Travis Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The sad thing is that this is the only way I can pick them up, but I am working on it. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=2990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Cenidoza Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Are those 50lb York blob's you're lifting? Outstanding! Odd that you can't lift them the "normal" way though... you oughta try lifting it by grabbing the side radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Great job! For some reason(maybe the size of my hand) I can play with 45 s and 47 1/2 even snatch them but the 52 lb Blob is a killer for me when lifted by the face. There again the size and width seem to be a huge factor in feats of gripping strength. Every time I see a post about the "Blob" I smile thinking I might have given the world something good.

Outstanding!Odd that you can't lift them the "normal" way though... you oughta try lifting it by grabbing the side radius. ← The one in my right hand is 471/2 the one on the left is 45. Its hard to tell from the picture, but I only use my middle two fingers on the 471/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottabend Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Phenominal! I hear what you're saying about the width issue. I share your experience (though not to that extreme). I find it much easier to pinch something 4" or greater in width vs something narrow. I tried my 52# Blob by the face the other day after Richard issued the challenge. Ain't happening anytime soon for me. :-) My hands are 7 7/8" and doesn't feel like I'm making enough contact. Also have to hyper-extend my thumb. Yours looks good - like you have a good grasp on these. Good luck and killer paws! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
