Number Ten Ox Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 My new Blob50 was waiting for me when I came home today. It's great, it's lovely, it's HEAVY. I have more chance of winning the lottery than lifting that thing today. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com202 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Glad to hear you enjoy looking at the Blob50 Mine is on the way and I look forward to looking at mine also. I'll let you know how far away I am from picking it up when I get it. Later,Jason \\m// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Not to prematurely defeat myself but I don't see how lifting this thing by the Face is EVER going to happen. My thumb and pinky barely reach the edges and I can't seem to get both to wrap around. Pinching the normal way all five fingers wrap around just fine. No excuses there. Easy to remember how long it will take me to lift it, it's my wedding anniversary today. Four wonderful years with my wife. I hope it doesn't take four more to give this hunk of metal air time...

Number Ten Ox Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Wow, first i've heard of that. Mine is not quite 7 1/4, wrist to tip. From the joint of my thumb (IP) to joint of my pinky (DIP) is 6.5 at most. I can get both joints to fold over the edges of the face, its just that they only cover about 30% of the blob. Do-able? I love this thing. I've probably done ten excersises so far and this after a day @ the climbing gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 my friend has a 45lb blob and when i lift it with two hands and let it rest against my leg and hold it with one hand, it makes me feel cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

com202 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just got my Blob50 today. That thing is heavy, obviously. I picked it up 2 handed, but 1 handed was a no go. I need to find some chalk and see if that will help. I think it is possible for me to pick it up by the face, but it will be awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Chalk = Life. I was able to two hand lift my blob + 20 lbs with my palms facing away last night but both palms facing towards I could do about ten lbs less. Is this normal? I figured it was because my fingers could take more weight than just my thumbs and when palms were out the weight was focused on them...

FatBoy Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I got my blob 50 form Gordon about three weeks ago and the only way I can give it air time is with two hands. This thing is massive. My hands are 7.25in so I think lifting this monster by the face is out of the question for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkmann Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have one of these too. I love the thing butit is daunting. I have the same issue as Ox, except he is a whole hell of a lot stronger than me. I think my hand actually measures theexact same size. Loks like Fatboy is in the small hand man group too.

Number Ten Ox Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yup, no face lifts for the small hand boys, I wonder what a good goal is for a face lift for small hands? Is a 40# blob doable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
