under the inch. This amazes me. I think of myself as a fairly skinny and weak guy with strong thumbs-yet I can get pretty good air under the Inch? Man, if I can ever DL the Inch, especially with any kind of regularity...

maidenfan Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Imo, lifting the Inch definately isnt as hard for large handed folks - the guys with under 8" hands and stuff are what impress me. 02-13-08 Cable Rows - 150x10, 200x10 SB C&P Medley (150-185-235) - 42 sec (235 clean only), (150-185-225) - 35sec (225 fail), 185x5, 185x5, 185x5 Rope Pull-ups (2 ropes) - Bx7, 5, 5, 4 4way Neck - 65x10, 75x10, 55x10 1 Arm Sandbag Clean & Jerk - 100 x 1 (right only after a bunch of fails - fun exercise that hammers the grip hard) Okay workout - nothing special - 1 arm sb c&j's were fun to try.
