I will clean this fucking thing. I am obsessed with the Thomas Inch Dumbbell.

Many consider it to be the greatest feat of grip strength ever to clean and press the inch. I will consider it just some shit I did in 2012.

So far the only men to have done it have been the Kaz and Rich Williams.

It is not a measure of “if” only a measure of “when”

I have worked more and more fat bar training in to my program in preparation for the possible LA Fitness Expo grip contest, and to have a shot at Mighty Mitts.

Since getting my Inch Dumbbells I have worked on many of the famous lifts to include the Inch plus blob lift, the inch dumbbell + york blob farmers walk, the double inch deadlift, and the double inch farmers walk.

I saw Nick McKinless snatch the baby inch, that was impressive enough, also Rob Russell BUP the baby inch. To clean and press the big boys inch would be epic, if you could snatch it then that would be insane!

I believe Mark Henry has clean and pressed the Inch as well!

Mark lifted Dennis Rogers “fish bell” which was a 4″ handle at 122 lbs. Also a bell VERY few people have ever lifted. Henry has not cleaned the inch, but i am certain he could do it with the most moderate of training. His strength is off the charts.
