I've just had Thomas Inch brought to my attention recently and his famous "Inch Dumbbell".
The handle of the Inch Dumbbell is 2.47 inches; originally made thick for the sole purpose of preventing bending from the weight of the huge sphere bells at either end. The girth of the dumbbell however became the prime factor of the sheer effort involved to lift the dumbbell a mere centimetre from the floor.
We could consider this one of the very earliest form of manufacture "thickbar".
See Robert Inch lifting the Inch Dumbbell here.
Additionally we have various Inch Dumbbell lifting videos currently featured at the top right of the blog page (subject to change).
