  • The Thomas Inch Dumbbell - Lifted At Last

    • Inch Dumbbell LiftInch Dumbbell LiftHistory is made: John Gallacher of Glasgow becomes the first man in modern history to lift the Thomas Inch Dumbbell at the 1957 NABBA Mr. Universe Contest held in London, England.

    Mr. Gallacher fully deadlifted the Inch Dumbbell 3 times that night and was awarded the Special Plaque by Thomas Inch himself.

    As you should know, the famous Thomas Inch Dumbbell weighs 172 pounds and has a 2-3/8th inch diameter thick handle making it a tremendous grip challenge for anyone who attempts to lift it.

    This challenge weight defied thousands of athletes until Mr. Gallacher came along.
