The Inch dumbbell, created by British strongman Thomas Inch weighs about 172 pounds and nine ounces and has a unique claim to fame; no one has taken the bell one handed over the head 'clean'- that is, without the
bell touching the body on the upward movement. Its very thick 2.38 inch diameter handle is the
major preventive factor in thwarting would-be lifters of average length hands.
Inch offered large sums of money to anyone who could overhead the bell with one hand and claimed that in his lifetime he never encountered anyone who could lift the 172 from the floor to overhead using only one hand. Even further he claimed that no one could clear it off the floor. He said he had overheaded it literally 'hundreds of times' sometimes lifting it twice in the same performance.
