The first thing that comes to mind when most people hear the name Thomas Inch is "Grip Strength" but there was so much more to the man than that.
He was a champion strand puller, a boxer, a great all-around lifter whose numbers even exceeded Sandow's in several lifts, an entrepreneur, a publisher and one of the first of the mail-order muscle barons. He was also one of the first, if not the first to introduce plate-loaded barbells and dumbbells.
