Grip History Questions - Richard Sorin?

[Florian Kellersmann 273]

1. In which year Richard "invented" the Blob lift?

2. Could Richard pinch 2x45 DD York before he could lift the Blob?

3. When was his first 2x45 DD York pinch lift?

Well, I looked in John Brookfield’s 1995 book, Mastery of Hand Strength. The answers are not in it. He mentioned that Richard had the York 50-lb. “for a long time” in his gym.

I couldn’t find the Horne magazine Iron Grip with Richard on the cover, it had an interview with him. Maybe  there?

Probably easier to find and ask Richard.

I read, I think in the IM Forum or MILO, that the Blob lift came up in the early 90s, but I would like to know it exactly. 

Hope Richard reads the thread and can give some insights.
