liftyzig Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Giant PR with my thumb blaster replica (1-5/8") of 108 lbs (swipe for video) Previously I only was able to lift 75 pounds and then felt a twinge in my thumb and it was numb for a day afterward, this time it felt great! https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yKkWygNNQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Would love to have more input as far as where I stack up on this, have heard from a few that this is a very good lift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul valpreda Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've got one and I love it. I haven't tried a max on it yet. Great lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant seem to help myself from going for max attempts with anything I get my hands on, call it a character flaw. Thanks Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinhoo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I know @ClayEdgin uses a thumb blaster a lot. I haven't had a chance to use one myself though. Seems like a pretty neat grip tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Love them, best way to go heavy on thumb volume without tearing the skin. I'd say anything over 100 is pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd seen @Lucasraymond mention that a few times, which is a good thing, my thumb webbing has decided to go from never tearing to tearing every workout.

Noobishindi Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I looked at the website to buy them and they have several different diameters for the pipe part. What’s the difference between them in terms of thumb usage? Would one size be more beneficial for thumb strength than another? Or does one have Moreno of a carryover to X grip feat than another?

The difference is based on your hand size, all 3 are pretty much the same action. My hands are less than 8 inches and I found the 1 5/8" felt the most comfortable. Bigger if you have bigger hands, smaller if you have small hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
