Boulderbrew Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I finally got a chance to try the Fatman! So psyched to lift this on my first try. Wide pinch is definitely more my style.....now if only my narrow pinch power could catch up. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Great lift dude. Congrats! Edited February 18, 2017 by Chez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromegaman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Very impressive especially because it had No chalk seasoning on it when he received it so it is still fairly slick from the paint. Great lift! How long are your hands from wrist crease to longest fingertip? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great lift! How long are your hands from wrist crease to longest fingertip? It certainly was pretty slick. I have never felt any other York blobs, so I didn't really have a point of reference. My hands are about 8.5in from wrist crease to middle finger tip. Thanks for the props guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect sport for your hands then 😉 The blob will get easier with use as it gradually gets seasoned with chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderbrew Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I may have big hands, but I attempted a face lift today on the fatman and was not very close. It blows my mind that people can do that haha. Something to train for! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll definitely wanna get some chalk stuck on there too. I got my first face lift yesterday. Be careful not to overdo it and rip off a chunk of thumb skin like a did when attempting a few weeks ago. Seems you've definitely got the strength and hand size to get it down one of these days.

Wow that's awesome! Congrats. I'll keep working at it. You are right about thumb webbing skin.....mine is pretty sore after one session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 And you joined the gripboard Jan 12?! God your grip is so strong! All those rock climbing helped you a lot it seems. Keep doing all these man you might lift the blobzilla soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
