The Thomas Inch Trainer has been Christened, records were made, and records were quickly broken. My older brother came out to see what he could do now that I have a true trainer in the arsenal. After warming up he lifted 169.10lbs. Then he got 174.10lbs for several reps. Both weights smashing his previous record on my custom made handle. He then followed that up with 182.90lbs for several reps as well to finish up the night and smash all his records. Massive steps from what he has done before. We were so excited from his lifts that I didnt even remember what I had done before him. My brother said I did 147lbs which would've been a new record for me too. This thing is incredible. I absolutely love it and he is obsessed with it. We now have to find a real 172 Thomas Inch for him to try. I know of 1 near me and I'm trying to get some plans made for that lift to happen for him. Cross your fingers for us. We're gonna see what we can make happen.

For the first time I tried a dinnie stones style lift with my 60mm rolling handle & 60mm V-bar both by Gods Of Grip. The weight on the rolling handle was 50 Kg & on the V-bar was 55 Kg. I realised how difficult and fun that kind of lift was at the same time

Me training with my all time favourite training tool, the Gods Of Grip 60mm rolling handle. Here I was doing some single lifts and the weight was 55 Kg/121 Lbs

Tonight my older brother came out for bench and he also decided to join me for some grip training. I broke out all my blobs and my loadable Thomas Inch handle. I got up to 133.XX pounds on the handle and was playing with my 85 and 90 blobs. Sometimes doing them at the same time. I almost got 143.XX on the handle but couldnt make it happen for full range of motion. It did leave the ground though. The handle is 33.XXlbs empty so we just throw on 10s to get going and then get the small change plates on to really reach the limit.

I’m obsessed with trying to lift this historic inch bell!
