PeterSweden Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 DHL just called me. They will deliver my blockweights on monday morning! Any suggestions on how to train with them? I bought 17kg, 20kg and 25kg blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Theo Burggraaf, the first Dutch COC mentioned he trained his pinky and ringfinger with blockweights to make them stronger, which aided him in the final gripperclose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah! Jedd Johnson told me the same thing! Other than that it looks like so much fun when Juha harju lifts hus blockweights that I just had to buy some from gladiatorpower.eu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I dont know. I emailed gladiatorpower and he said that he'd fix it on monday.

PeterSweden Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 17kg came up botH hands, no problem. 20kg was alittle bigger and almost came off the floor. Some squatting before next attempt and maybe I can get air under it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 I have never seen any other blockweights so I dont know. As far as I know these gladiatorpower.eu-blockweights are the only available in Europe. Prize for a blockweight shipped from the states will cost more than what I paid for all 3 of these in Germany.
