  • John Grimek Bent-Presses the Louis Cyr Challenge Dumbbell

    • John Grimek had his eye on lifting the Louis Cyr Challenge Dumbbell for a long time.

    Needless to say the ponderous weight defied his attempts to lift it, just as it had for the better part of nearly a century.

    Finally, Grimek succeeded in bent-pressing the thick-handled dumbbell overhead and added his name to a very short list.

    You can currently see the Cyr Challenge dumbbell at the York Barbell Hall of Fame in York Pennslyvania.     		John Grimek Bent-Presses the Louis Cyr Challenge DumbbellJohn Grimek Bent-Presses the
