Thomas Inch Dumbbell Hold Also known as the unliftable dumbbell due to such a thick handle and heavy weight. This was my first time lifting it. The lift was ugly as a sin, but it only gets better from here. 🦾 #gripstrength #thomasinchdumbbell #strongman #oldschool #strength @shawstrength @joeldircks @shawstrengthpodcast @biglozwsm | Powerhousepersia

No one was able to complete lifting these three dumbbells due to the size of the grip and the weight. The last dumbbell was the Thomas inch dumbbell from 1908 172 pounds with over an inch thick handlebar making it very tough to control! Thank you guys for giving me this opportunity. It was super fun and thank you to everyone who gassed me up! Let me know what I should do next. Let’s keep having fun.
