Blob50 vs. Half 110

Recommended Posts

A question for the Blob aficionados out there - Is a Half 110 blob really easier to lift than a Blob50? In the Living Legends Blob Medley line-up, the Half 110 is listed first. I've never attempted a Half 110, so I was a bit surprised that it was identified as easier, despite weighing a few pounds more.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who've lifted both.

If its a legacy, does it really weigh more? And the flatter thumb side should make it easier for the same actual weight. Not sure on width difference.

Never lifted a half 110 before, but my 120 is considerably harder than a FatMan and a FatMan is considerably harder than a Blob50, so I would imagine that the 110 is harder than a Blob50.

I’m really not sure.

Are we talking a Blob50 or a half 100 Fatman, because those are two completely different Blobs.

So the fatman is harder than the half 110 and the half 110 is harder than the Blob50?

I think Andrew had all the blobs in a blob medley for one of his contest back in 2017 so you can ask those guys how they felt. Rob was at that contest and a vid of his run is below

Andrew also posted a vid of Kody trying the legends blobs so you can ask Kody to. Having trouble finding that vid though

I purchased my Blob50 many years ago and I got it directly from Gordon V.  At that time, I remember a discussion about some of the Blob50's being harder than a half York of the same weight because they had a slicker surface on them.  The one I have is definitely harder to lift than a Legacy 110.

The order I did at Gripmas was 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 (i think those were the light ones) then BLOB50, Half 110, Fatman, Blobzilla (didnt lift Fatman or Blobzilla)

I only remember seeing a 120 at gripmas. Were there both? 

edit: NVM did some digging and saw there was lol. For some reason I thought the 120 was in the medley though

Wow many opinions here. It seem to differ a lot then. I have half of 50KG (110 pounds) and it is harder than my fatman.
