SShafley Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) This was reposted from the P&B. I thought it was a neat little idea. Bill, you can no longer say I never contributed anything to the Gripboard. My apologies if something like this has been posted before I was struck by an idea today, involving the "lightened" method of band use, and blob lifting. Maybe this could be useful to someone here. I thought it was nifty enough to try out and take some pics. That is only ~ a 25# blob. You can adjust the tension by using different bands or putting the band on different heights, or whatever other creative ways someone can think of varying it. Basically I took a jumpstretch band, looped it through the pins in my power rack, and put the blob on one of the sections of band. I don't remember ever hearing anyone talking about trying this, so, maybe I can call it "Shaf's Lightened Blob Method." Heh. O The Hubris! Edit: Not sure how picture posting works here on the Gripboard, so I'll have to provide some external links: The P&B post with pics: http://powerandbulk.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17443 The pics from Imageshack: http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00048hw2.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00049xn7.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00050ok6.jpg Edited December 5, 2006 by SShafley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShafley Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 I was told Rick Walker has posted similar thoughts on the same kind of topic, so I'm way behind the curve (3 years or so). I thought it was a spiffy idea, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Maidenfan told me about it too a few months ago, he said it helped him a great deal. Here's the picture. I think it is a great idea, whoever thought about it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 An oldie but a goodie - Steve. Works great with 2-45s etc also - just put a pipe in them and a band on each side under the pipe and pull away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Styles Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 When the wife's not around, I use our bedroom mattress. Just bounce the blob a little to get the needed assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anuwbius Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah mattress assisted lifting! I still get the best feeling from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
