ryaneverk2 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Does anyone here practice tossing their lesser blobs from hand to hand? If so, what are your best tosses (biggest blob tossed, time tossing or number of times tossed, etc)? I tried this tonight with a 25 pounder, couldn't quite do it. I want to eventually be able to toss it back and forth like a softball: with ease. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Sean Dockery does it with the regular Blob (50#) - it's pretty awesome to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I've tossed my 25lb York block for over 100 catches. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 yes done this a few times but only with a 30lber and I ended with holes in my lawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the video of him passing/weaving it between his legs, but haven't seen him actually toss it. That's incredible. Hammerhead, what has tossing your 25 pounder so much helped you with? What kind of strength has it helped develop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I just helps with being more exploseve in your wide pinch. Also, every time you catch it your grip will be diff. so that's a nice bonus too. It's a hell of a lot more fun than just doin' deadlifts with you hardest block you can. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorta swinging it up, letting go, and then tried to catch it. It was actually a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Dockery Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Clip entitled "more Blob Lifting 8/30/04" There's footage of me tossing the 50. http://www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album168 Best reps with a lesser blob is 20 with a 42.5 York. I've not tried smaller ones for more reps. Tossing is way more fun than just deadlifting. I think my handstrength skyrockets when I'm consistently training tosses, but what do I know.

ryaneverk2 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Sean, I watched that clip last night... AMAZING. It does seem like blob tossing may be one of the best exercises for overall hand strength, but hey, what would John Brookfield know anyway. 20 tosses with a 42.5 is incredible.

capt. crushalot Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Sean, Some incredible blob handling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew2 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've been able to catch the 42.5 ounce just before it hit the ground I'm trying to practice on these more.It's fun for me because there is always a gamble that this time might be the time I catch it. I feel it helps gain the over pinch you need for alot of the pinch exercises. By the way for the record Doc is pretty modest I think he might know a few things he does some incredible blob handling but thats my opinion and what I know is worth about 2 cents.
