Thomas Inch Dumbbell

No ordinary man can lift it (Clean & Press) without having the dumbbell roll out of their hands. Not like it’s extremely heavy for a big weightlifter. First a one arm lift off the floor then power it up over the head. Apparently someone did in 2002 and another before this article was penned. Both very big men.

I wonder if Thomas Inch figured this out or just discovered by accident?

So what does this mean?

"He was also known for famously bent pressing humans with one arm, an awesome, entertaining feat of strength very complicated to perform"

Hey geo, it’s a typo in all likelihood. I think ‘bent’ means bench pressing. Doesn’t say how many people at a time or how heavy the human(s) might have been. If it was me I’d prefer a female cheerleader in each hand over some gorilla passed out at the bar.

Edit: Two types of lifter

I’m more of the third type….let somebody else do it or find a lifting device that can handle it
