Heavy and inert (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaden

(Other definitions for leaden that I've seen before include "Heavy and slow, as if weighted down with heavy metal" , "Dull, heavy, slow" , "Gloomy - slow-moving" , "Heavy - plodding" , "Heavy or slow, like dark-gray metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
